Re-programming your life

Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. Exodus 3: 1 KJV

Exodus 3: 1-10; Exodus 7: 9

Moses was 80 years old when he encountered the burning bush. To all intent he would have been considered a failure; he was working for his father in-law and beholden to his wife’s family. A lot of us see ourselves in this light as well.

Why are people considered failures? Some people have their life programed in the wrong way.

• We do not have the right kind of mentors 1 Samuel 2: 22. A lot of us have failed because we do not have the right kind of mentor-ship. If this is your case, you must reprogram your life
• A lot of us did not determine at a young age how we want our future to be. A lot of us did not define for ourselves how we like to see ourselves in the future. Gen 37: 4
• We do not have a vision of how our life’s success should be. What is the idea that you saw or see in your mind of where you think your life is going?
• We fail to dream big and imagine the unimaginable and bring it to life
• A lot of us went into the wrong program because we took the wrong decision. Gen 25: 29-34. With this wrong decision, we find ourselves struggling and fighting to find our way out of the wrong decision

A lot of us has made a mistake at one time or the other in life that has changed the course of our lives. For some it was the first job, the first boyfriend/ girlfriend, the wife/husband, the decision to use drugs, the first investment we made; all this mistakes change the direction of our lives and how we succeed on that journey.

There is space for everyone to be great. There is no big conglomerate today that started big, they all started small and worked hard, with dedication and focus. What God is asking you is what do you have in your hand for Him to bless and multiply for you.

The only thing that can re-program your life and put it on the path of success and fulfillment is to invite God into your life and allow Him to direct your path. Determine in your heart and in your life that things must change! Turn around and link the right path God had ordained for you.

God’s plan for us is not one of failure; for He says that His thought for us are good to give us an expected end. Jeremiah 29: 11. Cry unto God, cry like David, Jesus, Abraham, Isaac, Jabez, the widow of Zarephat cried and they experienced a change in their lives.

What is the meaning of life? pt 4

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Genesis 2: 7, 15 KJV

A lot of people are so brilliant but are poor, a lot are so capable and yet cannot excel. A lot of us are not succeeding because of someone who does not want you to succeed. There is the story of an old man who at 70 years had a capacity to remember word for word sermons and discussions in church without leaving anything out. For this skill he was made secretary in many departments. Then one day the Pastor asks him; Baba how come you are this brilliant but you are poor? Baba said he didn’t have an answer. Baba was brilliant, found it easy to solve people’s problems and everywhere he went he was a solution. Then the pastor prayed for him and he asked Baba to find out from his ancestral home what happened when he was born.

When he went home and asked the question he found someone alive who still had the answer. He told him that his parents went to inquire about his future. They told his parents he would travel and excel, that he would be great in diaspora. His parents said no that as an only child they do not want him far away from them. Due to their shortsightedness they decided to prevent him from leaving them. This became the stumbling block to his success and fulfilling his destiny.

This is what a lot of us face this day. Someone somewhere decides that what we have is not good enough. They are used as the stumbling block to our success, not because they do not love you but because they feel that they know the best for you. We must find out who we are, what our purpose is and what we are to achieve with the fulfillment of purpose.

Finally, you need to ask yourself; where am I going after I leave this earth. How can be sure of this answer? What is the solution to this struggle and achieving? Give your life to Jesus! This world is our exam and we must pass that exam in a great and mighty way. Talk to Jesus today. So that we would end up in the right place at the end of life here on earth.

What is the meaning of life? pt 3

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it. Genesis 2: 7, 15 KJV

What am I doing here? What is my duty and what is my responsibility here on earth? There is a reason God created you; you are not a mistake. The bible tells us in Genesis 2:15, that God put man in the garden to dress and to keep it. The duty of man is to obey God and do that which He has told us to do. Everyone has a duty and responsibility here on earth. Most of us has been created to do something and to protect that thing.

We are not just here to look good and to accumulate, we are here to fulfill a purpose.  Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. Jeremiah 1:5. This means before our conception God already knew you; He had imagined you in His thought and had an idea of what you would become. It is after He had finished the design and purpose that the baby is conceived.

God had known you before He formed you. He and pictured you and known what purpose you will fulfill. We have a specific duty to carry out as creations of God. A lot of us work below par and find it so hard to fulfill our potential of our life.

Exodus 3:1-10 tells us the story of a man called Moses. The bible said Moses at the age of 80 found himself in the back of life. He found himself not where he is supposed to be but where he was not supposed to be. He was a lonely shepherd man living off his father-in-law. Instead of him being the Shepherd of men, he was leading the sheep. Moses at the backside of the desert suddenly had an encounter with God. God told him that he is not a failure but his purpose was to lead the people of Israel.

It is important for us to know what we are meant to achieve in life. There is a difference between duty or responsibility and achievement. Some people know what they should do, they do it but even in their doing there is no achievement. It is one thing to labour, yet it is another thing to show fruit of the labour. You are working hard and struggling; trying one thing it doesn’t work and trying another one but there is no fruit to show for it.

As a creation of a universal and eternal God, we are created not to labour in vain. We are created to labour and to be fruitful. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Genesis 1:28 KJV
Being fruitful is a portion of God's own inheritance saved by Christ.
