THE POWER OF RELATIONSHIP

Going back memory lane sometimes is good for reflection and readjustment to be on same page with God as regards the PROCEEDING word from His mouth.

January 9 "But when he came to his senses, he said" Luke 15:17
Money Muddles
Came to his senses - The story of the prodigal son. We need to know the literal wording here in order to really see the picture. It is "to himself he came" (eis eauton elthon). This is a place that each of us must visit if we are to be useful to God. Paradoxically, even though it's wherever we are, it is quite a long way away.
The Biblical insight about the necessity of this visit can be seen throughout Scripture. Moses could not be used by God when he had not yet "come to himself". He spent forty years on the road to himself in order to experience brokenness. Along the way, he had to lose it all before God could use what was left (nothing).
Paul's religious zeal and passion kept him from connecting with himself. Until he became blind to his ambition, he was useless to God.
In the story of the rich man and Lazarus, there is no discussion of wickedness or sin, but the rich man still goes to hell. The story focuses on the rich man's life of disconnection with himself. When he dies, he is still disconnected. The rich man could have been a good person, but he could not see the need and the suffering right at his front door. His insensitivity was evidence that he had not connected.
The fundamental evidence of arrival at "coming to myself" is my identification with others. This is why Jesus could say that his followers would be known as those who "love one another".
More than any other tangible thing, money is the disconnecting agent. It keeps me from understanding who I am. Why? Because money muddles my mind. It makes me think that I have ability, strength, protection and power. It disrupts the truth of God's ordered universe. It prevents me from seeing that in my own strength, I can't handle living.
Coming to myself leads to me to "what would you have me to do Lord?" Until I arrive there, I cannot be launched into God's plan. But once I arrive at this distance shore next door, I am set free to experience God's power and direction. I just have to come to myself each day to be reminded that I don't live with the pigs anymore.

EVERY LIFE MADE WITH A VACUUM

Life to a lot of people remains a mystery, it will surely be so until an understanding is gotten of what LIFE is really all about.
At creation, a vacuum was left to be filled by each person with your choice, if you put the wrong thing there, then the journey may end up in circles; but if you made the right choice, then meaning can be found in LIFE.

A lot of the time, activity is what we always choose to put in that vacuum. If anyone made such a choice then confusion is the outcome, rather what is needed in that vacuum is a PERSON.
 Until the right person is chosen the very first step in the life's journey to SUCCESS is a wrong step.
 Life is systemic, even natuer reveals this. In the next post we'll be introduced to the PERSON I'm talking about.

GOOD LIFE NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome on board the good life. The good thing about this type of life is that it is meant for the NOW, and not tomorrow. HOPE can be very powerful, particularly when it is for something good, and we should all learn to hope for something good.

The challenging part of the story is that, it is not meant to be perpetual, I mean HOPE; but when one starts getting wearied because of too long in waiting; then something definitely is missing somewhere.

Concept is the soul of any idea, and you know IDEAS move the world, e.g the INTERNET, the more reason why we should aspire to get the concept of ideas we are trying to push right from the onset. Concept that is wrong from the beginning is a tragedy; the idea becomes a dead one on arrival.

You will be fed with well proven concepts for living the good life, I mean the TOTAL LIFE on these web pages. Issues like:
 PURPOSE FOR LIVING and how you can lay hand on the one for yours.
VISION and MISSION statements, that will serve as compass for your life journey.
EMPOWERMENT tools that will serve as hands-on-tool for the area that suites your chemistry.
LEADERSHIP SKILLS; the software for the TOTAL LIFE we are talking about.

Stay with me on this journey that promises some excitement all the way. I know a lot of people are so rough-handled by life that all they are seeking for is the magic wand that will catapult them to their dream land; amazingly there is NO such magic wand,even though I agree that there is A PROMISE LAND.

In the next couple of days, we'll be sharing so much from each other that nobody will ever believe such opportunities for EXCELLENCE in life exists.
