14 EVERYTHING GOOD BEGAN WITH GOD’S PURPOSE

EVERYTHING GOOD BEGAN WITH GOD’S PURPOSE

When good reverses, it becomes evil. The devil succeeds in creating a pattern of evil with the heart of man who uses the knowledge of God the contrary. By this I mean, if it is good for man to give as ordained, but he takes as not ordained it becomes evil. This became evident with the devil's core mandate (John 10: 10).

The devil is not a physical being. He is a spiritual being operating carnal mindedness and gives more preference to the things of the flesh. He could carry out his enterprise with lustful thoughts. Therefore, he physically manifest not, but his work obviously reveal him through the manifestation of some certain evil characters displayed in our lives.

When we walk not in the spirit, the devil drives our will. This is majorly through negative thoughts of men. Through such thoughts, the devil can take hold of their actions and control the life of such men who had come under his influence manifesting as violence. Nevertheless, one deceptive way of the manifestation of the devil is presenting a form that looks like that of God. With this, the devil subtly and cunningly deceive those led not by the Spirit of God. You can never resist the influence of the devil if your heart you have not yet yielded to God.

The good of God is not in the food our heart desire, but in the Word, our heart needs. It will interest you to know that even in the Word we receives supplies, because when we believe in Him, He will surely supply our needs according to His riches in glory.

God has a purpose for life and everything; both good and evil course began with a purpose. We exist in the dimension of time, but the reality of our existence span beyond the dimension of time. Time in its real sense cannot count without life, as life cannot be lived without love. This is because life without love is evil. Where evil is, death will abound.

Time started counting with the fall of man and it will stop counting with the final rising of man, which Jesus Christ has already set a precedence of the finished foundation. Jesus’ life is the gift of God. The gift of God can only be accessible based on the condition of grace (you must be born again through Jesus Christ).

Based on the finished work of God on the cross, ours is just to build on the reality of what He has done. Building is a function of faith and by faith we can truly key into the fullness of life straight from the throne of grace. With this, we will know that we are no longer in the state of fall.

It is our responsibility to find out what the perfect will of the Lord is and aligns. With this, we will be able to relate in accordance to pattern, which is in alignment the eternal plan of God.

Search through your heart, you will surely discover all you have is fear, frailty and weakness. Nevertheless, the goodness of our weakness when recognized in the light of God and in humility of heart and contriteness of the spirit. When we are submissive to the will of God, we receives strength because in our weaknesses his grace abound to make us strong (Hebrews 11: 24). All that happens through us and in us reflecting signs and wonders is the gift of God. It will interest you to know that this gift is the love, which we have left. Love is missing from our lives.

When you have not the love of God in you, it is a clear indication that you have fallen from grace. It will interest you to know that no matter the manifestation of what you call anointing is only a gift without repentance. We most time think God is on our side when we are far off. When you are off and you still think, God is using you. Pride goes before a fall and before honor is humility. God opposes the proud and give grace to the humble (James 4: 6). God does not work with people who are full of passion; He works with people who are full of compassion. Compassion can move you to respond to situations and circumstances of people.

When your worship rise as sweet perfume even as you pour your love on Him, God will empty Himself fully into you, such that whatever comes out of you, will reach the heart of men with the authority and unrestricted power of the Holy Spirit.

God is the giver and all He gives is contained in His Spirit, He is the owner, we are not. He is the giver who gives in accordance to our measure of faith. The manifestation of the gift of God in you first comes to drive fear. Fear opposes faith. When you are without fear, it simply implies you are in faith. It is your faith in God that will ignite your passion to be compassionate and instill boldness to confront situations that are so hard and haphazard against your progress in life. The good purpose of God for you to go through is to teach you total dependence. The truth is you can never be good enough for the world. Whatever you are going through when you have resolved to do the right thing is a clear indication that the devil has strongly influence the operating system of every system.

The boldness you experience when you know God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of power and love and sound mind (2 Timothy 1: 7) activates His life in you flowing out unrestrictedly. This is because God's life cannot flow out in fear. Once the life of God flows, it is unstoppable. Therefore, the power of God made manifest when fear suppresses and fear can only suppress with faith. Then, sound mind replaces timidity, as love releases the drive of compassion, pushing us to act in the direction of God's command.

When you walk in the love of God, you have signs and wonders following you. Sometimes without your knowledge, God work miracles through you. This is the purpose of God for us. There is a part of God's great release and that part is now missing in our lives. The part got missing in us because we left the path. God is love and with us, His life in us will remain dormant if we do not live in love. What evolves us to the fullness of God’s nature is love. We are evolving to releasing the life of true love to the world to cancel wars and restore peace.

Love rules over evil. God expects us to love one another, and without love, our worship can never ever be true. By strength, shall no man prevail? Yes, but by love, you are unstoppable.
