NEVER OCCURRED, AT THIS POINT OF OUR LIFE WE WOULD BE DOING THIS? I IMAGINE THAT’S HOW GOD LOOKS AT OUR LIFE ALSO!!

Isn’t it amazing how the course of our lives, how changes occur from childhood to adult, where you once had “questions of a thousand dreams” which has disintegrated into just one, and that one you are still chasing, never seeming to get it right.

So now you tell yourself, IT NEVER OCCURRED AT THIS POINT OF MY LIFE I WOULD BE DOING THIS? My friends as “God’s vessel of clay [how many times were we] marred in the hand of the potter [because Satan told us he had a better way];

So He [re-made us again and again] into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make.” Jer.18:4 (PSV)) And thank God he is not finished with us yet, because like us, God always INTENDED FOR US TO BE farther along, ON OUR JOURNEY.

But if we will “focus our mind on things above, [and] not on things on this earth” Col. 3:2 (NKJV) and hold firm to our faith and endure till the end, the Lord will fulfill his purpose for [all His Children, because His] steadfast love, endures forever.

[And He will] not forsake the work of His hands.” [for He is] confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; Ps. 138:8, Phil 1:6 (PSV) In addition, everything we do must center around our Salvation and the effort we place on finishing this Journey Christ has placed us on.

In addition, God is looking for utility workers to enter the battle field, willing to get into the trenches and get it done for our Savior. The time for laying out a blueprint for our life has passed, whatever we haven’t done for ourselves up until this point is secondary.

A story is told about the American Civil War, General Stonewall Jackson who needed to get all of his supplies and wagons across a river. After telling his engineers to plan and build a bridge so his army could cross, he called his wagon master in to tell him that it was urgent the wagon train cross the river as soon as possible.

The wagon master started gathering all the logs, rocks and fence rails he could find and he managed to build a bridge. Long before day light General Jackson was told by his wagon master all the wagons and artillery had crossed the river.

General Jackson asked what where his engineers doing? The wagon master’s only reply was that they were in their tent drawing up plans for a bridge. My friends all of the planning was done before the foundation of the world.

“For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love” Eph. 1:4 (NIV) and the climax was Calvary “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (NKJV)

And now, Satan wants the world to think the battle continues, but my friends God’s word tells us “After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, to fulfill the Scripture, said, “I am thirsty……” Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “IT IS FINISHED!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.” John 19:28-30 (ASV)

So the only thing left, is for His faithful to tell the world the war IS FINISHED because “the living one [Christ]. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.” Rev. 1:18 (ESV)

And now my friends let’s all finish God’s mandate as we look to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Heb. 12:2 (ESV)

In addition, one day soon, He will wipe away every tear from [our] eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things [will] have passed away.” and AT THAT POINT IN ETERNITY, WE WILL BE DOING WHAT GOD HAD ALWAYS PLANNED FOR OUR LIVES.

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
