The key to my destiny is submission not service

-

Several years ago, I encouraged a few friends to contribute monthly to a grocery fund for a child-headed family in a nearby squatter camp. My friends did not let me down; most of them not only wanted to donate money, but also wanted to be actively involved in buying and delivering the groceries. I was very proud of this initiative, as I believed I was serving the Creator and doing good work.

However, this service was not good enough in the spiritual territory, where Jesus Christ reigns supreme. I do not exist to fulfill my own plans; I exist to fulfill the Creator's plan for my life. And in order for this plan to be revealed, I first need to accept the invitation into the Kingdom of God, and then fully submit to the King. When I started this initiative, I had not accepted this invitation. I was therefore a fool to think I was serving the Creator when in fact I was serving my own ego.

I have now accepted the invitation into the Kingdom, but in order for the details of the plan for my life to be revealed, I have to submit fully to the King. This is a big challenge, because it is not a one-time event; it is a daily activity. When I attempted to serve the Creator outside the Kingdom, I was making my own initiatives, similar to this one, and had an expectation that the Creator would bless them. But I am learning that this is not how He works. Therefore, in order to be aligned with His way of doing things, I have submitted myself to the Kingdom for all the days of my life, so that I can successfully reach the destiny He has planned for my life. Because service without submission will not lead to my eternal destiny.

LIFE LESSON: The revelation of Trinity is for our benefit.

I grew up in a denominational church which embraced the idea that the Creator is a Triune Being,therefore the term Holy Trinity is a term I am well familiar with and I thought I understood it until I heard a critic say “ 3 in 1 is a good description for a brand of shampoo and not a logical description of God.”. When I was not able to provide a counter argument against this statement I realized that I did not understand this concept of the One Creator in 3 persons, because “ if you can't explain it you don't understand it ”.  I have chosen the Bible as my playbook for my journey towards being who I was created to be, so it is critical that I fully comprehend this concept of a Triune Creator. I went on a journey to understand and explain it, this is how my journey unfolded. Created in His image The first thing I did was to consider that I was also created in 3 inseparable forms i.e. body, soul and spirit and the Bible says I am created in the Creator’s image so, I applied this lo...

WHAT RELGION TAUGHT ME Freedom in Christ means independence WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS Matthew 6:34 Reads:  Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Context of the scripture Jesus teaches his audience on the Mount that as his followers they should not worry about the things that also worries non believers  instead they should focus on the Kingdom of God and what God wants them to do and everything else will be provided for them. What the scripture teaches me As a Christian I should not worry about the same things that the world worries about instead I should be fully focused on God and the tasks he has set for me to achieve and He will provide me with all else that I need. CONCLUSION When I fully rely on God he frees from the worries of the world by providing for my needs. Freedom in Christ means dependence on God

My journey to destiny seeks focus not random inspiration

It was my practice to seek out random inspirational quotes to assist me during times of difficulty. This worked for a while until it proved to be ineffective, and in fact, these quotes frequently left me feeling hopeless and empty. As a result, I discontinued seeking them out. I was unable to comprehend why these quotes had such a negative influence on me until now. God (of the Bible), who is the source of my faith journey, has a specific lane for me to travel on toward my destination. It was therefore unwise to seek inspiration in quotes that are based on life journeys that are rooted in unknown sources. My alignment with my created path toward destiny was activated when I accepted the invitation into the Kingdom of God. However, if I remain passive, I will not align myself with this path. My contributing action to the success of my alignment is to sacrifice my own desires for the desires of God (of the Bible)  To understand the differences between my own desires and the desires ...
