What is your purpose here? Do you know?
Oftentimes, we all get to this point in our lives where we begin to ask such questions
Pondering and wondering if there is more to life than ‘Solomon Grundy’s life outline’ that we find ourselves in!
Solomon Grundy;
Born on Monday
Christened on Tuesday
Married on Wednesday
Took ill on Thursday
Worse on Friday
Died on Saturday
Buried on Sunday
This is the end of Solomon Grundy!
For a handful of people, the above is their life’s story in a nutshell; their lives are structured and mapped out for them long before they’re born.
These ones are born into wealthy homes with all the connections needed
‘The family’ dictates what they must wear, how they must talk, which schools the will attend, what courses to study, who their circle of friends must be, who to marry and jobs are set apart for them.
This in itself is not bad, except that, in most cases, it is a kind of bondage that restricts the SOUL. Any organized system without God as the center, crashes.
Of course such cases sometimes do not end well, as history has shown.
Now, a Christ centered life is the total opposite! So many times you do not know what to expect because you’re totally dependent on Him, ready to do His bidding as each day unfolds
Matthew 28: 16-20 sums up our TASK on this side of the divide. Of course, the variations are so very obvious as we begin to serve and manifest that which has been deposited in us as apportioned by Him (Romans 12 :4 – 8; 1 peter 4: 10 – 11; 1 Corinthians 12 : 1 - 14), the gifts then fit the prescription!
A major BUT, the enemy does not want you to know, because if you discover it, he and his agents are in serious trouble
1 Corinthians 1
1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.
3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
