Loved ones it's been a whole week!!!
I want to share the Highlight of my week which was a sermon I heard in church. You know what?? It was such a great sermon I think I'll always remember it, especially when I need to be reminded of it.
In essence the sermon helped me prioritize my priorities in life. I think a lot of the time we live life just constantly feeling like we have to achieve so many goals , like making sure I do the 10Krun, I have enough savings, I'm traveling, I’m the best Sunday school teacher ever, I have the best women's ministry in the world I'm married in 5 years, I see my business grow, have my own TV show, own a magazine, earn a higher salary, be the first female something, or first African something, make sure I look younger and slimmer when I'm 40, NEED I SAY MORE!!!!!!!!
I mean we grow up and live in such a goal driven society, not living up to my standards or to society's standards can be a staggering fear or sense of failure.
So what does this have anything to do with Intimacy with Jesus??? NOTHING. Does Jesus care about me being a hot mom in my 40's still walking in h heels?? Probably YES hahah. (I'm only 27 now)
The whole point was that last week's sermon was another WAKE UP CALL for me in regards to my time and a lifestyle of intimacy with the Lord.
It’s as if you start becoming this prayer robot that Loves Jesus for what he can get you through not for who He really is and what he is about.
There's nothing wrong with having big dreams and desires, most of them are from the Lord anyway, but it’s like we start using God's Name in Vain, by creating a platform for our goals & egos all in the NAME OF LORD.
Last week’s sermon was a great reminder that our sole purpose in this generation is to spread the Kingdom of God, through his son Jesus Christ with the power of the Holy Spirit.” But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"(MATTHEW6:33)
The Lord wants nothing more than to give you & me the desires of our pumping little hearts, especially if they’re allied with his will for us. Does that mean I should seek the kingdom of God in order to get what I "desire" NOOOO. It means my heart's desire and priority should be Jesus because apart from him honestly this life has no sense of purpose.
When I pray I’m not only praying for my business to grow instead I ask the Lord how can you use this business you've given me to spread the Love of your Kingdom?? Instead of always whining about my boss or work to the Lord I say Jesus how I can show my colleagues the Love & power of your Kingdom. So I want to sign off with this encouraging scripture of worth:
John 14: “And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it”. (John 14:13-14)
Jesus adores you Woman of Worth!!!
