The Obvious

Getting off course from your assignment will leave you to believe that it’s your business to focus on the obvious when in fact the obvious is what’s blinding you from the truth. When you’re about your father’s business His focus is now your focus and His alone. When we deviate from the assignment confusion, frustration, depression and uncertainty sets in. We believe that what we’re doing is right and it could be rightfully so, but also rightfully wrong as well. Who determines the right from the wrong will determine the outcome. We have to be careful to not allow our footing to tread upon territory that will take us away from safety. Being defiant and misusing our power will have one to believe that we are in control of our own lives. Many people that fall from grace believe that they have mastered enough power and gained enough control that the power that is in their hands, is the absolute power that can triumph overall.  The horror behind believing that you and I alone have the power will make one believe that we are gods in man creation without the spirit of God. Be cautious of people that have their own mind. They are the very ones that work in deception. When you practice to deceive, the ending of an anything is total destruction. You can only control what is allowed through complete submission. You can influence people to do more or you can influence people to do less. It’s all up to your standard of living. Who you are today says a lot about the decisions you've made. Irrational people make irrational choices. Sensible people make wise use of their time and place more effort toward the assignment than the obvious. When you are on an assignment you are governed by one authority, one rule and one government. There is no democracy in decision making. In decision making, lean not to your own understanding. We have all been called to complete our assignments. Every assignment has classified information only to be revealed at the opportune time of relieving upon the completion.  When you are in the middle of chaos that’s when you know that you're assignment is close to end.

Go

Why am I here? Are questions we tend to ask ourselves when things are not working out as we’ve hoped? But why are we here? Is there a force making us stay or are we forcing ourselves to stay? Why do we allow finances and the opinions of others to delay our moving plans? Taking chances is another way to increase your faith. You must see yourself moving before you actually take the first step. When you believe in you, delayed applications will not hinder your next move. Where you see yourself is where you ought to be. Now the real question is, “How do I get there”. The simplest explanation to the question can be the hardest thing to digest. But the simple truth lies in what you believe in. The image that you see daily is the truth of the matter but we don’t face it. We never own up to what went wrong and we view critiquing as criticism. Critiquing is not based on your reflection but based on your response. You can gain a broader prospective through someone else’s view. The more you know the more you will see where you ought to be. We make things complicated when we double back on wise counsel. Poor judgment never leaves you at a standstill but wallowing does. If you continue to be a monument then you’ll see peoples faces, places and opportunities pass you by while you’re contemplating your next move.

“Go if the opportunity exist, Stay if the opportunity presents itself, you’ll never know if you never increase your faith”

Unbreakable, Unbendable, Unshaken

When we think about a house we tend to think about a place in which we live. Our mortal bodies takes a form of a house. A house is a place that we live in but it is also a place that we must continue to repair. In the form of relationships, we entrust our homes to easily in the cares of others because we're more concerned with entertaining and occupying our homes with guest. Relationships must have a common bond. Whatever the bond is will prove to be the foundation of the relationship. You have to be careful in your choosing. Foundations must be solidified with a raw material that sets the house in order. If your house is not in order its in disarray. Careful planning must go into preparation before the house foundation is set. When we do not inquire of a persons foundation we open ourselves up to fall. Once the foundation of the home is set and its joined together with another foundation. Then the two are in agreement. Foundations are a major part of our decision making. Foundations are a vital instrument used to build. If the house is shaken and the foundation is set incorrectly, it will fall at the hands of the builders. Experience can not be your guide when building. The setting of the foundation will require a raw material that is unbreakable, unbendable and unshaken. When a foundation is laid on a"Rock" the home is sturdy. And it's able to withstand the floods.

Call and Plan

What makes us great will not necessarily outline our purpose. Life is full tasks, missions, and strategies that are geared toward fulfilling our purpose, but never allows us to understand “The Purpose”. When we arrive at the conclusion we gain full knowledge of what we are capable of, even when were faced with difficulty. Purposeful people never allow themselves to stay off course for too long. And they never get caught up in what people say about them that makes them great. They are the ones who will leave an indubitable impression.  Legendary people leave legacies.  We tend to miss out on our call and plan because we tend to focus our sights on the things below rather than the things above. We are a people filled with many traits and God given abilities that make us master in our own right. Mastering an ability in order to be great is a feat and a challenge, but mastering many takes ingenuity. In the Word it says, "We are called accordingly to His riches and His glory". If we are a called people and are called accordingly to one purpose does it mean that we can only be great in one area? Many are called and the chosen will be few since there is only a few of us that want to be legacy driven. A legend acts according to the call and plan that is set to fulfill “The Purpose”. If we deviate from the call and plan then greatness doesn't get achieved and the purpose becomes unfulfilled. Lack is an area of confusion. People lack because of what they don’t want to know. Many will fail to understand but there will be those who never give up. Giving up will never be an option when you are called according to the plan.

Not you than who?

Today's generation is lost in today's system. The system that teaches them that waiting is not worth it, if you can have everything now. We are beyond the microwave generation. We are facing a generation that exploits and expects results in such aways that is producing an appetite for desires that are beyond imagination. This desire has our generation rebelling and looking for substitutions in substances, materials and physical means that have only short term effects. And the sad thing is that they have no clue what they are doing to themselves. The detrimental effects of these choices are going to produce negative results throughout their lifetime. At this very moment I am asking myself what can be done? We've heard in times past in order to teach one you have to reach one. But if you are too caught up with yourself then you'll miss the opportunity to be the one who could possibly change someone's life. They need us more now than ever and I urge you today to look beyond yourself and reach out to someone who needs someone like you in there lives. If not you than who?

Will of a Whale

There was no excuse for Jonah to run away from doing the will of God. He ran not out of fear but because he thought what he wanted to not do was more important than rescuing the people who needed to know God more. The people actually needed to see a physical manifestation of God’s word through his works. Jonah was a living work of God’s word. It wasn't just his dramatic rescue from being spewed out of the whale’s belly that made Jonah renowned. It was the fact that Jonah was called before he fled.  How often do we run with no though of turning back? How often do we see our own needs before we look to lend a hand to someone else? We are favored people by God, whose call is to proceed to action without hesitation. Within hesitation becomes frustration. Nothing will work out until we (you) (me) get our will of a whale out the way. Jonah’s will became his whale. His will was enlarged by what he thought was right. If I never learn anything else from today, I've learned that my will of a whale must die in order to gain passage into the Kingdom of God. If (we) I stop now we will become endangered species to a generation in need of the message that we have to bring. I salute all that desires to know God intimately. This is a place where we will understand that God’s will, is what we really want.

"Thy will will be done on Earth"

Graduation Day

There is nothing like being set apart from the crowd to do something extraordinary. To be the one person chosen out of many to excel to another level of achievement. The feeling that you can get from such an accomplishment can only be felt from a person who has sacrificed part of their lives to reach such a goal. In order to see opportunity one must blind themselves from the outside world. You have to disciple yourself everyday to recognize the potential distraction that will hinder your climb. To see what's ahead one has to remain focus. Precautionary measures must be taken with each step. It's a delicate situation that a person can find themselves in. You never know the road ahead but you must prepare for what's to come in order to be satisfied with the decisions and mistakes that will be made. These measures keeps you game focused. Minor set backs has a way to become hazardous if you can't redeem yourself. Mistakes are liabilities but when your future is insured it turns out favorable. The greatest obstacles that stand in the way are the bumps in the road. When you persevere through the hard challenges, you tend to appreciate the luxuries that life has to give. True happiness comes from a job well done when you don't take the experiences for granted. The beauty about life is the 360 degree angle. It takes us back around to reflect on our past to ignite our future. Humility is the antidote to life to keep you grounded and to remain. One must recognize that in all achievements that the higher you go the loner the climb will seem. Reaching the top is not a one man's flight many hands do make the work light. For what was once impossible now became possible through what you believed in.

Personal Share:

This past weekend a dear close sister-friend of mine graduated from Law School. What an exciting time we all had to see someone who we all hold dear in our hearts. To walk across an Historic stage to accept an academic achievement reward that will not only open doors but it now places her in History. Overwhelmed with emotion but overjoyed to know that if you press your way, that the way that's made for you will set you on a high pinnacle. She did not forget where she was headed. She planned ahead for this future and she obtained what many fail at. This beauty of nature made in His likeness has set the stage for many. And today Trenika I honor you my sister-friend. With love and admiration. I speak life and that more abundantly for you. God is the wiser of us all and in Him you will see where life unfolds.

Love you dearly
