Purpose Driven Life //#cpd

Pls Read this: This is an absolutely incredible short interview with Rick Warren, 'Purpose Driven Life ' author and pastor of Saddleback Church in California .

In the interview by Paul Bradshaw with Rick Warren, Rick said:

People ask me, What is the purpose of life?

And I respond: In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and God wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the end of my body-- but not the end of me.

I may live 60 to 100 years on earth, but I am going to spend trillions of years in eternity. This is the warm-up act - the dress rehearsal. God wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity..

We were made by God and for God, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to make sense.

Life is a series of problems: Either you are in one now, you're just coming out of one, or you're getting ready to go into another one.

The reason for this is that God is more interested in your character than your comfort; God is more interested in making your life holy than He is in making your life happy.

We can be reasonably happy here on earth, but that's not the goal of life. The goal is to grow in character, in Christ likeness.

No matter how good things are in your life, there is always something bad that needs to be worked on.

And no matter how bad things are in your life, there is always something good you can thank God for.

You can focus on your purposes, or you can focus on your problems:

If you focus on your problems, you're going into self-centeredness, which is my problem, my issues, my pain.' But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto God and others.

Actually, sometimes learning to deal with the good is harder. For instance, this past year, all of a sudden, when the book sold 15 million copies, it made me instantly very wealthy.

It also brought a lot of notoriety that I had never had to deal with before. I don't think God gives you money or notoriety for your own ego or for you to live a life of ease.

So I began to ask God what He wanted me to do with this money, notoriety and influence. He gave me two different passages that helped me decide what to do, II Corinthians 9 and Psalm 72.

First, in spite of all the money coming in, we would not change our lifestyle one bit.. We made no major purchases.

Second, about midway through last year, I stopped taking a salary from the church.

Third, we set up foundations to fund an initiative we call The Peace Plan to plant churches, equip leaders, assist the poor, care for the sick, and educate the next generation.

Fourth, I added up all that the church had paid me in the 24 years since I started the church, and I gave it all back. It was liberating to be able to serve God for free.

We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?

Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism? Or am I going to be driven by God's purposes (for my life)?

When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, God, if I don't get anything else done today, I want to know You more and love You better. God didn't put me on earth just to fulfill a to-do list. He's more interested in what I am than what I do.

That's why we're called human beings, not human doings.

Happy moments, PRAISE GOD.
Difficult moments, SEEK GOD.
Quiet moments, WORSHIP GOD.
Painful moments, TRUST GOD.
Every moment, THANK GOD..

If you do not pass it on, nothing will happen. But it will just be nice to pass it on to a friend or a loved one just like I have done.\

 

 

   Ephesians 02 : 10

If you are saved, it is He Who is within you, working through you !!!!!!!!!!!

He will accomplish His will, with our without you.

What will you allow Him?

How much of you will you allow Him?

You were created to serve Him.

That is the believer's purpose.

We allow Him to drive us.

A slave of a living God.

Created unto good works.

Pre ordained.

To walk in.

Know?

Yes?

?
Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you.

This time is short, serve Him well, serving all.

Without exception.

Know?

Yes?

DISCOVERING THE PERFECT PICTURE AND SHAPE OF THE SCATTERED PIECE OF PUZZLE

 

DISCOVERING THE PERFECT PICTURE AND SHAPE OF THE SCATTERED PUZZLE PIECE



A puzzle is a game or problem that tests a person's ingenuity or knowledge. In a puzzle, one is required to put pieces together in a logical way, in order to arrive at the correct solution of the puzzle.
Puzzles are often devised as a form of entertainment but they can also arise from serious mathematical or logistical problems.
Solutions of puzzles often require the recognition of patterns and the creation of a particular kind of order. Sometimes not because of how complicated and diagonal the pattern can get. Puzzles are based mostly on discovery(To discover the perfect picture and shape of the scattered piece).
 
To arrange a puzzle, you need to:

• know the actual image of the puzzle,
• the missing part or the scattered part of the puzzle,
• and Acquire the knowledge of reshaping the puzzle 

 
Here is where I come in.
"DISCOVERING THE PERFECT PICTURE AND SHAPE OF THE SCATTERED PIECE OF PUZZLE"
 
Every human being can be likened to a puzzle, the moment you come into this life, you come as a simple scattered puzzle (( A NEW BORN BABY)) as you grow, your puzzle has the tendency to get arranged or get complexly scattered. Whichever of the above that happens to you is a matter of choice...
it either you allow the creator of the puzzle arrange it or  you allow an outsider(anybody, family, relatives, friends,) who knows little or absolutely nothing about the puzzle to arrange it for you.

If we human beings are like puzzles, and God created us then that means God is the creator of the puzzle. The creator of a puzzle can solve the (problems of) puzzle faster than any one else, this is mainly because he knows every interior and exterior of every puzzle he must have created except only in cases where he uses outsider(s),( family, relatives, friends,) to solve the problems by giving him inspiration and knowledge to do so. All you just need to do is allow him fix you

Some of the times, we disappoint him by giving our puzzles, our life, our heart  to just anybody. when we let our puzzles fall into the wrong hands, the so called outsiders disorder our puzzles complexly, making like more difficult for us.




If u therefore desire a perfect shape from your puzzle, a perfect being of you in him, all you need to do is allow him to solve your puzzle, accept and embrace you to make him perfect because he and he alone knows how, when, why and where to do it. Therefore,

ALLOW HIM FIX YOU
