PURPOSE AND YOU.
Purpose and You
The school holidays has begun for a whole lot of us. We are looking at more than 4 weeks of freedom. That means 2 weeks of free time as well. So what do I do in these holidays?
Seeing as I have about 3 months, I’d better go look for a job. But while waiting for those companies to come begging on their knees for me to join them, I spent my time watching movies, or shall I say re-watching movies from the past.
I started off from Pirates Of Caribbean, the trilogy. And then I moved on to an all time favorite, Back to The Future Trilogy.
While on a bus journey that would take almost an hour and even more, there really aren’t many things you can do. You get bored. But the frantic actions of the characters in the film really caught my attention.
I begin to wonder, why is it that these characters never seem to slow down in their journey? Where does Jack Sparrow (Starred by Johnny Depp.. oooo….) get his energy from to escape the grasps of Davy Jones’ locker. Where did Marty Mcfly (starred by Michael J. Fox) get that kind of energy to save Doc from being murdered all the way in 1885?
Purpose. The answer is Purpose.
Someone once said that Purpose is the fuel for all dreams. Purpose is the one thing that turns empty and boring chores into fulfilling and satiable mission.
In the Pirates of Caribbean, the Flying Dutchman has to fulfill the chores of ferrying souls who died at sea over to World’s End. When Will Turner (Starred by Orlando Bloom, another OOoo…) took over as captain, Bootstrap Bill said,
“The Dutchman has a purpose again”.
Indeed, purpose is not something that comes from thin air. Purpose is something we ought to seek. Even the seeking of a purpose is a purpose. But the search for our purpose can take an extremely long time.
THANK GOD we have GOD to help us aye? Yeah.. But how many of us truly seek him for who he is and what he has installed for us?
More often than not, before we can give the Holy Spirit an opportunity to download information from Heaven, we close the connection. And hence, people complain that their lives were empty. Very little wonder why.
Without diligently seeking the Lord, how is it that we can find him? We always say that our God is good. So it goes without saying, good things require time to search and work for.
You cannot possible walk into Louis Vuitton and point to everything and tell the sales girl to give you one of each without first working hard to foot the enormous bill aft right?
If prayer is the currency in Heaven, then shouldn’t we be praying more so as to accumulate wealth? That way we can access God’s treasure house and receive all the Gucci, Prada and LV from Him.
But it is not all about just about what we can get from him. It is all about HIM.
H I M
It all starts with H I M and it will end with H I M. So our prayers should be focused on our love for H I M, what we can do for H I M, and His purpose for our lives.
That way, we would not waste time and go around in circles like drunkards trying to find our way.
So with all these ferocious preaching and testimonies about prayer going on, what are you people waiting for?
Now’s the season for prayer as I gather, so Heavenly gifts, wisdom, and so much more are up for grabs.
The great Heavenly sale is on, don’t bother about the Great Singapore Sale. Just GET ON YOUR Knees and Start praying.
You will find your purpose in Him once again. And perhaps, your Prada and Gucci are coming your way.
