00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.300
I am a wife
00:02:03.600 --> 00:02:05.500
to my awesome husband
00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:07.720
a mom
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:08.700
to my sweet
00:02:09.899 --> 00:02:10.080
baby
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:12.060
my sweet baby girl
00:02:13.959 --> 00:02:14.560
and
00:02:15.920 --> 00:02:17.540
by the special grace of God
00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:19.620
I would say that God
00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:21.600
has blessed me with lots of talent
00:02:21.980 --> 00:02:22.700
and do
00:02:24.019 --> 00:02:25.480
a myriad of things
00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:27.320
but I currently
00:02:27.630 --> 00:02:29.139
run my photography business
00:02:30.220 --> 00:02:38.340
I work, I sing with my husband, we do ministry, but in church and, you know, as God will have us do it.
00:02:38.500 --> 00:02:40.740
So, yeah, that's a quick introduction of myself.
00:02:40.960 --> 00:02:45.200
Yeah, in case, I'm just going to see what I said last episode.
00:02:45.820 --> 00:02:48.920
So, in case you know me and you have like my WhatsApp number,
00:02:49.480 --> 00:02:53.560
you see that there's this very cute little baby girl that I always, always post on my status.
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:54.860
This is her mom.
00:02:55.460 --> 00:02:56.800
So, this is Zoe's mom.
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:03.340
So, yeah. And like I said, the topic is really, I feel like you're just very like the perfect fit for the topic.
00:03:03.470 --> 00:03:06.580
Because like you said, you have so many things that you are doing.
00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:15.580
And, you know, having the grace to still align all of those things with the purpose of what God has called you to do is like the core of everything.
00:03:15.930 --> 00:03:19.640
Right. So I feel like that's just the topic is just like, yeah, I swear you that.
00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:22.460
OK, come on, just talk about it.
00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:28.740
about it and yes she's always skilled in so many things so many things so many so many things she
00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:34.660
has a photography business she also drums in the church and she has an amazing voice you know yeah
00:03:34.780 --> 00:03:39.480
she's just very very skilled and that's why i said the topic is basically something i know that she
00:03:39.620 --> 00:03:46.600
would have an opinion about or speak more about so yeah just so we don't waste any time let's just go
00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:53.600
straight into it but before that we would like to want to know you better just you know have a little
00:03:53.740 --> 00:04:00.380
more idea of what you how you think like before we know so we can predict some of the answers or
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.820
probably just understand the point of view better so yeah i would ask that what is your favorite
00:04:06.040 --> 00:04:14.880
bible verse in this season and why is it the favorite verse i think one um bible verse that
00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:21.840
stood out to me in like many seasons of my life is one I'm going to talk about.
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:22.180
Yeah.
00:04:22.220 --> 00:04:25.500
I'm going to be in, which is great.
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.260
It's in Psalm 113 verse 7.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.260
And it says,
00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:37.800
He raised up the poor out of the dust and lifted the needy out of the dumbed ill.
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.920
And I just love this scripture because, you know,
00:04:41.020 --> 00:04:45.760
When the Bible talks about God raising someone, raising the poor,
00:04:45.900 --> 00:04:47.300
we're not just talking about money.
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.240
Someone that is poor is someone that doesn't have something.
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:58.220
When the person is without, whatever that thing we're talking about is.
00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:01.740
So this scripture blesses my heart so much
00:05:03.320 --> 00:05:06.260
because it makes me to understand by revelation
00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:10.280
that God can raise anybody out of anywhere.
00:05:11.259 --> 00:05:12.040
exalt them
00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:13.660
and in fact there's another
00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:15.820
maybe another translation or maybe
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:17.900
because this scripture I think is you're preaching the bible
00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:19.880
like another time before someone
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:20.720
or something like that
00:05:21.500 --> 00:05:22.880
and it says that it makes
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.720
that person to sit
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:26.660
a whole case
00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:30.280
people in high places
00:05:31.100 --> 00:05:31.400
and
00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:33.920
I mean I'm not
00:05:34.020 --> 00:05:35.900
where I know God is taking me to eventually
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.040
but I know that God has taken me out
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.959
of my lowly estates
00:05:40.520 --> 00:05:47.460
a thousand times and again so this scripture blesses my heart a lot when i look at all the
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:54.720
journey the entire journey of my life so far i see that only god could have raised me could have
00:05:54.980 --> 00:06:01.360
brought me out and that stems even from from salvation and every other journey that i've gone
00:06:01.470 --> 00:06:06.999
through yeah um i'm sure you know a little bit of my story sometimes you know there are many seasons
00:06:07.020 --> 00:06:08.760
I've waited. I mean, a lot of people
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.000
wait. Even in my seasons
00:06:11.090 --> 00:06:13.020
of waiting and how God just brings
00:06:13.260 --> 00:06:13.720
me out.
00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:17.140
That's
00:06:17.140 --> 00:06:18.860
one of the reasons why the scripture
00:06:18.930 --> 00:06:20.180
is very dear to my heart.
00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:23.020
It just takes me on that.
00:06:23.510 --> 00:06:24.340
It just brings
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.960
my old journey right before my
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:27.920
eyes all over again.
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.460
I'm just thankful to God.
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:31.960
That's very beautiful.
00:06:32.690 --> 00:06:34.740
I feel like the scripture wouldn't be
00:06:34.750 --> 00:06:36.220
for maybe this season alone.
00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:45.920
has been ongoing yeah which is so beautiful yeah that's so amazing god is good and i just really
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:50.300
hope that this will not be like i hope that next time maybe you would have a conversation like this
00:06:50.300 --> 00:06:55.400
with somebody you would still reflect on that bible verse and to say oh my gosh something else
00:06:55.620 --> 00:07:01.099
that's happened again and i'm like oh god because you know god is amazing and it's just beautiful
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:09.480
to see the things that you do and yeah you just can't you can't even god is just yeah thank you
00:07:09.640 --> 00:07:16.300
so much i mean i don't there's nothing that anyone has that that god did not give everything we have
00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:23.280
we are received by the grace of god so yeah i found that i just somehow talents talking about
00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:31.080
the drumming thing my brother drums but i mean he never sat me down to teach me so it was
00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:38.600
more of like just something that came to me naturally and then over time when I found that
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:46.360
I needed it recently I eroded it and you're doing so good oh my god you guys have to see
00:07:46.940 --> 00:07:54.440
it's so nice it's so beautiful thank you thank you yeah okay so let's go to the question for the
00:07:54.520 --> 00:08:01.060
topic for today like we said the topic is aligning in purpose so I would ask if you would if you have
00:08:01.060 --> 00:08:08.840
to that so what would it mean for somebody to align in purpose oh that's a good question um
00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:18.420
i listened to i watched the episode from last week the last month and and um our our guest
00:08:18.860 --> 00:08:24.700
praise i think she did a very good um justice to talking about purpose finding purpose and all of
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.000
So I'm not going to go back into that.
00:08:28.140 --> 00:08:33.219
Just go straight into aligning in purpose.
00:08:34.580 --> 00:08:37.460
So now I'm going to start with breaking it down.
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.020
There's the word aligning and then there's purpose.
00:08:40.740 --> 00:08:48.760
I like to see purpose as God's will, as an assignment, the reason for which it created us.
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:50.560
I mean, what's the purpose of anything?
00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:51.700
What would that thing do?
00:08:52.260 --> 00:08:53.540
What would that thing achieve?
00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:55.580
What is its usefulness?
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.020
So purpose will be what God has called us to do, an assignment,
00:09:01.710 --> 00:09:05.380
whether at a particular point in time or the big assignment,
00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:07.980
talking about the big picture of why God created us.
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.540
Because the scripture says in Jeremiah now,
00:09:13.870 --> 00:09:18.180
that before he created us in our mother's womb, he already knew us.
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.340
So there was a reason why God created each and every one of us.
00:09:21.880 --> 00:09:23.900
And that's purpose that we're talking about.
00:09:24.340 --> 00:09:26.500
Now, aligning in purpose.
00:09:29.300 --> 00:09:32.780
Very importantly, I want to emphasize on the God factor where we're talking about purpose.
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:34.620
So we want to talk about alignment.
00:09:34.900 --> 00:09:40.900
Alignment would be being in sync, being in the same direction,
00:09:41.300 --> 00:09:45.320
would be agreeing, would be working hand in hand,
00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:52.140
will be understanding, agreeing, taking shape.
00:09:53.050 --> 00:09:56.460
Yeah, so aligning in purpose will be agreeing,
00:09:57.820 --> 00:10:02.200
being in line with God, with what God wants of us.
00:10:02.880 --> 00:10:08.380
Aligning in purpose is agreeing to what God requires of us,
00:10:09.050 --> 00:10:09.760
to God's will.
00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:13.180
You know, I've heard, in fact, by experience,
00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:22.440
I would say that sometimes when God is asking something of us, it can be really tough.
00:10:23.630 --> 00:10:29.060
And that's going by our human mind or we're trying to do it by our strength
00:10:29.750 --> 00:10:31.520
or we're trying to be calculative.
00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:33.780
So it can be challenging.
00:10:34.900 --> 00:10:40.980
But when we rely solely on God, and that's where the alignment comes in,
00:10:41.380 --> 00:10:46.680
When we rely solely on God, when we understand that He has the manual of our life in His hands,
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:52.680
and He has good and perfect plans for us, then we would never go wrong.
00:10:52.710 --> 00:10:53.740
It becomes easy.
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.460
It's just God breaking us down.
00:10:56.640 --> 00:10:58.620
It's just God working on our hearts.
00:10:58.740 --> 00:11:03.660
It's just God showing us that His plans and His will will always be better for us.
00:11:03.800 --> 00:11:07.760
So aligning in purpose is surrendering to God.
00:11:08.700 --> 00:11:15.740
letting go of ourselves, of our ideas, our ideologies, our plans.
00:11:16.400 --> 00:11:17.680
Some people have life plans.
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.780
Oh, this is how my life must look like.
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.220
By this age, I want to be this.
00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:24.800
By this age, I want to be that.
00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:28.180
But God is saying no.
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:30.240
That's not what I'm saying.
00:11:30.860 --> 00:11:32.080
That's not what I'm going for.
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:33.760
That is not my plan.
00:11:34.220 --> 00:11:41.080
Now, it's time for such a person to say, okay, hands off.
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:42.680
I let go.
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:44.980
Show me, Lord.
00:11:45.660 --> 00:11:46.460
I humble myself.
00:11:46.590 --> 00:11:47.620
I surrender myself.
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:50.280
I want to align.
00:11:50.410 --> 00:11:51.320
I want to agree.
00:11:51.430 --> 00:11:52.420
I want to obey.
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.520
So, yeah, that's the way I would look at aligning in purpose.
00:11:57.339 --> 00:11:57.860
Obedience.
00:11:57.980 --> 00:11:59.640
Just in terms of definition.
00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:06.680
Yeah, I think that's a good way to just lay basics for it for any layman to understand.
00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:10.600
It's just basically like, oh, God says this and you are obedient.
00:12:10.640 --> 00:12:16.220
Like, obedience will be a very, you know, a key or a synonym to that alignment.
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:17.960
Like, oh, this is it.
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.820
Obedience will just be the perfect one, which I think is very important.
00:12:21.340 --> 00:12:28.880
You said something about purpose to say that it might be something that happens for a short period of time.
00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:32.180
I think something that we have always known about purpose,
00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:34.580
actually like something I have heard about purpose,
00:12:35.060 --> 00:12:37.100
is really like, oh, it's a long time thing.
00:12:37.260 --> 00:12:40.240
So if God says, God wants you to be a minister,
00:12:40.760 --> 00:12:44.020
it's usually like, oh, be a minister now till you die.
00:12:44.420 --> 00:12:50.760
I don't think anybody has actually spoken about the fact that it could be for a season.
00:12:51.520 --> 00:12:53.820
And that's when alignment also comes in to say,
00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:57.280
some people might not know that that purpose is just for a season,
00:12:57.400 --> 00:13:00.420
but because they have the mentality to say purpose is lifetime.
00:13:01.160 --> 00:13:03.780
After a God has completed a section of their life,
00:13:03.780 --> 00:13:05.740
they still keep doing those things,
00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:08.820
which makes them no longer aligning in purpose.
00:13:09.400 --> 00:13:14.220
So I wanted to kind of elaborate on the fact that it could just be for two days
00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:15.860
and that's all that you do.
00:13:16.300 --> 00:13:18.200
Okay, I think I'd like to take it from you.
00:13:18.380 --> 00:13:20.780
That scripture that says that he that is faithful in little
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:23.980
is definitely going to be faithful in much.
00:13:24.660 --> 00:13:35.260
Now, before God commits a very big thing into anybody's hands, just like any human will probably do, like you want to give somebody a project, you probably want them to get on the little things first, right?
00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:40.920
So, either is faithful in little, will definitely be faithful in much.
00:13:41.660 --> 00:13:49.640
So, if God is saying do this, and you are doing it precepts of what precepts, and God is saying that this person is getting ready for that big thing,
00:13:50.780 --> 00:13:56.120
I would say that there are two different ways that we can look at the dimensions of fulfilling purpose.
00:13:57.500 --> 00:14:01.760
Now, even if God says, oh, this person is going to be a minister of the world,
00:14:02.420 --> 00:14:06.800
is going to break chains, I'm sending into nations of the world,
00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:09.720
it's not going to happen the moment they're born.
00:14:10.640 --> 00:14:13.760
It's not even going to happen the first few years of their life
00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:18.240
because God is doing something, is working, it's a process.
00:14:18.520 --> 00:14:23.160
He's working, first of all, upon such an individual before he gets to that big stage.
00:14:23.400 --> 00:14:33.700
So I think we should first of all get rid of the myth that purpose is one very big assignment
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.360
or one destination that we are going to.
00:14:38.400 --> 00:14:41.720
Now, God has created every one of us to glorify him.
00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:43.080
That's our number one purpose.
00:14:43.230 --> 00:14:47.560
And it doesn't even matter what assignment you're going to have or not.
00:14:47.800 --> 00:14:50.640
God has created us as his workmanship to give him glory.
00:14:50.920 --> 00:14:59.080
So that is the big, the biggest assignment that we have as Christians is to give glory and praise back to God.
00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:04.740
Now, back to what I was saying about, oh, if God says you're going to become a minister, you're not going to become that thing in the very day.
00:15:05.700 --> 00:15:06.740
So there is a big picture.
00:15:06.850 --> 00:15:08.440
I know that, oh, God is taking me there.
00:15:08.870 --> 00:15:10.560
God is taking me to this particular place.
00:15:10.770 --> 00:15:14.100
Oh, that's the reason why God created me.
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:18.280
But I can tell you that that is not all the reason why God created you.
00:15:18.900 --> 00:15:22.740
Because God has put us in this part of life on earth for a reason.
00:15:23.060 --> 00:15:23.940
You're surrounded by people.
00:15:24.300 --> 00:15:25.340
You're surrounded by your family.
00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:27.120
You're surrounded by people in your school.
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:28.540
You're surrounded by people in your office.
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.360
And you will definitely be something to every one of them.
00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:32.980
Yes.
00:15:33.680 --> 00:15:36.180
You will definitely be something to every one of them.
00:15:36.300 --> 00:15:42.040
I'm saying all this just to, you know, make it look practical and to help us visualize it.
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:47.900
Every pastor is probably a husband or a wife, is a father.
00:15:48.370 --> 00:15:49.580
God blesses them with children.
00:15:50.190 --> 00:15:51.500
They are colleagues at work.
00:15:52.260 --> 00:15:53.800
They are uncles.
00:15:54.580 --> 00:15:55.320
They are aunties.
00:15:55.450 --> 00:15:58.380
You know, just to make it look real, what we're talking about.
00:15:58.660 --> 00:16:03.680
And every single thing that God has put us to do is as important as the big one.
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:04.140
Yes.
00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:05.980
That's something, yeah.
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:07.260
It's as important as.
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.380
And that's why, I hope I'm not talking too much.
00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:15.960
And that's why, you know, we've heard stories of pastors.
00:16:17.780 --> 00:16:24.280
I'm not picking up pastors, but you know, we've heard stories of pastors that, oh, they're all about their ministry, but they're failing at home.
00:16:24.560 --> 00:16:26.140
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot.
00:16:26.380 --> 00:16:30.140
Yeah, you've heard about, let me talk about youth.
00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:31.420
I'm on fire for God.
00:16:31.420 --> 00:16:32.600
I'm the prayer coordinator.
00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:34.600
I'm the president in my fellowship.
00:16:35.370 --> 00:16:39.620
But they are not even close to the mark at home.
00:16:39.760 --> 00:16:45.020
Like you go to their schools, their place of work, and nobody can even say that they are children of God.
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.080
So there's a big picture.
00:16:48.380 --> 00:16:49.120
There's a big thing.
00:16:49.300 --> 00:16:49.900
There's a big purpose.
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:51.000
There's a big stage.
00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:54.260
But then there's the smaller things.
00:16:55.380 --> 00:17:04.600
And that's where the answer to your question for me will be is that purpose is not a destination.
00:17:04.730 --> 00:17:05.980
It can be for a season.
00:17:07.760 --> 00:17:09.920
God wants you to achieve this particular thing.
00:17:10.420 --> 00:17:12.699
Talk about God bringing you to a city.
00:17:13.280 --> 00:17:15.260
You're just going to be in that city for two months.
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.480
And you probably will never go back to that place for the rest of your life.
00:17:20.569 --> 00:17:21.959
And then you move on to another city.
00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:26.040
And like I said, everywhere that God places our foot,
00:17:26.520 --> 00:17:28.260
every environment that God places us,
00:17:28.860 --> 00:17:30.340
He wants us to do something there.
00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:33.180
Sometimes we're not even talking to people.
00:17:33.360 --> 00:17:35.820
They're just looking at us and they're being blessed.
00:17:35.940 --> 00:17:37.080
and that's purpose.
00:17:38.820 --> 00:17:40.560
So, and that's the reason why
00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:42.760
I'm going to digress a bit.
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:43.860
And that's the reason why
00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:46.740
I think some people struggle
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:47.300
and they say,
00:17:47.320 --> 00:17:48.840
oh, I don't know what my purpose is
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:49.480
because they don't know
00:17:49.560 --> 00:17:50.460
what the big thing.
00:17:51.180 --> 00:17:51.500
Yes.
00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:52.160
They're like,
00:17:52.340 --> 00:17:53.620
I don't know what my purpose is.
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:55.600
I don't know why God created me.
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:56.240
No.
00:17:57.520 --> 00:17:59.860
As long as you are here on earth,
00:18:01.560 --> 00:18:02.920
as long as you are in an habitat,
00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:03.980
you are in a place,
00:18:04.080 --> 00:18:05.000
you are in an environment,
00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:07.840
you're in an area, God has put you there for something.
00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:08.380
Yeah.
00:18:08.800 --> 00:18:10.220
And we're talking purpose already.
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:11.620
Like, it's that simple.
00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:13.280
Yeah, that's true.
00:18:13.320 --> 00:18:15.880
And so somebody will say, I don't know why God created me.
00:18:16.020 --> 00:18:17.360
I'm still trying to discover purpose.
00:18:18.020 --> 00:18:18.520
Guess what?
00:18:19.040 --> 00:18:21.800
People that are 60, they are still discovering new purposes.
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:24.580
People that are 70, they are still...
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:28.960
And that's why you find a 60-year-old person that is going back to school.
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:31.460
And they are actually achieving it.
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:32.840
Yeah.
00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:39.300
So just to answer your question, purpose is not always the biggest thing.
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:41.740
It can be just for a season.
00:18:42.560 --> 00:18:45.600
Maybe God is just taking me through this land because he wants me to bless somebody.
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:51.800
God is just putting me in this place of work because there's somebody that needs to meet with me
00:18:52.560 --> 00:18:54.420
and hear some words of life from me.
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.040
Yeah, so I hope that answers.
00:18:59.080 --> 00:19:01.520
Yes, that answered it for sure.
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:07.900
to say that purpose is not i feel like yeah what you said is very important that those little places
00:19:08.080 --> 00:19:13.680
that we are placed in as a young maybe a young teenager that is like oh what's my purpose you
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:18.560
are an elder sister to your siblings it starts from there you have to be a good daughter to your
00:19:18.860 --> 00:19:24.520
parents it starts from there so those little things if we don't ignore them because like you said i've
00:19:24.580 --> 00:19:29.779
seen people that don't prioritize that part of their life and they're prioritizing the one that
00:19:29.800 --> 00:19:34.820
they're saying God called them for it and then neglect those little other things.
00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:41.380
What we know for God for sure is that God is not a man that would now tell you that would leave your parents to come here.
00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:44.420
He's somebody that is a family person.
00:19:44.660 --> 00:19:47.000
He loves those other people.
00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:49.700
You don't let go of them as only you go to the forest.
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:53.100
So I think that's a very good way to answer it.
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:54.700
That's a very nice way to answer it.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:07.380
Just to continue to add to that question, I would say, how then do somebody that has a lot of skills, I would say, because I think the next month is talking about skills and purpose.
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.520
But maybe this was a question I was supposed to ask and I really want to ask you, but it's okay.
00:20:12.020 --> 00:20:13.200
Like skills and purpose.
00:20:13.540 --> 00:20:16.500
People have a lot of things that they like to do.
00:20:17.040 --> 00:20:23.040
How do they balance liking to do a lot of things and moving them with purpose?
00:20:23.860 --> 00:20:30.580
Or like, you know, being involved in so many things and making sure that you are not falling away from purpose.
00:20:31.300 --> 00:20:31.380
Yeah.
00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:32.140
Okay.
00:20:33.120 --> 00:20:38.360
Just like we started with talking about God being the center of our lives.
00:20:39.260 --> 00:20:46.180
And that God that created us has a manual of our life and how he wants it to go.
00:20:48.600 --> 00:20:50.980
Is what I will first point to.
00:20:51.260 --> 00:21:01.900
And that is, before we even talk about somebody being able to align in purpose, like we already said anyways, they have to have a relationship with God.
00:21:04.100 --> 00:21:13.420
And that is one of the ways that their skills or whatever giftings they have and whatever will align with purpose is that they have a relationship with God.
00:21:13.980 --> 00:21:18.100
That communicating with God, God is telling them that, yes, this is it.
00:21:18.300 --> 00:21:18.920
Go for it.
00:21:19.600 --> 00:21:20.440
This is not it.
00:21:20.560 --> 00:21:21.540
This is not part of the plan.
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:22.340
Don't go for it.
00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:25.880
I mean, you cannot be a savior to everybody.
00:21:26.070 --> 00:21:29.660
I know I put you in this environment, but no, I didn't bring you here to save the whole world.
00:21:29.770 --> 00:21:30.940
I didn't bring you here to save everybody.
00:21:31.050 --> 00:21:35.020
I brought you for this at this particular time.
00:21:36.260 --> 00:21:38.720
So, foundationally, God.
00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:42.920
We have to have a relationship with God.
00:21:42.990 --> 00:21:46.420
And when I say relationship with God, I'm talking being a Christian.
00:21:47.140 --> 00:21:48.280
You've given your life to Christ.
00:21:48.630 --> 00:21:51.780
And then you continue to walk out your salvation with fear and trembling.
00:21:52.020 --> 00:21:53.020
Communion with God.
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:54.820
Spending time in worship.
00:21:55.100 --> 00:21:56.020
Spending time in prayer.
00:21:56.260 --> 00:21:58.400
Asking God for the next steps.
00:21:59.100 --> 00:22:00.580
Talking to God from time to time.
00:22:03.340 --> 00:22:09.440
Now, that's another way for us to be able to balance our skills with purpose.
00:22:10.320 --> 00:22:15.540
Is we're asking ourselves, this thing I'm doing, is it glorifying God?
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:20.060
Because that's the center of everything that we are doing.
00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:27.020
Like I said, God has created us as his workmanship to bring him glory, to bring him praise.
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:32.420
All these things I'm doing, are they glorifying God in any way?
00:22:33.300 --> 00:22:35.840
Or am I seeking the approval of men?
00:22:36.800 --> 00:22:40.340
Am I doing this thing because I just want people to know that I'm skilled?
00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:43.900
Oh, somebody will say, but it's God that gave me the skills now.
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:45.460
It doesn't matter.
00:22:46.340 --> 00:22:50.100
even though the skills and the talents and the blessings and the opportunities and everything
00:22:50.190 --> 00:22:54.140
is from God but when you are doing it are we checking you are you checking your hearts
00:22:54.590 --> 00:23:01.300
the state of your hearts what exactly is the motivation behind it is it to bring glory to God
00:23:01.820 --> 00:23:06.580
is it just for fleshly desires is it just to put your name in the mouth of people or to put your
00:23:06.760 --> 00:23:12.559
face in this you know on a pedestal where everybody knows that this person is very talented very gifted
00:23:12.580 --> 00:23:16.040
and that will bring me to the next thing is, is it draining you?
00:23:17.600 --> 00:23:18.660
Are you burning out?
00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:21.460
Like, okay, I'm trying very hard to do all these things
00:23:21.590 --> 00:23:23.860
and I don't think I can keep up.
00:23:25.800 --> 00:23:28.660
God is not a task.
00:23:28.840 --> 00:23:30.500
Is it task force or was it?
00:23:30.580 --> 00:23:31.400
How do you say that thing?
00:23:31.520 --> 00:23:32.320
It's not a wicked God.
00:23:32.330 --> 00:23:33.360
It will not burden us.
00:23:33.410 --> 00:23:36.700
It will not put too much on us that we can bear.
00:23:38.540 --> 00:23:42.500
So, yeah, one person can be skilled and talented in many things.
00:23:42.780 --> 00:23:46.780
But like we said, talking about purpose in different sections and different areas by time.
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:49.600
God, I want you to use this skill at this particular time.
00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:55.100
If I told you that I used to sew, I made money from sewing when I was in Nigeria.
00:23:56.380 --> 00:23:57.600
But now I don't sew anymore.
00:23:57.900 --> 00:23:58.140
Yeah.
00:23:58.760 --> 00:23:59.940
I mean, for the public.
00:24:00.360 --> 00:24:01.320
I don't sew for myself.
00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:02.700
I definitely sew for my daughter.
00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:03.140
Yeah.
00:24:03.820 --> 00:24:09.900
So, I mean, that's another practical example is per time.
00:24:10.100 --> 00:24:13.040
How does it apply to, oh, where I am?
00:24:13.300 --> 00:24:15.980
Is God still allowing me to do this at this particular time?
00:24:16.040 --> 00:24:18.620
Or is he going to imagine me juggling all of that together?
00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:20.060
I don't think I'll be able to cope.
00:24:20.580 --> 00:24:22.180
So, is it draining you?
00:24:23.760 --> 00:24:24.500
Okay, fine.
00:24:25.660 --> 00:24:28.300
Everything I'm doing is to glorify God, but it's still draining me.
00:24:28.360 --> 00:24:29.440
Go back to God.
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:31.660
Go back to God.
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:34.360
before God will say, did I ask you to do it?
00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:36.220
And ask God for it.
00:24:36.300 --> 00:24:39.100
If it's that, God will give you strength to continue doing it.
00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:40.260
He will give you strength.
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:43.440
If he will give you instruction or wisdom and say,
00:24:43.820 --> 00:24:45.440
I think you should park this thing for now.
00:24:46.060 --> 00:24:48.640
Or maybe you should train somebody else to do these things to support you
00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:49.900
or find some kind of help.
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:51.260
Do you know what I mean?
00:24:52.360 --> 00:24:56.380
God will always give us wisdom when we ask for it.
00:24:57.460 --> 00:25:03.480
So that goes to say that we don't have to try to be everything
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:05.000
because we're trying to fulfill purpose.
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:08.960
We have to continually go to God,
00:25:09.800 --> 00:25:11.860
ask Him if we should continue doing it
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.320
and if we should, you know, take a little bit of a break.
00:25:16.080 --> 00:25:17.340
I remember when I had my daughter,
00:25:18.639 --> 00:25:21.020
I was putting myself under a little bit of pressure
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:23.160
because I wanted to go back to my business and all of that.
00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:24.720
Calm down.
00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:26.980
Calm down, don't worry.
00:25:27.700 --> 00:25:33.160
and by the special grace of God when I went back to my business God made a way made things very easy
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:41.060
by the special grace of God I've been doing well so I'm just sharing that as an experience that can
00:25:41.520 --> 00:25:47.180
encourage somebody and say oh so why should I let my life go to waste why should I let my skills go
00:25:47.180 --> 00:25:53.039
to waste because of because sometimes you're trying to do everything and jack of all trades
00:25:53.060 --> 00:26:00.260
master of none so yeah i think that that's a very important aspect to say god is like the one that's
00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:07.140
at the center so no matter how many skills it is that you have if you're not doing them like yeah
00:26:07.260 --> 00:26:13.280
even if you feel like you're doing it to glorify god if you are not called if god has not told you
00:26:13.420 --> 00:26:21.618
to do it it's like you're just wasting the effort and it is too stressful to waste those efforts so
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:26.960
it's just better to really get the guidance for God and that's that point that you said having that
00:26:27.180 --> 00:26:32.080
continuous conversation with God is like the most important thing about our life that there shouldn't
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:38.780
be any step that we are taking without God not knowing or we asking for direction to say oh okay
00:26:39.080 --> 00:26:44.880
now I know that I can dance am I to dance in church choreography should I do that if God says no then
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:49.359
you should pause and something else that I also wanted to our life from what you said is that it
00:26:49.380 --> 00:26:56.980
is okay to take a pause from things if god says stop it is okay nobody like i feel like a lot of
00:26:57.060 --> 00:27:01.440
people care about what people would say i'm like oh i've been in the church i've been i'm the choir
00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:08.420
master i'm the one that's leading everybody now why will i pause if god says stop stop i feel like
00:27:08.420 --> 00:27:15.259
we should try to normalize that yes and not make people feel guilty for stopping things i agree i
00:27:15.280 --> 00:27:17.920
I joined my voice with yours to amplify that statement.
00:27:18.890 --> 00:27:19.000
Yeah.
00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:23.520
Because that's one of the reasons why people burn out.
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:24.080
Yes.
00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:29.880
Because they're like, if I say I want to take a break, how is it going to sound like?
00:27:30.020 --> 00:27:30.720
What do people think?
00:27:30.860 --> 00:27:32.580
Oh, do you think I'm maybe falling into sin?
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:33.320
Yes.
00:27:34.020 --> 00:27:34.680
And all of that.
00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:40.760
But again, sometimes people just feel that way and then they don't take any action.
00:27:41.420 --> 00:27:42.820
And then they feel that people will judge them.
00:27:42.830 --> 00:27:45.020
But they didn't even try in the first place.
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:49.220
But I think it's okay to actually take a break.
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:50.680
Like actually rest.
00:27:50.780 --> 00:27:55.440
Even God rested on the seventh day after he had created Orish Rishio.
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:58.600
After he had created all sorts of things.
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:03.260
And I think it's very notable that God decided to take a break.
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:05.100
And it was recorded in the scripture.
00:28:05.620 --> 00:28:05.820
Yes.
00:28:06.460 --> 00:28:12.000
I mean, I'm not saying that we should become slothful or run away from, you know, whatever we should be doing.
00:28:12.560 --> 00:28:17.960
or what so there has to be a balance just to say just to put that out there there has to be a balance
00:28:18.220 --> 00:28:26.060
but of course if you feel like absolutely like definitely talk to somebody and say please can I
00:28:26.580 --> 00:28:32.460
take a break can I can I pause because sometimes you need to go back draw some energy and
00:28:33.100 --> 00:28:39.399
be rejuvenated and come back so that you're not going out of yeah out of an empty cup yeah and I
00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:44.800
think something else that um that is important is that sometimes god just wants our attention more
00:28:45.080 --> 00:28:48.880
and i think that's the most important thing if god wants your attention more and says
00:28:49.360 --> 00:28:54.120
pause other things i just want you to be with me just go to church and come back home don't join
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:59.480
any uni don't do anything that is my purpose for you now in this season there was this podcast that
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.560
i listened to the shining lights i show i don't know okay i think i've heard i think i've heard
00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:07.579
yeah yeah so i don't i can't remember the name of the woman that came one time and she was like oh
00:29:07.600 --> 00:29:11.720
I think she's like a pastor I can't remember but she's like she's always having programs always
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:16.780
doing things and she said at the point of her life God told her to pause everything and just be at
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:22.580
home and she was like should I start training should I do training in the house like she was you
00:29:22.600 --> 00:29:29.680
know she's used to doing things and when she paused it felt like oh my gosh am I am I did I
00:29:29.800 --> 00:29:35.179
hear God right did I do this thing right it's just to say that sometimes God can actually request that
00:29:35.520 --> 00:29:39.820
we pause everything that we are doing because she said at that moment that god really wanted
00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:47.120
attention more she was giving too much than she was with him like i don't know i'm just paraphrasing
00:29:47.260 --> 00:29:51.380
i'm saying that's exactly that she had said but that's how it sounded like in my ears which is
00:29:51.760 --> 00:29:57.060
very justifiable to say god feels like you are giving too much to the world and he himself is
00:29:57.180 --> 00:30:02.219
having of you it would have you pause all those things just so that you can have that
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:06.760
continue a relationship with you because that's the basics if you don't have that relationship you
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:13.460
can't even share with anybody or give it out to anybody so i think that rest is important and as
00:30:13.600 --> 00:30:18.020
people that are supporting people in life whenever we have somebody that says they need to take a
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:23.300
break let's support them as long as they're doing it according to the will of course not that they're
00:30:23.830 --> 00:30:28.499
just tired and say oh i'm tired but like if they're actually doing it based upon what god has said
00:30:28.520 --> 00:30:34.480
let's not say are you sure don't make them feel like oh it's bad right give them that grace to
00:30:34.560 --> 00:30:39.280
say okay pause i would pray with you and when you're ready to start again we're here to support
00:30:39.370 --> 00:30:44.260
you again i think that's very important um yeah that's very good i think something else that we
00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:54.219
talked about in the one that was not recorded was um if somebody that how should i put this question
00:30:55.280 --> 00:31:01.700
people that have okay in the point of people that have purpose that seems to be
00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:08.020
horse shining and like you know there's people that have that purpose that they are up front that
00:31:08.140 --> 00:31:11.740
people are seeing them because of their purpose that god has called into and there's some people
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:18.240
that their purpose are the silent ones and what advice would you give to i wouldn't say maybe advice
00:31:18.350 --> 00:31:23.219
because somebody that now feels that their own purpose is less oh god nasi ashko man be sweeping
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:24.500
and she's
00:31:25.260 --> 00:31:27.180
this is what she's doing
00:31:27.600 --> 00:31:29.320
you know so how would you address something
00:31:29.320 --> 00:31:30.860
like that if you had to give somebody
00:31:31.220 --> 00:31:32.440
a counsel or something
00:31:32.700 --> 00:31:35.100
I'm gonna take it away from where you talked about
00:31:35.560 --> 00:31:35.800
sweeping
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:38.980
and to be
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:40.700
honest to be fair
00:31:42.300 --> 00:31:42.580
like
00:31:43.500 --> 00:31:45.040
talking about an average human
00:31:45.280 --> 00:31:46.540
that is
00:31:47.060 --> 00:31:48.000
you know
00:31:49.060 --> 00:31:50.819
healthy and happy
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:53.720
and an all-around person,
00:31:54.980 --> 00:31:57.560
you'd find that nobody wants to be in a dirty space.
00:31:57.560 --> 00:31:58.220
Yeah, fair.
00:31:58.860 --> 00:31:59.080
Right?
00:31:59.960 --> 00:32:02.160
So I just gave that example because
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.960
it's as important as,
00:32:09.080 --> 00:32:10.640
like, let's use the church, for example,
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:12.980
the pastor going on stage.
00:32:13.090 --> 00:32:14.100
I know somebody will be like,
00:32:14.300 --> 00:32:16.680
you can't equate the pastor's preaching,
00:32:17.060 --> 00:32:17.900
standing in front of people,
00:32:18.450 --> 00:32:19.720
to somebody that is sleeping.
00:32:21.660 --> 00:32:21.880
true.
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:25.320
The magnitude, the weight of the assignment
00:32:25.510 --> 00:32:26.360
might be different.
00:32:26.690 --> 00:32:28.140
The calling might be different.
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.120
But every single part is important.
00:32:31.330 --> 00:32:32.680
Just like the body of Christ.
00:32:33.740 --> 00:32:34.900
You know, the scripture said it.
00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:38.520
That just as important as the head is,
00:32:39.120 --> 00:32:39.840
the hands,
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:41.260
because, I mean,
00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:43.120
have you ever had
00:32:43.760 --> 00:32:45.760
like a broken bone somewhere in your body before?
00:32:46.580 --> 00:32:48.799
You know, by pain in a particular pattern.
00:32:48.820 --> 00:32:53.460
Yeah, like even some very tiny, I don't know what that thing is called,
00:32:53.760 --> 00:32:56.060
where you have some very severe pain.
00:32:56.080 --> 00:32:57.300
You can't even sleep at night.
00:32:57.780 --> 00:32:58.700
And it's not your head.
00:32:59.100 --> 00:33:01.620
It's probably not your legs that are carrying you to walk.
00:33:02.820 --> 00:33:07.200
Just goes to say that every single part of the body is important, matters,
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:08.440
just like the body of Christ.
00:33:08.620 --> 00:33:12.640
Every single part of the body of Christ put together, they matter.
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.580
I gave that background to say that if you think that your assignment
00:33:17.600 --> 00:33:20.840
or what you are doing looks like it is small.
00:33:21.520 --> 00:33:24.320
That small part, God wants it.
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:26.100
God needs it.
00:33:26.770 --> 00:33:28.060
And that's why he has put you there.
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:30.160
Continue to do what you are doing.
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:36.780
Be happy, be proud, be thankful because it is a privilege.
00:33:37.140 --> 00:33:38.860
We're talking about God's will here.
00:33:38.890 --> 00:33:40.180
We're talking about assignment.
00:33:40.190 --> 00:33:44.180
We're talking about what God has committed into your hands.
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:47.080
We're talking about what God has called you to do.
00:33:47.300 --> 00:33:50.000
I think it's a very big deal because it's a privilege.
00:33:50.260 --> 00:33:50.740
It is.
00:33:51.340 --> 00:33:53.320
So, somebody is not sweeping it.
00:33:54.300 --> 00:33:56.660
If the people that are supposed to sweep the church
00:33:56.760 --> 00:33:59.660
do not sweep for a full month straight,
00:34:00.620 --> 00:34:04.660
somebody will decide to watch from home one of the comments on this.
00:34:05.120 --> 00:34:07.240
Even though they will not try to sweep the floor,
00:34:07.540 --> 00:34:10.679
they will say, ah, the church has been too dirty for some time.
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:13.580
The person that is praying,
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:15.960
what is saying that they are praying,
00:34:17.040 --> 00:34:20.000
they are doing a whole lot in the spiritual realm.
00:34:20.040 --> 00:34:20.700
Yes, yes.
00:34:21.100 --> 00:34:23.139
Which is very, very important.
00:34:24.560 --> 00:34:28.700
So, that assignment that you are doing that you think is not important,
00:34:28.879 --> 00:34:32.480
I think sometimes, you know, there's a saying that goes that
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:35.100
we don't value a thing until we lose it.
00:34:35.270 --> 00:34:35.379
Yeah.
00:34:36.720 --> 00:34:38.740
So, just imagine that those people are not doing those things.
00:34:38.899 --> 00:34:41.460
I think that's when it will make sense that they are very important.
00:34:42.179 --> 00:34:47.139
So my advice to such people is continue to do what you are doing.
00:34:47.940 --> 00:34:49.220
Your focus here is God.
00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:50.620
You know what people are saying.
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:53.720
I know sometimes when people are like, why am I the one that is backstage?
00:34:53.980 --> 00:34:55.520
Why am I not in the limelight?
00:34:55.540 --> 00:34:56.340
Why am I not in the limelight?
00:34:57.220 --> 00:35:01.760
The God that sees in secret, he blesses anyone openly, secretly,
00:35:02.100 --> 00:35:03.380
anyhow he chooses to do it.
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:07.680
And I think that should be the most important thing that we're focusing on is,
00:35:08.600 --> 00:35:10.900
God, I'm doing this thing with the whole of my heart.
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:15.740
diligently to serve God, to fulfill the assignment that He has called me for.
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:17.280
And that's all that matters.
00:35:17.780 --> 00:35:18.220
Yes.
00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:22.560
Anybody that compares himself, Bible says,
00:35:22.720 --> 00:35:26.640
if you compare yourself with another person, you are a fool.
00:35:26.720 --> 00:35:28.060
I didn't say the Bible said it.
00:35:29.820 --> 00:35:32.140
Yeah, because when we talk about comparison,
00:35:32.500 --> 00:35:34.300
what's the scale that we are comparing with?
00:35:35.820 --> 00:35:38.120
What is the metric that we are measuring with?
00:35:38.200 --> 00:35:39.580
What's our basis for measurement?
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:41.220
say oh this person
00:35:42.020 --> 00:35:43.920
in fact sometimes for people that are even on the stage
00:35:44.040 --> 00:35:45.420
they are still begging God that God please
00:35:46.140 --> 00:35:47.160
help my life
00:35:48.060 --> 00:35:49.240
not to remove me like that
00:35:49.580 --> 00:35:51.400
everybody has dealings like
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:53.960
so it doesn't matter who is
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:55.840
who is being seen or who is not
00:35:55.900 --> 00:35:57.740
being seen in fact people that are being seen are praying
00:35:57.840 --> 00:35:59.680
that God please don't let them see me let them see
00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:01.380
only you you know it's
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:03.040
it's just ironic but
00:36:03.540 --> 00:36:05.640
my word to such people is
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:07.160
continue to do what you are doing
00:36:07.720 --> 00:36:14.540
do it do it with all of your heart do it all of your strength do it with all the joy that you can
00:36:14.540 --> 00:36:22.700
do it because you are very important yeah i think that's a very good way to you know explain it to
00:36:22.700 --> 00:36:27.520
say every part of it like you said the example that you gave like the body everything works
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:33.880
together for the good the whole part of the body is like the body of christ so every part of it has
00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:41.080
to be filled for it to function properly so for you to be part of that body is a privilege because
00:36:41.200 --> 00:36:47.380
you are helping the old body function properly so i think if you start seeing it in that light of that
00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:53.020
it's not that oh i'm doing the less one i'm also part of the body the kidney or the lungs cannot say
00:36:53.220 --> 00:36:58.920
okay i'm not doing anything today like it's also part of the body so they are all valued even the
00:36:58.940 --> 00:37:04.420
toe the fingers that everybody is valued in the old body nobody's yeah you don't talk about the
00:37:04.500 --> 00:37:09.300
body even if they have individual names everybody's to say oh my i'm feeling okay like you know the
00:37:09.420 --> 00:37:15.200
old body is working properly so i think it's a privilege to even be part of the body of christ
00:37:15.620 --> 00:37:20.340
as i like you said because i know there are some people that are outside they don't even have a
00:37:20.600 --> 00:37:26.140
knowledge of god and that baffles me a lot to say some people don't even know that this is what god
00:37:26.160 --> 00:37:32.180
can do and it's scary because we we have that privilege and sometimes we just want to misuse it
00:37:32.500 --> 00:37:37.000
so people don't know that somebody can heal them yeah sick and they don't know that it's healing from
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:43.000
a supernatural being they don't know that they can walk again so you don't know so the grace that we
00:37:43.160 --> 00:37:49.720
have that privilege that we know a man that can do all things and that man has called us to not do
00:37:49.740 --> 00:37:56.120
something then you're not like oh i'm not going to do this on me i want that one who are you
00:37:57.060 --> 00:38:03.300
who are you i think when we start to see it in that light it makes us even more thankful
00:38:04.040 --> 00:38:10.400
that thank you jesus that i'm doing something for you it's a privilege to do something yeah that's
00:38:10.560 --> 00:38:15.260
solid perspective yeah you know i was just thinking about sometimes it's just about the
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:21.820
perspective i was reading something um a couple of weeks ago about somebody saying how about you
00:38:22.020 --> 00:38:28.300
change the way you approach some particular things like for example you're like um i'm so tired and
00:38:28.500 --> 00:38:35.220
exhausted about this job you know um i see this thing a lot on the internet where someone's saying
00:38:35.740 --> 00:38:43.400
um me going to the job i prayed i fasted for looking sad i'm like no anyways i don't want to
00:38:43.420 --> 00:38:44.700
I don't want to go into that.
00:38:44.740 --> 00:38:50.000
But talking about perspective, it's like, oh, I'm exhausted from this job or from this life.
00:38:50.160 --> 00:38:52.980
How about you say, oh, God, I'm thankful for this privilege.
00:38:54.460 --> 00:38:56.880
So it's more of perspective.
00:38:57.060 --> 00:39:01.880
And honestly, two people can make those different statements.
00:39:02.120 --> 00:39:03.560
And they're actually trying to say the same thing.
00:39:03.660 --> 00:39:09.320
They're both exhausted, but they're like, oh, God, I'm exhausted, but I'm thankful at least for this privilege.
00:39:10.060 --> 00:39:13.700
that I can't even do this job that is bringing money in,
00:39:13.860 --> 00:39:16.100
that is taking care of me, taking care of my family.
00:39:17.160 --> 00:39:18.220
I'm tired, I'm exhausted.
00:39:18.300 --> 00:39:22.160
Lord, I need your strength, but I'm just thankful for this privilege.
00:39:22.340 --> 00:39:25.660
So it's a whole lot about perspective.
00:39:27.140 --> 00:39:29.220
Look at Jesus when he was about to be crucified.
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:34.740
He was like, Lord, I just wish that you would take this cup away from me.
00:39:35.680 --> 00:39:39.320
I can't imagine the way Jesus Christ was feeling at that point.
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:44.020
Because this man knew the reason why he came is God.
00:39:45.420 --> 00:39:47.860
Like this man is actually God.
00:39:48.940 --> 00:39:50.960
And he knew that the only reason why I'm here,
00:39:51.240 --> 00:39:53.160
I was born in a manger.
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:54.140
I came as a baby.
00:39:54.160 --> 00:39:55.160
I didn't come as a old person.
00:39:55.220 --> 00:39:56.060
I came as a baby.
00:39:56.540 --> 00:39:56.920
I grew.
00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:58.480
My father was a carpenter.
00:39:59.020 --> 00:40:00.120
I went to the synagogue.
00:40:00.660 --> 00:40:01.460
I did this.
00:40:01.700 --> 00:40:02.420
I did that.
00:40:02.660 --> 00:40:04.240
All of this is leading me to somewhere.
00:40:05.300 --> 00:40:07.280
I'm supposed to go and die, right?
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:08.240
Yeah.
00:40:08.720 --> 00:40:09.440
He knew.
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:13.200
But then along the line, he became scared.
00:40:14.220 --> 00:40:14.960
I was like, eh?
00:40:15.110 --> 00:40:16.880
So they were really, really human.
00:40:17.300 --> 00:40:18.460
Heal me like this.
00:40:20.300 --> 00:40:24.600
And to be honest, if God decided at that point that he's not going to do it again.
00:40:24.670 --> 00:40:24.980
He's not going to do it again.
00:40:24.980 --> 00:40:26.340
He's not going to do it again.
00:40:28.460 --> 00:40:29.980
He's not going to do it again.
00:40:30.460 --> 00:40:34.220
I don't see Ujina because, I mean, in fact, it's even his trio.
00:40:34.640 --> 00:40:36.720
So, we would have just been yelling about it.
00:40:37.020 --> 00:40:37.360
Okay.
00:40:38.120 --> 00:40:38.720
He don't say that.
00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:39.580
He's not done anything.
00:40:42.780 --> 00:40:43.940
Anyway, that's on a lighter note.
00:40:44.160 --> 00:40:46.880
But, you know, he expressed himself.
00:40:47.620 --> 00:40:48.320
That's where I'm going.
00:40:49.180 --> 00:40:50.400
He expressed himself.
00:40:50.530 --> 00:40:51.900
He expressed his frustration.
00:40:52.110 --> 00:40:53.360
He expressed his fear.
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:55.880
He expressed his worries, concern.
00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:59.220
But then, it's like, okay.
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:07.640
this is your will let your will be done so perspective the way we are responding is also
00:41:07.980 --> 00:41:14.480
important so yeah yeah i feel like that's and the perspective that should matter the most should be
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:19.980
the perspective of what is god seeing i feel like when we start seeing from the point of view that
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:28.100
i'm just a child with this man then things i just feel like things would become better there'll be more
00:41:28.380 --> 00:41:30.000
of Thanksgiving than
00:41:30.620 --> 00:41:32.060
you know like frustration
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:34.020
or any other thing that we feel
00:41:34.620 --> 00:41:36.260
at that moment I feel like last month
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:38.140
was the month that God was really teaching me about
00:41:38.340 --> 00:41:39.820
Thanksgiving and now it's not just
00:41:40.260 --> 00:41:42.200
when things are bubbling that I would
00:41:42.380 --> 00:41:44.200
give thanks and that really struck because I was
00:41:44.380 --> 00:41:45.980
sad I thought I was good with
00:41:46.300 --> 00:41:48.260
being grateful but then I understood
00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:50.320
that I've always been grateful only
00:41:50.500 --> 00:41:51.740
when things please me
00:41:52.120 --> 00:41:54.000
and when things do not please me I'm like
00:41:54.080 --> 00:41:56.220
I'll complain first I'll complain
00:41:56.240 --> 00:41:58.160
and go everywhere and then come back and say, oh, thank you.
00:41:58.460 --> 00:42:00.180
You know, so it made me understand.
00:42:00.270 --> 00:42:03.400
But when I said to see from this perspective that it's a privilege,
00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:05.000
we don't deserve it.
00:42:05.390 --> 00:42:05.960
No, we don't.
00:42:06.120 --> 00:42:07.600
You don't, yeah.
00:42:07.990 --> 00:42:09.980
You might as well be on the street.
00:42:10.240 --> 00:42:10.720
Who knows?
00:42:11.200 --> 00:42:13.860
It's a privilege that you were counted among those people.
00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:15.820
So when we start seeing it from that perspective,
00:42:15.940 --> 00:42:18.600
you even make us take purpose even more seriously.
00:42:18.660 --> 00:42:19.220
That's right.
00:42:19.470 --> 00:42:21.220
Because now you're saying that it's a privilege.
00:42:21.450 --> 00:42:22.380
Oh, some people are on this.
00:42:22.500 --> 00:42:23.940
What if I was never given this?
00:42:24.160 --> 00:42:25.120
What if I don't know God?
00:42:25.380 --> 00:42:26.140
How would my life be?
00:42:26.370 --> 00:42:27.920
I don't know how my life would be.
00:42:28.380 --> 00:42:29.060
Oh, my gosh.
00:42:29.540 --> 00:42:31.420
You know, when you start to think that way,
00:42:31.750 --> 00:42:34.940
you take everything with God even more seriously.
00:42:35.120 --> 00:42:35.260
Right.
00:42:35.620 --> 00:42:36.000
That's right.
00:42:36.200 --> 00:42:41.400
Imagine there's a class that has, like, 20 students in it.
00:42:42.160 --> 00:42:44.500
And then, remember when you were in primary school.
00:42:44.720 --> 00:42:44.840
Yeah.
00:42:45.220 --> 00:42:46.660
And then your teacher starts calling people,
00:42:49.940 --> 00:42:52.260
you'll be the one to be in charge of the exercise books.
00:42:52.350 --> 00:42:53.580
Make sure you collect your people's exercise.
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:55.800
your classmates exercise book every morning.
00:42:57.260 --> 00:43:00.860
Toasting, you are in charge of the pencils and the barrels.
00:43:01.500 --> 00:43:04.440
Make sure that everything is well talked away and arranged and everything.
00:43:06.240 --> 00:43:09.000
David, make sure that you clean the board every morning and, you know.
00:43:10.040 --> 00:43:12.020
And then they call every single person.
00:43:12.300 --> 00:43:13.620
Call the first 15 people.
00:43:15.020 --> 00:43:15.680
Oh, my God.
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:18.660
I'm sure the last five people will be like, ah, what is wrong?
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:21.820
They will be waiting for when the teacher will call them.
00:43:23.180 --> 00:43:27.840
Now, some people will say, I don't want anybody to give me any responsibility before.
00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:31.800
And that is not the virtue that God wants of us.
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:33.000
Right.
00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:34.940
So it is a privilege.
00:43:35.430 --> 00:43:39.100
Just like the teacher is calling everybody and giving them an assignment and say, do this, do this, do that.
00:43:39.540 --> 00:43:41.240
Everybody wants to be perfect.
00:43:42.380 --> 00:43:42.740
Right?
00:43:43.260 --> 00:43:46.580
Except people that are irresponsible, that they don't want to give anybody.
00:43:47.240 --> 00:43:49.460
And that's not who we are as Christians, as children of God.
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.660
So as long as we are children of God, we are giving our life to Christ.
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:55.240
Okay, thank you, Lisbeth.
00:43:55.240 --> 00:43:55.780
I remember that.
00:43:55.950 --> 00:43:57.320
So when you give your life to somebody,
00:43:57.850 --> 00:43:59.940
and you say, this person, I give you my life,
00:44:00.260 --> 00:44:05.460
take it, you already know that this person can do anything with that life.
00:44:06.120 --> 00:44:09.380
So you are coming already as a, you're already in a state of,
00:44:10.140 --> 00:44:12.160
I don't want, I'm not going to use the word disadvantage
00:44:12.380 --> 00:44:14.280
or like we're enslaved to God.
00:44:14.390 --> 00:44:16.240
No, because we are kings and we are priests.
00:44:16.380 --> 00:44:17.360
That's what God has made us.
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:20.020
But still, once we give our lives to Christ,
00:44:20.220 --> 00:44:23.700
We are telling God that if I come at me and I say,
00:44:23.820 --> 00:44:25.380
Juliana, I want to give my life to you.
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:29.140
On my way out, I expect you to say, oh, come back here.
00:44:29.260 --> 00:44:30.720
Go and do this for me.
00:44:31.030 --> 00:44:31.680
You know what I mean?
00:44:32.220 --> 00:44:33.140
So same thing.
00:44:33.190 --> 00:44:37.520
If we give our lives to Christ, we already know that God can give us any,
00:44:38.500 --> 00:44:39.540
you know, assignments.
00:44:40.060 --> 00:44:41.520
He can call us into anything.
00:44:42.240 --> 00:44:46.540
He can decide to disrupt the trajectory of our lives.
00:44:46.650 --> 00:44:49.380
I say he wants things to go this way instead of that way.
00:44:50.120 --> 00:44:55.280
So that's to establish the fact that we are not coming to God as irresponsible people.
00:44:55.900 --> 00:44:58.140
We definitely want irresponsibility.
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:01.860
So it's a privilege for him to say, now go ahead and do this.
00:45:02.020 --> 00:45:02.980
I'm sending you to the nations.
00:45:03.180 --> 00:45:04.380
Do you know how that sounds?
00:45:05.660 --> 00:45:09.200
Like, I think it's actually a big privilege.
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:14.060
Something to be thankful for and hold it there to one's heart and say,
00:45:14.120 --> 00:45:17.560
oh, God is actually sending, is committing lives into my hands.
00:45:18.080 --> 00:45:21.280
It's committing this assignment into my hands.
00:45:22.080 --> 00:45:24.520
And then, like, no, I'm going to run with it.
00:45:24.530 --> 00:45:26.280
And I'm not going to stay too far from this God.
00:45:26.420 --> 00:45:28.260
Give me directions and instructions.
00:45:29.240 --> 00:45:36.900
You know, I'm always very intrigued every time I read about the story of how the temple was built
00:45:37.120 --> 00:45:39.120
and the specifics that God was given.
00:45:39.860 --> 00:45:42.060
I was like, come on, you guys.
00:45:42.380 --> 00:45:43.160
Oh, my God.
00:45:43.210 --> 00:45:44.540
You guys were hearing God speak.
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:45.640
Oh, Lord.
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:46.280
Right?
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:50.960
Like the specifics of how God was saying,
00:45:52.780 --> 00:45:54.400
the heights will be like this,
00:45:55.100 --> 00:45:57.060
this is how the color should be,
00:45:57.080 --> 00:45:58.480
this is where this should be placed,
00:45:58.640 --> 00:45:59.220
this should be...
00:46:00.340 --> 00:46:00.920
Oh my goodness.
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:02.920
That was...
00:46:03.860 --> 00:46:04.900
Every time I read that scripture,
00:46:05.100 --> 00:46:06.040
I'm always intrigued.
00:46:06.240 --> 00:46:10.000
I'm like, there is no way you will not be able to hear God
00:46:10.040 --> 00:46:11.220
and God has given you specifics.
00:46:11.580 --> 00:46:13.500
Come on, if someone is saying that God gave me specifics,
00:46:13.700 --> 00:46:14.840
I believe them.
00:46:14.980 --> 00:46:15.120
Yeah.
00:46:15.500 --> 00:46:17.040
I believe them because it's true.
00:46:17.200 --> 00:46:24.480
God, even when Noah was building the hack, like, spot on, this is how I want you to do
00:46:24.580 --> 00:46:24.700
this.
00:46:24.780 --> 00:46:28.540
So, I mean, I forgot what we're talking about.
00:46:29.380 --> 00:46:29.760
It's okay.
00:46:30.240 --> 00:46:34.560
I think we're talking about, you know, like, you know, purpose and being thankful for the
00:46:34.660 --> 00:46:36.500
grace to be involved in something.
00:46:36.520 --> 00:46:37.700
Yeah, it is a privilege.
00:46:37.940 --> 00:46:38.380
Yeah, it is.
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:42.240
I think that this is just a very beautiful way to round off.
00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:47.340
if you are being just so chipping a little bit to say if you have been like you know struggling a
00:46:47.410 --> 00:46:52.540
little bit with what you should pray about i think this is another thing to pray about so being thankful
00:46:53.220 --> 00:46:58.840
that you have the privilege to be called by him i think that's what pastor the lack of will say
00:46:58.870 --> 00:47:03.800
there was one time that he said that one and that really just talked to me was like it's a grace that
00:47:04.020 --> 00:47:11.440
god that people know me because of god like yeah i'm a come i'm how did he put it like my name is now
00:47:11.460 --> 00:47:13.220
with God. I think people mention
00:47:13.780 --> 00:47:15.320
Pastor Dolapur, all they remember that
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:16.960
is like a life of Christ.
00:47:17.310 --> 00:47:18.360
I think it's a privilege.
00:47:19.070 --> 00:47:21.180
I think it's a big deal.
00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:23.220
So I feel like, yeah,
00:47:23.540 --> 00:47:25.500
in case you've been wondering, you don't know what to pray
00:47:25.680 --> 00:47:27.240
about, that's something to be thankful
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:29.380
about again. And yeah, do you have
00:47:29.500 --> 00:47:30.440
any other things to think?
00:47:30.900 --> 00:47:33.280
Yeah, I think what I just want to say, somebody is probably
00:47:33.600 --> 00:47:35.340
asking, so how do I now align with this
00:47:35.490 --> 00:47:37.260
purpose, right? I think
00:47:37.460 --> 00:47:38.700
what I'm going to say is
00:47:38.720 --> 00:47:41.440
definitely, definitely hold on to God.
00:47:42.540 --> 00:47:44.880
That's like the number one key factor.
00:47:47.800 --> 00:47:50.520
Finding God, continually seeking Him.
00:47:53.780 --> 00:47:56.720
Finding God, continually seeking Him,
00:47:57.880 --> 00:47:58.820
fellowshipping with Him,
00:47:59.860 --> 00:48:01.780
checking in with God from time to time.
00:48:02.020 --> 00:48:04.840
Have a consistent fellowship with God.
00:48:05.130 --> 00:48:07.680
And that's the way we can.
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:11.480
Because, I mean, if you don't have a relationship with somebody, how do they even want to share anything with you?
00:48:11.550 --> 00:48:14.060
How do they even want to be intimate with you?
00:48:14.580 --> 00:48:21.700
So, yeah, having that ongoing, constant relationship with God is very important.
00:48:22.680 --> 00:48:26.560
Now, after you have now come, God has called you and everything.
00:48:27.240 --> 00:48:29.960
There's a part of what we have to do.
00:48:31.640 --> 00:48:34.860
There's a part of our own responsibility, putting in the work.
00:48:35.600 --> 00:48:46.500
We have to be willing to obey, aligning with God, obey, surrendering ourselves, doing the hard work, you know.
00:48:47.160 --> 00:48:57.260
So all of those things, those are the ways that we can align with God, that we can keep on staying on track with God.
00:48:57.600 --> 00:48:57.920
Yeah.
00:48:58.540 --> 00:48:58.720
Yeah.
00:48:59.190 --> 00:49:03.340
I think that's like very good to round off and take off with.
00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:07.200
I think it's important that, you know, just to round everything off.
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:11.280
This is not just for people that are just finding purpose today or yesterday.
00:49:12.060 --> 00:49:12.720
It's also you.
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:14.160
We have known purpose since forever.
00:49:14.700 --> 00:49:17.000
And, you know, we just always want to be in alignment.
00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:20.680
I feel like that's another prayer point if we don't know what to pray about today.
00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:23.660
To just keep being in alignment and allow this will to be done.
00:49:24.100 --> 00:49:27.220
You know, so I feel like this has answered so many people's questions.
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:33.640
those that um i've been in purpose for a while and those that are just you know starting off and
00:49:33.720 --> 00:49:39.260
okay how do i start and remember we spoke about those little things you know your position as a
00:49:39.420 --> 00:49:45.860
child your position in the church your position as a in the family as a father a mother a daughter
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:52.380
all those things are also the little purpose that he has given us as well and as much as they are
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:59.260
important as the big one like we have said um i think this is a good way to round off um yeah it
00:49:59.290 --> 00:50:06.100
was a very beautiful conversation thank you so much for coming again thank you the devil is a liar
00:50:06.380 --> 00:50:11.980

to increase your strength and the assignment that He has put in your hands, you will not fail,

by the special grace of God
00:02:18.440 --> 00:02:19.620
I would say that God
00:02:19.720 --> 00:02:21.600
has blessed me with lots of talent

00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:03.340
So, yeah. And like I said, the topic is really, I feel like you're just very like the perfect fit for the topic.
00:03:03.470 --> 00:03:06.580
Because like you said, you have so many things that you are doing.
00:03:07.300 --> 00:03:15.580
And, you know, having the grace to still align all of those things with the purpose of what God has called you to do is like the core of everything.
00:03:15.930 --> 00:03:19.640
Right. So I feel like that's just the topic is just like, yeah, I swear you that.
00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:22.460
OK, come on, just talk about it.
00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:28.740
about it and yes she's always skilled in so many things so many things so many so many things she
00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:34.660
has a photography business she also drums in the church and she has an amazing voice you know yeah
00:03:34.780 --> 00:03:39.480
she's just very very skilled and that's why i said the topic is basically something i know that she
00:03:39.620 --> 00:03:46.600
would have an opinion about or speak more about so yeah just so we don't waste any time let's just go
00:03:46.620 --> 00:03:53.600
straight into it but before that we would like to want to know you better just you know have a little
00:03:53.740 --> 00:04:00.380
more idea of what you how you think like before we know so we can predict some of the answers or
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:05.820
probably just understand the point of view better so yeah i would ask that what is your favorite
00:04:06.040 --> 00:04:14.880
bible verse in this season and why is it the favorite verse i think one um bible verse that
00:04:14.900 --> 00:04:21.840
stood out to me in like many seasons of my life is one I'm going to talk about.
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:22.180
Yeah.
00:04:22.220 --> 00:04:25.500
I'm going to be in, which is great.
00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:29.260
It's in Psalm 113 verse 7.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.260
And it says,
00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:37.800
He raised up the poor out of the dust and lifted the needy out of the dumbed ill.
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.920
And I just love this scripture because, you know,
00:04:41.020 --> 00:04:45.760
When the Bible talks about God raising someone, raising the poor,
00:04:45.900 --> 00:04:47.300
we're not just talking about money.
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.240
Someone that is poor is someone that doesn't have something.
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:58.220
When the person is without, whatever that thing we're talking about is.
00:04:58.860 --> 00:05:01.740
So this scripture blesses my heart so much
00:05:03.320 --> 00:05:06.260
because it makes me to understand by revelation
00:05:06.740 --> 00:05:10.280
that God can raise anybody out of anywhere.
00:05:11.259 --> 00:05:12.040
exalt them
00:05:12.960 --> 00:05:13.660
and in fact there's another
00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:15.820
maybe another translation or maybe
00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:17.900
because this scripture I think is you're preaching the bible
00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:19.880
like another time before someone
00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:20.720
or something like that
00:05:21.500 --> 00:05:22.880
and it says that it makes
00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:25.720
that person to sit
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:26.660
a whole case
00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:30.280
people in high places
00:05:31.100 --> 00:05:31.400
and
00:05:32.300 --> 00:05:33.920
I mean I'm not
00:05:34.020 --> 00:05:35.900
where I know God is taking me to eventually
00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:38.040
but I know that God has taken me out
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:39.959
of my lowly estates
00:05:40.520 --> 00:05:47.460
a thousand times and again so this scripture blesses my heart a lot when i look at all the
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:54.720
journey the entire journey of my life so far i see that only god could have raised me could have
00:05:54.980 --> 00:06:01.360
brought me out and that stems even from from salvation and every other journey that i've gone
00:06:01.470 --> 00:06:06.999
through yeah um i'm sure you know a little bit of my story sometimes you know there are many seasons
00:06:07.020 --> 00:06:08.760
I've waited. I mean, a lot of people
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:11.000
wait. Even in my seasons
00:06:11.090 --> 00:06:13.020
of waiting and how God just brings
00:06:13.260 --> 00:06:13.720
me out.
00:06:16.620 --> 00:06:17.140
That's
00:06:17.140 --> 00:06:18.860
one of the reasons why the scripture
00:06:18.930 --> 00:06:20.180
is very dear to my heart.
00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:23.020
It just takes me on that.
00:06:23.510 --> 00:06:24.340
It just brings
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.960
my old journey right before my
00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:27.920
eyes all over again.
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:30.460
I'm just thankful to God.
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:31.960
That's very beautiful.
00:06:32.690 --> 00:06:34.740
I feel like the scripture wouldn't be
00:06:34.750 --> 00:06:36.220
for maybe this season alone.
00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:45.920
has been ongoing yeah which is so beautiful yeah that's so amazing god is good and i just really
00:06:46.120 --> 00:06:50.300
hope that this will not be like i hope that next time maybe you would have a conversation like this
00:06:50.300 --> 00:06:55.400
with somebody you would still reflect on that bible verse and to say oh my gosh something else
00:06:55.620 --> 00:07:01.099
that's happened again and i'm like oh god because you know god is amazing and it's just beautiful
00:07:01.120 --> 00:07:09.480
to see the things that you do and yeah you just can't you can't even god is just yeah thank you
00:07:09.640 --> 00:07:16.300
so much i mean i don't there's nothing that anyone has that that god did not give everything we have
00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:23.280
we are received by the grace of god so yeah i found that i just somehow talents talking about
00:07:23.420 --> 00:07:31.080
the drumming thing my brother drums but i mean he never sat me down to teach me so it was
00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:38.600
more of like just something that came to me naturally and then over time when I found that
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:46.360
I needed it recently I eroded it and you're doing so good oh my god you guys have to see
00:07:46.940 --> 00:07:54.440
it's so nice it's so beautiful thank you thank you yeah okay so let's go to the question for the
00:07:54.520 --> 00:08:01.060
topic for today like we said the topic is aligning in purpose so I would ask if you would if you have
00:08:01.060 --> 00:08:08.840
to that so what would it mean for somebody to align in purpose oh that's a good question um
00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:18.420
i listened to i watched the episode from last week the last month and and um our our guest
00:08:18.860 --> 00:08:24.700
praise i think she did a very good um justice to talking about purpose finding purpose and all of
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.000
So I'm not going to go back into that.
00:08:28.140 --> 00:08:33.219
Just go straight into aligning in purpose.
00:08:34.580 --> 00:08:37.460
So now I'm going to start with breaking it down.
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.020
There's the word aligning and then there's purpose.
00:08:40.740 --> 00:08:48.760
I like to see purpose as God's will, as an assignment, the reason for which it created us.
00:08:49.080 --> 00:08:50.560
I mean, what's the purpose of anything?
00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:51.700
What would that thing do?
00:08:52.260 --> 00:08:53.540
What would that thing achieve?
00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:55.580
What is its usefulness?
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:01.020
So purpose will be what God has called us to do, an assignment,
00:09:01.710 --> 00:09:05.380
whether at a particular point in time or the big assignment,
00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:07.980
talking about the big picture of why God created us.
00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:13.540
Because the scripture says in Jeremiah now,
00:09:13.870 --> 00:09:18.180
that before he created us in our mother's womb, he already knew us.
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.340
So there was a reason why God created each and every one of us.
00:09:21.880 --> 00:09:23.900
And that's purpose that we're talking about.
00:09:24.340 --> 00:09:26.500
Now, aligning in purpose.
00:09:29.300 --> 00:09:32.780
Very importantly, I want to emphasize on the God factor where we're talking about purpose.
00:09:33.080 --> 00:09:34.620
So we want to talk about alignment.
00:09:34.900 --> 00:09:40.900
Alignment would be being in sync, being in the same direction,
00:09:41.300 --> 00:09:45.320
would be agreeing, would be working hand in hand,
00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:52.140
will be understanding, agreeing, taking shape.
00:09:53.050 --> 00:09:56.460
Yeah, so aligning in purpose will be agreeing,
00:09:57.820 --> 00:10:02.200
being in line with God, with what God wants of us.
00:10:02.880 --> 00:10:08.380
Aligning in purpose is agreeing to what God requires of us,
00:10:09.050 --> 00:10:09.760
to God's will.
00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:13.180
You know, I've heard, in fact, by experience,
00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:22.440
I would say that sometimes when God is asking something of us, it can be really tough.
00:10:23.630 --> 00:10:29.060
And that's going by our human mind or we're trying to do it by our strength
00:10:29.750 --> 00:10:31.520
or we're trying to be calculative.
00:10:32.190 --> 00:10:33.780
So it can be challenging.
00:10:34.900 --> 00:10:40.980
But when we rely solely on God, and that's where the alignment comes in,
00:10:41.380 --> 00:10:46.680
When we rely solely on God, when we understand that He has the manual of our life in His hands,
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:52.680
and He has good and perfect plans for us, then we would never go wrong.
00:10:52.710 --> 00:10:53.740
It becomes easy.
00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.460
It's just God breaking us down.
00:10:56.640 --> 00:10:58.620
It's just God working on our hearts.
00:10:58.740 --> 00:11:03.660
It's just God showing us that His plans and His will will always be better for us.
00:11:03.800 --> 00:11:07.760
So aligning in purpose is surrendering to God.
00:11:08.700 --> 00:11:15.740
letting go of ourselves, of our ideas, our ideologies, our plans.
00:11:16.400 --> 00:11:17.680
Some people have life plans.
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:19.780
Oh, this is how my life must look like.
00:11:20.440 --> 00:11:22.220
By this age, I want to be this.
00:11:22.740 --> 00:11:24.800
By this age, I want to be that.
00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:28.180
But God is saying no.
00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:30.240
That's not what I'm saying.
00:11:30.860 --> 00:11:32.080
That's not what I'm going for.
00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:33.760
That is not my plan.
00:11:34.220 --> 00:11:41.080
Now, it's time for such a person to say, okay, hands off.
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:42.680
I let go.
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:44.980
Show me, Lord.
00:11:45.660 --> 00:11:46.460
I humble myself.
00:11:46.590 --> 00:11:47.620
I surrender myself.
00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:50.280
I want to align.
00:11:50.410 --> 00:11:51.320
I want to agree.
00:11:51.430 --> 00:11:52.420
I want to obey.
00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:56.520
So, yeah, that's the way I would look at aligning in purpose.
00:11:57.339 --> 00:11:57.860
Obedience.
00:11:57.980 --> 00:11:59.640
Just in terms of definition.
00:11:59.860 --> 00:12:06.680
Yeah, I think that's a good way to just lay basics for it for any layman to understand.
00:12:07.340 --> 00:12:10.600
It's just basically like, oh, God says this and you are obedient.
00:12:10.640 --> 00:12:16.220
Like, obedience will be a very, you know, a key or a synonym to that alignment.
00:12:16.600 --> 00:12:17.960
Like, oh, this is it.
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:20.820
Obedience will just be the perfect one, which I think is very important.
00:12:21.340 --> 00:12:28.880
You said something about purpose to say that it might be something that happens for a short period of time.
00:12:29.040 --> 00:12:32.180
I think something that we have always known about purpose,
00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:34.580
actually like something I have heard about purpose,
00:12:35.060 --> 00:12:37.100
is really like, oh, it's a long time thing.
00:12:37.260 --> 00:12:40.240
So if God says, God wants you to be a minister,
00:12:40.760 --> 00:12:44.020
it's usually like, oh, be a minister now till you die.
00:12:44.420 --> 00:12:50.760
I don't think anybody has actually spoken about the fact that it could be for a season.
00:12:51.520 --> 00:12:53.820
And that's when alignment also comes in to say,
00:12:53.860 --> 00:12:57.280
some people might not know that that purpose is just for a season,
00:12:57.400 --> 00:13:00.420
but because they have the mentality to say purpose is lifetime.
00:13:01.160 --> 00:13:03.780
After a God has completed a section of their life,
00:13:03.780 --> 00:13:05.740
they still keep doing those things,
00:13:05.860 --> 00:13:08.820
which makes them no longer aligning in purpose.
00:13:09.400 --> 00:13:14.220
So I wanted to kind of elaborate on the fact that it could just be for two days
00:13:14.460 --> 00:13:15.860
and that's all that you do.
00:13:16.300 --> 00:13:18.200
Okay, I think I'd like to take it from you.
00:13:18.380 --> 00:13:20.780
That scripture that says that he that is faithful in little
00:13:21.840 --> 00:13:23.980
is definitely going to be faithful in much.
00:13:24.660 --> 00:13:35.260
Now, before God commits a very big thing into anybody's hands, just like any human will probably do, like you want to give somebody a project, you probably want them to get on the little things first, right?
00:13:35.800 --> 00:13:40.920
So, either is faithful in little, will definitely be faithful in much.
00:13:41.660 --> 00:13:49.640
So, if God is saying do this, and you are doing it precepts of what precepts, and God is saying that this person is getting ready for that big thing,
00:13:50.780 --> 00:13:56.120
I would say that there are two different ways that we can look at the dimensions of fulfilling purpose.
00:13:57.500 --> 00:14:01.760
Now, even if God says, oh, this person is going to be a minister of the world,
00:14:02.420 --> 00:14:06.800
is going to break chains, I'm sending into nations of the world,
00:14:07.500 --> 00:14:09.720
it's not going to happen the moment they're born.
00:14:10.640 --> 00:14:13.760
It's not even going to happen the first few years of their life
00:14:14.220 --> 00:14:18.240
because God is doing something, is working, it's a process.
00:14:18.520 --> 00:14:23.160
He's working, first of all, upon such an individual before he gets to that big stage.
00:14:23.400 --> 00:14:33.700
So I think we should first of all get rid of the myth that purpose is one very big assignment
00:14:34.320 --> 00:14:37.360
or one destination that we are going to.
00:14:38.400 --> 00:14:41.720
Now, God has created every one of us to glorify him.
00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:43.080
That's our number one purpose.
00:14:43.230 --> 00:14:47.560
And it doesn't even matter what assignment you're going to have or not.
00:14:47.800 --> 00:14:50.640
God has created us as his workmanship to give him glory.
00:14:50.920 --> 00:14:59.080
So that is the big, the biggest assignment that we have as Christians is to give glory and praise back to God.
00:14:59.560 --> 00:15:04.740
Now, back to what I was saying about, oh, if God says you're going to become a minister, you're not going to become that thing in the very day.
00:15:05.700 --> 00:15:06.740
So there is a big picture.
00:15:06.850 --> 00:15:08.440
I know that, oh, God is taking me there.
00:15:08.870 --> 00:15:10.560
God is taking me to this particular place.
00:15:10.770 --> 00:15:14.100
Oh, that's the reason why God created me.
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:18.280
But I can tell you that that is not all the reason why God created you.
00:15:18.900 --> 00:15:22.740
Because God has put us in this part of life on earth for a reason.
00:15:23.060 --> 00:15:23.940
You're surrounded by people.
00:15:24.300 --> 00:15:25.340
You're surrounded by your family.
00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:27.120
You're surrounded by people in your school.
00:15:27.360 --> 00:15:28.540
You're surrounded by people in your office.
00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:32.360
And you will definitely be something to every one of them.
00:15:32.580 --> 00:15:32.980
Yes.
00:15:33.680 --> 00:15:36.180
You will definitely be something to every one of them.
00:15:36.300 --> 00:15:42.040
I'm saying all this just to, you know, make it look practical and to help us visualize it.
00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:47.900
Every pastor is probably a husband or a wife, is a father.
00:15:48.370 --> 00:15:49.580
God blesses them with children.
00:15:50.190 --> 00:15:51.500
They are colleagues at work.
00:15:52.260 --> 00:15:53.800
They are uncles.
00:15:54.580 --> 00:15:55.320
They are aunties.
00:15:55.450 --> 00:15:58.380
You know, just to make it look real, what we're talking about.
00:15:58.660 --> 00:16:03.680
And every single thing that God has put us to do is as important as the big one.
00:16:03.720 --> 00:16:04.140
Yes.
00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:05.980
That's something, yeah.
00:16:06.120 --> 00:16:07.260
It's as important as.
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:11.380
And that's why, I hope I'm not talking too much.
00:16:11.700 --> 00:16:15.960
And that's why, you know, we've heard stories of pastors.
00:16:17.780 --> 00:16:24.280
I'm not picking up pastors, but you know, we've heard stories of pastors that, oh, they're all about their ministry, but they're failing at home.
00:16:24.560 --> 00:16:26.140
Yeah, yeah, there's a lot.
00:16:26.380 --> 00:16:30.140
Yeah, you've heard about, let me talk about youth.
00:16:30.460 --> 00:16:31.420
I'm on fire for God.
00:16:31.420 --> 00:16:32.600
I'm the prayer coordinator.
00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:34.600
I'm the president in my fellowship.
00:16:35.370 --> 00:16:39.620
But they are not even close to the mark at home.
00:16:39.760 --> 00:16:45.020
Like you go to their schools, their place of work, and nobody can even say that they are children of God.
00:16:46.960 --> 00:16:48.080
So there's a big picture.
00:16:48.380 --> 00:16:49.120
There's a big thing.
00:16:49.300 --> 00:16:49.900
There's a big purpose.
00:16:50.080 --> 00:16:51.000
There's a big stage.
00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:54.260
But then there's the smaller things.
00:16:55.380 --> 00:17:04.600
And that's where the answer to your question for me will be is that purpose is not a destination.
00:17:04.730 --> 00:17:05.980
It can be for a season.
00:17:07.760 --> 00:17:09.920
God wants you to achieve this particular thing.
00:17:10.420 --> 00:17:12.699
Talk about God bringing you to a city.
00:17:13.280 --> 00:17:15.260
You're just going to be in that city for two months.
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:20.480
And you probably will never go back to that place for the rest of your life.
00:17:20.569 --> 00:17:21.959
And then you move on to another city.
00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:26.040
And like I said, everywhere that God places our foot,
00:17:26.520 --> 00:17:28.260
every environment that God places us,
00:17:28.860 --> 00:17:30.340
He wants us to do something there.
00:17:31.760 --> 00:17:33.180
Sometimes we're not even talking to people.
00:17:33.360 --> 00:17:35.820
They're just looking at us and they're being blessed.
00:17:35.940 --> 00:17:37.080
and that's purpose.
00:17:38.820 --> 00:17:40.560
So, and that's the reason why
00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:42.760
I'm going to digress a bit.
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:43.860
And that's the reason why
00:17:44.660 --> 00:17:46.740
I think some people struggle
00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:47.300
and they say,
00:17:47.320 --> 00:17:48.840
oh, I don't know what my purpose is
00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:49.480
because they don't know
00:17:49.560 --> 00:17:50.460
what the big thing.
00:17:51.180 --> 00:17:51.500
Yes.
00:17:51.980 --> 00:17:52.160
They're like,
00:17:52.340 --> 00:17:53.620
I don't know what my purpose is.
00:17:53.960 --> 00:17:55.600
I don't know why God created me.
00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:56.240
No.
00:17:57.520 --> 00:17:59.860
As long as you are here on earth,
00:18:01.560 --> 00:18:02.920
as long as you are in an habitat,
00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:03.980
you are in a place,
00:18:04.080 --> 00:18:05.000
you are in an environment,
00:18:05.220 --> 00:18:07.840
you're in an area, God has put you there for something.
00:18:08.220 --> 00:18:08.380
Yeah.
00:18:08.800 --> 00:18:10.220
And we're talking purpose already.
00:18:10.640 --> 00:18:11.620
Like, it's that simple.
00:18:12.420 --> 00:18:13.280
Yeah, that's true.
00:18:13.320 --> 00:18:15.880
And so somebody will say, I don't know why God created me.
00:18:16.020 --> 00:18:17.360
I'm still trying to discover purpose.
00:18:18.020 --> 00:18:18.520
Guess what?
00:18:19.040 --> 00:18:21.800
People that are 60, they are still discovering new purposes.
00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:24.580
People that are 70, they are still...
00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:28.960
And that's why you find a 60-year-old person that is going back to school.
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:31.460
And they are actually achieving it.
00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:32.840
Yeah.
00:18:33.220 --> 00:18:39.300
So just to answer your question, purpose is not always the biggest thing.
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:41.740
It can be just for a season.
00:18:42.560 --> 00:18:45.600
Maybe God is just taking me through this land because he wants me to bless somebody.
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:51.800
God is just putting me in this place of work because there's somebody that needs to meet with me
00:18:52.560 --> 00:18:54.420
and hear some words of life from me.
00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:58.040
Yeah, so I hope that answers.
00:18:59.080 --> 00:19:01.520
Yes, that answered it for sure.
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:07.900
to say that purpose is not i feel like yeah what you said is very important that those little places
00:19:08.080 --> 00:19:13.680
that we are placed in as a young maybe a young teenager that is like oh what's my purpose you
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:18.560
are an elder sister to your siblings it starts from there you have to be a good daughter to your
00:19:18.860 --> 00:19:24.520
parents it starts from there so those little things if we don't ignore them because like you said i've
00:19:24.580 --> 00:19:29.779
seen people that don't prioritize that part of their life and they're prioritizing the one that
00:19:29.800 --> 00:19:34.820
they're saying God called them for it and then neglect those little other things.
00:19:35.380 --> 00:19:41.380
What we know for God for sure is that God is not a man that would now tell you that would leave your parents to come here.
00:19:41.740 --> 00:19:44.420
He's somebody that is a family person.
00:19:44.660 --> 00:19:47.000
He loves those other people.
00:19:47.180 --> 00:19:49.700
You don't let go of them as only you go to the forest.
00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:53.100
So I think that's a very good way to answer it.
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:54.700
That's a very nice way to answer it.
00:19:55.200 --> 00:20:07.380
Just to continue to add to that question, I would say, how then do somebody that has a lot of skills, I would say, because I think the next month is talking about skills and purpose.
00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:11.520
But maybe this was a question I was supposed to ask and I really want to ask you, but it's okay.
00:20:12.020 --> 00:20:13.200
Like skills and purpose.
00:20:13.540 --> 00:20:16.500
People have a lot of things that they like to do.
00:20:17.040 --> 00:20:23.040
How do they balance liking to do a lot of things and moving them with purpose?
00:20:23.860 --> 00:20:30.580
Or like, you know, being involved in so many things and making sure that you are not falling away from purpose.
00:20:31.300 --> 00:20:31.380
Yeah.
00:20:31.980 --> 00:20:32.140
Okay.
00:20:33.120 --> 00:20:38.360
Just like we started with talking about God being the center of our lives.
00:20:39.260 --> 00:20:46.180
And that God that created us has a manual of our life and how he wants it to go.
00:20:48.600 --> 00:20:50.980
Is what I will first point to.
00:20:51.260 --> 00:21:01.900
And that is, before we even talk about somebody being able to align in purpose, like we already said anyways, they have to have a relationship with God.
00:21:04.100 --> 00:21:13.420
And that is one of the ways that their skills or whatever giftings they have and whatever will align with purpose is that they have a relationship with God.
00:21:13.980 --> 00:21:18.100
That communicating with God, God is telling them that, yes, this is it.
00:21:18.300 --> 00:21:18.920
Go for it.
00:21:19.600 --> 00:21:20.440
This is not it.
00:21:20.560 --> 00:21:21.540
This is not part of the plan.
00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:22.340
Don't go for it.
00:21:23.360 --> 00:21:25.880
I mean, you cannot be a savior to everybody.
00:21:26.070 --> 00:21:29.660
I know I put you in this environment, but no, I didn't bring you here to save the whole world.
00:21:29.770 --> 00:21:30.940
I didn't bring you here to save everybody.
00:21:31.050 --> 00:21:35.020
I brought you for this at this particular time.
00:21:36.260 --> 00:21:38.720
So, foundationally, God.
00:21:40.740 --> 00:21:42.920
We have to have a relationship with God.
00:21:42.990 --> 00:21:46.420
And when I say relationship with God, I'm talking being a Christian.
00:21:47.140 --> 00:21:48.280
You've given your life to Christ.
00:21:48.630 --> 00:21:51.780
And then you continue to walk out your salvation with fear and trembling.
00:21:52.020 --> 00:21:53.020
Communion with God.
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:54.820
Spending time in worship.
00:21:55.100 --> 00:21:56.020
Spending time in prayer.
00:21:56.260 --> 00:21:58.400
Asking God for the next steps.
00:21:59.100 --> 00:22:00.580
Talking to God from time to time.
00:22:03.340 --> 00:22:09.440
Now, that's another way for us to be able to balance our skills with purpose.
00:22:10.320 --> 00:22:15.540
Is we're asking ourselves, this thing I'm doing, is it glorifying God?
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:20.060
Because that's the center of everything that we are doing.
00:22:20.900 --> 00:22:27.020
Like I said, God has created us as his workmanship to bring him glory, to bring him praise.
00:22:28.400 --> 00:22:32.420
All these things I'm doing, are they glorifying God in any way?
00:22:33.300 --> 00:22:35.840
Or am I seeking the approval of men?
00:22:36.800 --> 00:22:40.340
Am I doing this thing because I just want people to know that I'm skilled?
00:22:41.180 --> 00:22:43.900
Oh, somebody will say, but it's God that gave me the skills now.
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:45.460
It doesn't matter.
00:22:46.340 --> 00:22:50.100
even though the skills and the talents and the blessings and the opportunities and everything
00:22:50.190 --> 00:22:54.140
is from God but when you are doing it are we checking you are you checking your hearts
00:22:54.590 --> 00:23:01.300
the state of your hearts what exactly is the motivation behind it is it to bring glory to God
00:23:01.820 --> 00:23:06.580
is it just for fleshly desires is it just to put your name in the mouth of people or to put your
00:23:06.760 --> 00:23:12.559
face in this you know on a pedestal where everybody knows that this person is very talented very gifted
00:23:12.580 --> 00:23:16.040
and that will bring me to the next thing is, is it draining you?
00:23:17.600 --> 00:23:18.660
Are you burning out?
00:23:18.980 --> 00:23:21.460
Like, okay, I'm trying very hard to do all these things
00:23:21.590 --> 00:23:23.860
and I don't think I can keep up.
00:23:25.800 --> 00:23:28.660
God is not a task.
00:23:28.840 --> 00:23:30.500
Is it task force or was it?
00:23:30.580 --> 00:23:31.400
How do you say that thing?
00:23:31.520 --> 00:23:32.320
It's not a wicked God.
00:23:32.330 --> 00:23:33.360
It will not burden us.
00:23:33.410 --> 00:23:36.700
It will not put too much on us that we can bear.
00:23:38.540 --> 00:23:42.500
So, yeah, one person can be skilled and talented in many things.
00:23:42.780 --> 00:23:46.780
But like we said, talking about purpose in different sections and different areas by time.
00:23:47.440 --> 00:23:49.600
God, I want you to use this skill at this particular time.
00:23:49.700 --> 00:23:55.100
If I told you that I used to sew, I made money from sewing when I was in Nigeria.
00:23:56.380 --> 00:23:57.600
But now I don't sew anymore.
00:23:57.900 --> 00:23:58.140
Yeah.
00:23:58.760 --> 00:23:59.940
I mean, for the public.
00:24:00.360 --> 00:24:01.320
I don't sew for myself.
00:24:01.420 --> 00:24:02.700
I definitely sew for my daughter.
00:24:03.040 --> 00:24:03.140
Yeah.
00:24:03.820 --> 00:24:09.900
So, I mean, that's another practical example is per time.
00:24:10.100 --> 00:24:13.040
How does it apply to, oh, where I am?
00:24:13.300 --> 00:24:15.980
Is God still allowing me to do this at this particular time?
00:24:16.040 --> 00:24:18.620
Or is he going to imagine me juggling all of that together?
00:24:18.660 --> 00:24:20.060
I don't think I'll be able to cope.
00:24:20.580 --> 00:24:22.180
So, is it draining you?
00:24:23.760 --> 00:24:24.500
Okay, fine.
00:24:25.660 --> 00:24:28.300
Everything I'm doing is to glorify God, but it's still draining me.
00:24:28.360 --> 00:24:29.440
Go back to God.
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:31.660
Go back to God.
00:24:31.720 --> 00:24:34.360
before God will say, did I ask you to do it?
00:24:35.220 --> 00:24:36.220
And ask God for it.
00:24:36.300 --> 00:24:39.100
If it's that, God will give you strength to continue doing it.
00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:40.260
He will give you strength.
00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:43.440
If he will give you instruction or wisdom and say,
00:24:43.820 --> 00:24:45.440
I think you should park this thing for now.
00:24:46.060 --> 00:24:48.640
Or maybe you should train somebody else to do these things to support you
00:24:48.740 --> 00:24:49.900
or find some kind of help.
00:24:50.480 --> 00:24:51.260
Do you know what I mean?
00:24:52.360 --> 00:24:56.380
God will always give us wisdom when we ask for it.
00:24:57.460 --> 00:25:03.480
So that goes to say that we don't have to try to be everything
00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:05.000
because we're trying to fulfill purpose.
00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:08.960
We have to continually go to God,
00:25:09.800 --> 00:25:11.860
ask Him if we should continue doing it
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:15.320
and if we should, you know, take a little bit of a break.
00:25:16.080 --> 00:25:17.340
I remember when I had my daughter,
00:25:18.639 --> 00:25:21.020
I was putting myself under a little bit of pressure
00:25:21.240 --> 00:25:23.160
because I wanted to go back to my business and all of that.
00:25:24.180 --> 00:25:24.720
Calm down.
00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:26.980
Calm down, don't worry.
00:25:27.700 --> 00:25:33.160
and by the special grace of God when I went back to my business God made a way made things very easy
00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:41.060
by the special grace of God I've been doing well so I'm just sharing that as an experience that can
00:25:41.520 --> 00:25:47.180
encourage somebody and say oh so why should I let my life go to waste why should I let my skills go
00:25:47.180 --> 00:25:53.039
to waste because of because sometimes you're trying to do everything and jack of all trades
00:25:53.060 --> 00:26:00.260
master of none so yeah i think that that's a very important aspect to say god is like the one that's
00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:07.140
at the center so no matter how many skills it is that you have if you're not doing them like yeah
00:26:07.260 --> 00:26:13.280
even if you feel like you're doing it to glorify god if you are not called if god has not told you
00:26:13.420 --> 00:26:21.618
to do it it's like you're just wasting the effort and it is too stressful to waste those efforts so
00:26:21.640 --> 00:26:26.960
it's just better to really get the guidance for God and that's that point that you said having that
00:26:27.180 --> 00:26:32.080
continuous conversation with God is like the most important thing about our life that there shouldn't
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:38.780
be any step that we are taking without God not knowing or we asking for direction to say oh okay
00:26:39.080 --> 00:26:44.880
now I know that I can dance am I to dance in church choreography should I do that if God says no then
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:49.359
you should pause and something else that I also wanted to our life from what you said is that it
00:26:49.380 --> 00:26:56.980
is okay to take a pause from things if god says stop it is okay nobody like i feel like a lot of
00:26:57.060 --> 00:27:01.440
people care about what people would say i'm like oh i've been in the church i've been i'm the choir
00:27:01.600 --> 00:27:08.420
master i'm the one that's leading everybody now why will i pause if god says stop stop i feel like
00:27:08.420 --> 00:27:15.259
we should try to normalize that yes and not make people feel guilty for stopping things i agree i
00:27:15.280 --> 00:27:17.920
I joined my voice with yours to amplify that statement.
00:27:18.890 --> 00:27:19.000
Yeah.
00:27:19.480 --> 00:27:23.520
Because that's one of the reasons why people burn out.
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:24.080
Yes.
00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:29.880
Because they're like, if I say I want to take a break, how is it going to sound like?
00:27:30.020 --> 00:27:30.720
What do people think?
00:27:30.860 --> 00:27:32.580
Oh, do you think I'm maybe falling into sin?
00:27:33.000 --> 00:27:33.320
Yes.
00:27:34.020 --> 00:27:34.680
And all of that.
00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:40.760
But again, sometimes people just feel that way and then they don't take any action.
00:27:41.420 --> 00:27:42.820
And then they feel that people will judge them.
00:27:42.830 --> 00:27:45.020
But they didn't even try in the first place.
00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:49.220
But I think it's okay to actually take a break.
00:27:49.640 --> 00:27:50.680
Like actually rest.
00:27:50.780 --> 00:27:55.440
Even God rested on the seventh day after he had created Orish Rishio.
00:27:55.960 --> 00:27:58.600
After he had created all sorts of things.
00:27:59.200 --> 00:28:03.260
And I think it's very notable that God decided to take a break.
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:05.100
And it was recorded in the scripture.
00:28:05.620 --> 00:28:05.820
Yes.
00:28:06.460 --> 00:28:12.000
I mean, I'm not saying that we should become slothful or run away from, you know, whatever we should be doing.
00:28:12.560 --> 00:28:17.960
or what so there has to be a balance just to say just to put that out there there has to be a balance
00:28:18.220 --> 00:28:26.060
but of course if you feel like absolutely like definitely talk to somebody and say please can I
00:28:26.580 --> 00:28:32.460
take a break can I can I pause because sometimes you need to go back draw some energy and
00:28:33.100 --> 00:28:39.399
be rejuvenated and come back so that you're not going out of yeah out of an empty cup yeah and I
00:28:39.420 --> 00:28:44.800
think something else that um that is important is that sometimes god just wants our attention more
00:28:45.080 --> 00:28:48.880
and i think that's the most important thing if god wants your attention more and says
00:28:49.360 --> 00:28:54.120
pause other things i just want you to be with me just go to church and come back home don't join
00:28:54.240 --> 00:28:59.480
any uni don't do anything that is my purpose for you now in this season there was this podcast that
00:28:59.480 --> 00:29:03.560
i listened to the shining lights i show i don't know okay i think i've heard i think i've heard
00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:07.579
yeah yeah so i don't i can't remember the name of the woman that came one time and she was like oh
00:29:07.600 --> 00:29:11.720
I think she's like a pastor I can't remember but she's like she's always having programs always
00:29:11.880 --> 00:29:16.780
doing things and she said at the point of her life God told her to pause everything and just be at
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:22.580
home and she was like should I start training should I do training in the house like she was you
00:29:22.600 --> 00:29:29.680
know she's used to doing things and when she paused it felt like oh my gosh am I am I did I
00:29:29.800 --> 00:29:35.179
hear God right did I do this thing right it's just to say that sometimes God can actually request that
00:29:35.520 --> 00:29:39.820
we pause everything that we are doing because she said at that moment that god really wanted
00:29:41.220 --> 00:29:47.120
attention more she was giving too much than she was with him like i don't know i'm just paraphrasing
00:29:47.260 --> 00:29:51.380
i'm saying that's exactly that she had said but that's how it sounded like in my ears which is
00:29:51.760 --> 00:29:57.060
very justifiable to say god feels like you are giving too much to the world and he himself is
00:29:57.180 --> 00:30:02.219
having of you it would have you pause all those things just so that you can have that
00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:06.760
continue a relationship with you because that's the basics if you don't have that relationship you
00:30:06.880 --> 00:30:13.460
can't even share with anybody or give it out to anybody so i think that rest is important and as
00:30:13.600 --> 00:30:18.020
people that are supporting people in life whenever we have somebody that says they need to take a
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:23.300
break let's support them as long as they're doing it according to the will of course not that they're
00:30:23.830 --> 00:30:28.499
just tired and say oh i'm tired but like if they're actually doing it based upon what god has said
00:30:28.520 --> 00:30:34.480
let's not say are you sure don't make them feel like oh it's bad right give them that grace to
00:30:34.560 --> 00:30:39.280
say okay pause i would pray with you and when you're ready to start again we're here to support
00:30:39.370 --> 00:30:44.260
you again i think that's very important um yeah that's very good i think something else that we
00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:54.219
talked about in the one that was not recorded was um if somebody that how should i put this question
00:30:55.280 --> 00:31:01.700
people that have okay in the point of people that have purpose that seems to be
00:31:02.440 --> 00:31:08.020
horse shining and like you know there's people that have that purpose that they are up front that
00:31:08.140 --> 00:31:11.740
people are seeing them because of their purpose that god has called into and there's some people
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:18.240
that their purpose are the silent ones and what advice would you give to i wouldn't say maybe advice
00:31:18.350 --> 00:31:23.219
because somebody that now feels that their own purpose is less oh god nasi ashko man be sweeping
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:24.500
and she's
00:31:25.260 --> 00:31:27.180
this is what she's doing
00:31:27.600 --> 00:31:29.320
you know so how would you address something
00:31:29.320 --> 00:31:30.860
like that if you had to give somebody
00:31:31.220 --> 00:31:32.440
a counsel or something
00:31:32.700 --> 00:31:35.100
I'm gonna take it away from where you talked about
00:31:35.560 --> 00:31:35.800
sweeping
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:38.980
and to be
00:31:39.440 --> 00:31:40.700
honest to be fair
00:31:42.300 --> 00:31:42.580
like
00:31:43.500 --> 00:31:45.040
talking about an average human
00:31:45.280 --> 00:31:46.540
that is
00:31:47.060 --> 00:31:48.000
you know
00:31:49.060 --> 00:31:50.819
healthy and happy
00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:53.720
and an all-around person,
00:31:54.980 --> 00:31:57.560
you'd find that nobody wants to be in a dirty space.
00:31:57.560 --> 00:31:58.220
Yeah, fair.
00:31:58.860 --> 00:31:59.080
Right?
00:31:59.960 --> 00:32:02.160
So I just gave that example because
00:32:05.200 --> 00:32:07.960
it's as important as,
00:32:09.080 --> 00:32:10.640
like, let's use the church, for example,
00:32:10.880 --> 00:32:12.980
the pastor going on stage.
00:32:13.090 --> 00:32:14.100
I know somebody will be like,
00:32:14.300 --> 00:32:16.680
you can't equate the pastor's preaching,
00:32:17.060 --> 00:32:17.900
standing in front of people,
00:32:18.450 --> 00:32:19.720
to somebody that is sleeping.
00:32:21.660 --> 00:32:21.880
true.
00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:25.320
The magnitude, the weight of the assignment
00:32:25.510 --> 00:32:26.360
might be different.
00:32:26.690 --> 00:32:28.140
The calling might be different.
00:32:29.000 --> 00:32:31.120
But every single part is important.
00:32:31.330 --> 00:32:32.680
Just like the body of Christ.
00:32:33.740 --> 00:32:34.900
You know, the scripture said it.
00:32:35.980 --> 00:32:38.520
That just as important as the head is,
00:32:39.120 --> 00:32:39.840
the hands,
00:32:40.400 --> 00:32:41.260
because, I mean,
00:32:41.600 --> 00:32:43.120
have you ever had
00:32:43.760 --> 00:32:45.760
like a broken bone somewhere in your body before?
00:32:46.580 --> 00:32:48.799
You know, by pain in a particular pattern.
00:32:48.820 --> 00:32:53.460
Yeah, like even some very tiny, I don't know what that thing is called,
00:32:53.760 --> 00:32:56.060
where you have some very severe pain.
00:32:56.080 --> 00:32:57.300
You can't even sleep at night.
00:32:57.780 --> 00:32:58.700
And it's not your head.
00:32:59.100 --> 00:33:01.620
It's probably not your legs that are carrying you to walk.
00:33:02.820 --> 00:33:07.200
Just goes to say that every single part of the body is important, matters,
00:33:07.480 --> 00:33:08.440
just like the body of Christ.
00:33:08.620 --> 00:33:12.640
Every single part of the body of Christ put together, they matter.
00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.580
I gave that background to say that if you think that your assignment
00:33:17.600 --> 00:33:20.840
or what you are doing looks like it is small.
00:33:21.520 --> 00:33:24.320
That small part, God wants it.
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:26.100
God needs it.
00:33:26.770 --> 00:33:28.060
And that's why he has put you there.
00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:30.160
Continue to do what you are doing.
00:33:32.000 --> 00:33:36.780
Be happy, be proud, be thankful because it is a privilege.
00:33:37.140 --> 00:33:38.860
We're talking about God's will here.
00:33:38.890 --> 00:33:40.180
We're talking about assignment.
00:33:40.190 --> 00:33:44.180
We're talking about what God has committed into your hands.
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:47.080
We're talking about what God has called you to do.
00:33:47.300 --> 00:33:50.000
I think it's a very big deal because it's a privilege.
00:33:50.260 --> 00:33:50.740
It is.
00:33:51.340 --> 00:33:53.320
So, somebody is not sweeping it.
00:33:54.300 --> 00:33:56.660
If the people that are supposed to sweep the church
00:33:56.760 --> 00:33:59.660
do not sweep for a full month straight,
00:34:00.620 --> 00:34:04.660
somebody will decide to watch from home one of the comments on this.
00:34:05.120 --> 00:34:07.240
Even though they will not try to sweep the floor,
00:34:07.540 --> 00:34:10.679
they will say, ah, the church has been too dirty for some time.
00:34:12.320 --> 00:34:13.580
The person that is praying,
00:34:14.440 --> 00:34:15.960
what is saying that they are praying,
00:34:17.040 --> 00:34:20.000
they are doing a whole lot in the spiritual realm.
00:34:20.040 --> 00:34:20.700
Yes, yes.
00:34:21.100 --> 00:34:23.139
Which is very, very important.
00:34:24.560 --> 00:34:28.700
So, that assignment that you are doing that you think is not important,
00:34:28.879 --> 00:34:32.480
I think sometimes, you know, there's a saying that goes that
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:35.100
we don't value a thing until we lose it.
00:34:35.270 --> 00:34:35.379
Yeah.
00:34:36.720 --> 00:34:38.740
So, just imagine that those people are not doing those things.
00:34:38.899 --> 00:34:41.460
I think that's when it will make sense that they are very important.
00:34:42.179 --> 00:34:47.139
So my advice to such people is continue to do what you are doing.
00:34:47.940 --> 00:34:49.220
Your focus here is God.
00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:50.620
You know what people are saying.
00:34:51.000 --> 00:34:53.720
I know sometimes when people are like, why am I the one that is backstage?
00:34:53.980 --> 00:34:55.520
Why am I not in the limelight?
00:34:55.540 --> 00:34:56.340
Why am I not in the limelight?
00:34:57.220 --> 00:35:01.760
The God that sees in secret, he blesses anyone openly, secretly,
00:35:02.100 --> 00:35:03.380
anyhow he chooses to do it.
00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:07.680
And I think that should be the most important thing that we're focusing on is,
00:35:08.600 --> 00:35:10.900
God, I'm doing this thing with the whole of my heart.
00:35:11.280 --> 00:35:15.740
diligently to serve God, to fulfill the assignment that He has called me for.
00:35:16.440 --> 00:35:17.280
And that's all that matters.
00:35:17.780 --> 00:35:18.220
Yes.
00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:22.560
Anybody that compares himself, Bible says,
00:35:22.720 --> 00:35:26.640
if you compare yourself with another person, you are a fool.
00:35:26.720 --> 00:35:28.060
I didn't say the Bible said it.
00:35:29.820 --> 00:35:32.140
Yeah, because when we talk about comparison,
00:35:32.500 --> 00:35:34.300
what's the scale that we are comparing with?
00:35:35.820 --> 00:35:38.120
What is the metric that we are measuring with?
00:35:38.200 --> 00:35:39.580
What's our basis for measurement?
00:35:39.840 --> 00:35:41.220
say oh this person
00:35:42.020 --> 00:35:43.920
in fact sometimes for people that are even on the stage
00:35:44.040 --> 00:35:45.420
they are still begging God that God please
00:35:46.140 --> 00:35:47.160
help my life
00:35:48.060 --> 00:35:49.240
not to remove me like that
00:35:49.580 --> 00:35:51.400
everybody has dealings like
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:53.960
so it doesn't matter who is
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:55.840
who is being seen or who is not
00:35:55.900 --> 00:35:57.740
being seen in fact people that are being seen are praying
00:35:57.840 --> 00:35:59.680
that God please don't let them see me let them see
00:35:59.880 --> 00:36:01.380
only you you know it's
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:03.040
it's just ironic but
00:36:03.540 --> 00:36:05.640
my word to such people is
00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:07.160
continue to do what you are doing
00:36:07.720 --> 00:36:14.540
do it do it with all of your heart do it all of your strength do it with all the joy that you can
00:36:14.540 --> 00:36:22.700
do it because you are very important yeah i think that's a very good way to you know explain it to
00:36:22.700 --> 00:36:27.520
say every part of it like you said the example that you gave like the body everything works
00:36:27.760 --> 00:36:33.880
together for the good the whole part of the body is like the body of christ so every part of it has
00:36:33.900 --> 00:36:41.080
to be filled for it to function properly so for you to be part of that body is a privilege because
00:36:41.200 --> 00:36:47.380
you are helping the old body function properly so i think if you start seeing it in that light of that
00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:53.020
it's not that oh i'm doing the less one i'm also part of the body the kidney or the lungs cannot say
00:36:53.220 --> 00:36:58.920
okay i'm not doing anything today like it's also part of the body so they are all valued even the
00:36:58.940 --> 00:37:04.420
toe the fingers that everybody is valued in the old body nobody's yeah you don't talk about the
00:37:04.500 --> 00:37:09.300
body even if they have individual names everybody's to say oh my i'm feeling okay like you know the
00:37:09.420 --> 00:37:15.200
old body is working properly so i think it's a privilege to even be part of the body of christ
00:37:15.620 --> 00:37:20.340
as i like you said because i know there are some people that are outside they don't even have a
00:37:20.600 --> 00:37:26.140
knowledge of god and that baffles me a lot to say some people don't even know that this is what god
00:37:26.160 --> 00:37:32.180
can do and it's scary because we we have that privilege and sometimes we just want to misuse it
00:37:32.500 --> 00:37:37.000
so people don't know that somebody can heal them yeah sick and they don't know that it's healing from
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:43.000
a supernatural being they don't know that they can walk again so you don't know so the grace that we
00:37:43.160 --> 00:37:49.720
have that privilege that we know a man that can do all things and that man has called us to not do
00:37:49.740 --> 00:37:56.120
something then you're not like oh i'm not going to do this on me i want that one who are you
00:37:57.060 --> 00:38:03.300
who are you i think when we start to see it in that light it makes us even more thankful
00:38:04.040 --> 00:38:10.400
that thank you jesus that i'm doing something for you it's a privilege to do something yeah that's
00:38:10.560 --> 00:38:15.260
solid perspective yeah you know i was just thinking about sometimes it's just about the
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:21.820
perspective i was reading something um a couple of weeks ago about somebody saying how about you
00:38:22.020 --> 00:38:28.300
change the way you approach some particular things like for example you're like um i'm so tired and
00:38:28.500 --> 00:38:35.220
exhausted about this job you know um i see this thing a lot on the internet where someone's saying
00:38:35.740 --> 00:38:43.400
um me going to the job i prayed i fasted for looking sad i'm like no anyways i don't want to
00:38:43.420 --> 00:38:44.700
I don't want to go into that.
00:38:44.740 --> 00:38:50.000
But talking about perspective, it's like, oh, I'm exhausted from this job or from this life.
00:38:50.160 --> 00:38:52.980
How about you say, oh, God, I'm thankful for this privilege.
00:38:54.460 --> 00:38:56.880
So it's more of perspective.
00:38:57.060 --> 00:39:01.880
And honestly, two people can make those different statements.
00:39:02.120 --> 00:39:03.560
And they're actually trying to say the same thing.
00:39:03.660 --> 00:39:09.320
They're both exhausted, but they're like, oh, God, I'm exhausted, but I'm thankful at least for this privilege.
00:39:10.060 --> 00:39:13.700
that I can't even do this job that is bringing money in,
00:39:13.860 --> 00:39:16.100
that is taking care of me, taking care of my family.
00:39:17.160 --> 00:39:18.220
I'm tired, I'm exhausted.
00:39:18.300 --> 00:39:22.160
Lord, I need your strength, but I'm just thankful for this privilege.
00:39:22.340 --> 00:39:25.660
So it's a whole lot about perspective.
00:39:27.140 --> 00:39:29.220
Look at Jesus when he was about to be crucified.
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:34.740
He was like, Lord, I just wish that you would take this cup away from me.
00:39:35.680 --> 00:39:39.320
I can't imagine the way Jesus Christ was feeling at that point.
00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:44.020
Because this man knew the reason why he came is God.
00:39:45.420 --> 00:39:47.860
Like this man is actually God.
00:39:48.940 --> 00:39:50.960
And he knew that the only reason why I'm here,
00:39:51.240 --> 00:39:53.160
I was born in a manger.
00:39:53.360 --> 00:39:54.140
I came as a baby.
00:39:54.160 --> 00:39:55.160
I didn't come as a old person.
00:39:55.220 --> 00:39:56.060
I came as a baby.
00:39:56.540 --> 00:39:56.920
I grew.
00:39:57.440 --> 00:39:58.480
My father was a carpenter.
00:39:59.020 --> 00:40:00.120
I went to the synagogue.
00:40:00.660 --> 00:40:01.460
I did this.
00:40:01.700 --> 00:40:02.420
I did that.
00:40:02.660 --> 00:40:04.240
All of this is leading me to somewhere.
00:40:05.300 --> 00:40:07.280
I'm supposed to go and die, right?
00:40:07.840 --> 00:40:08.240
Yeah.
00:40:08.720 --> 00:40:09.440
He knew.
00:40:10.320 --> 00:40:13.200
But then along the line, he became scared.
00:40:14.220 --> 00:40:14.960
I was like, eh?
00:40:15.110 --> 00:40:16.880
So they were really, really human.
00:40:17.300 --> 00:40:18.460
Heal me like this.
00:40:20.300 --> 00:40:24.600
And to be honest, if God decided at that point that he's not going to do it again.
00:40:24.670 --> 00:40:24.980
He's not going to do it again.
00:40:24.980 --> 00:40:26.340
He's not going to do it again.
00:40:28.460 --> 00:40:29.980
He's not going to do it again.
00:40:30.460 --> 00:40:34.220
I don't see Ujina because, I mean, in fact, it's even his trio.
00:40:34.640 --> 00:40:36.720
So, we would have just been yelling about it.
00:40:37.020 --> 00:40:37.360
Okay.
00:40:38.120 --> 00:40:38.720
He don't say that.
00:40:38.900 --> 00:40:39.580
He's not done anything.
00:40:42.780 --> 00:40:43.940
Anyway, that's on a lighter note.
00:40:44.160 --> 00:40:46.880
But, you know, he expressed himself.
00:40:47.620 --> 00:40:48.320
That's where I'm going.
00:40:49.180 --> 00:40:50.400
He expressed himself.
00:40:50.530 --> 00:40:51.900
He expressed his frustration.
00:40:52.110 --> 00:40:53.360
He expressed his fear.
00:40:53.960 --> 00:40:55.880
He expressed his worries, concern.
00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:59.220
But then, it's like, okay.
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:07.640
this is your will let your will be done so perspective the way we are responding is also
00:41:07.980 --> 00:41:14.480
important so yeah yeah i feel like that's and the perspective that should matter the most should be
00:41:14.480 --> 00:41:19.980
the perspective of what is god seeing i feel like when we start seeing from the point of view that
00:41:20.480 --> 00:41:28.100
i'm just a child with this man then things i just feel like things would become better there'll be more
00:41:28.380 --> 00:41:30.000
of Thanksgiving than
00:41:30.620 --> 00:41:32.060
you know like frustration
00:41:32.400 --> 00:41:34.020
or any other thing that we feel
00:41:34.620 --> 00:41:36.260
at that moment I feel like last month
00:41:36.320 --> 00:41:38.140
was the month that God was really teaching me about
00:41:38.340 --> 00:41:39.820
Thanksgiving and now it's not just
00:41:40.260 --> 00:41:42.200
when things are bubbling that I would
00:41:42.380 --> 00:41:44.200
give thanks and that really struck because I was
00:41:44.380 --> 00:41:45.980
sad I thought I was good with
00:41:46.300 --> 00:41:48.260
being grateful but then I understood
00:41:48.440 --> 00:41:50.320
that I've always been grateful only
00:41:50.500 --> 00:41:51.740
when things please me
00:41:52.120 --> 00:41:54.000
and when things do not please me I'm like
00:41:54.080 --> 00:41:56.220
I'll complain first I'll complain
00:41:56.240 --> 00:41:58.160
and go everywhere and then come back and say, oh, thank you.
00:41:58.460 --> 00:42:00.180
You know, so it made me understand.
00:42:00.270 --> 00:42:03.400
But when I said to see from this perspective that it's a privilege,
00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:05.000
we don't deserve it.
00:42:05.390 --> 00:42:05.960
No, we don't.
00:42:06.120 --> 00:42:07.600
You don't, yeah.
00:42:07.990 --> 00:42:09.980
You might as well be on the street.
00:42:10.240 --> 00:42:10.720
Who knows?
00:42:11.200 --> 00:42:13.860
It's a privilege that you were counted among those people.
00:42:14.280 --> 00:42:15.820
So when we start seeing it from that perspective,
00:42:15.940 --> 00:42:18.600
you even make us take purpose even more seriously.
00:42:18.660 --> 00:42:19.220
That's right.
00:42:19.470 --> 00:42:21.220
Because now you're saying that it's a privilege.
00:42:21.450 --> 00:42:22.380
Oh, some people are on this.
00:42:22.500 --> 00:42:23.940
What if I was never given this?
00:42:24.160 --> 00:42:25.120
What if I don't know God?
00:42:25.380 --> 00:42:26.140
How would my life be?
00:42:26.370 --> 00:42:27.920
I don't know how my life would be.
00:42:28.380 --> 00:42:29.060
Oh, my gosh.
00:42:29.540 --> 00:42:31.420
You know, when you start to think that way,
00:42:31.750 --> 00:42:34.940
you take everything with God even more seriously.
00:42:35.120 --> 00:42:35.260
Right.
00:42:35.620 --> 00:42:36.000
That's right.
00:42:36.200 --> 00:42:41.400
Imagine there's a class that has, like, 20 students in it.
00:42:42.160 --> 00:42:44.500
And then, remember when you were in primary school.
00:42:44.720 --> 00:42:44.840
Yeah.
00:42:45.220 --> 00:42:46.660
And then your teacher starts calling people,
00:42:49.940 --> 00:42:52.260
you'll be the one to be in charge of the exercise books.
00:42:52.350 --> 00:42:53.580
Make sure you collect your people's exercise.
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:55.800
your classmates exercise book every morning.
00:42:57.260 --> 00:43:00.860
Toasting, you are in charge of the pencils and the barrels.
00:43:01.500 --> 00:43:04.440
Make sure that everything is well talked away and arranged and everything.
00:43:06.240 --> 00:43:09.000
David, make sure that you clean the board every morning and, you know.
00:43:10.040 --> 00:43:12.020
And then they call every single person.
00:43:12.300 --> 00:43:13.620
Call the first 15 people.
00:43:15.020 --> 00:43:15.680
Oh, my God.
00:43:15.800 --> 00:43:18.660
I'm sure the last five people will be like, ah, what is wrong?
00:43:18.880 --> 00:43:21.820
They will be waiting for when the teacher will call them.
00:43:23.180 --> 00:43:27.840
Now, some people will say, I don't want anybody to give me any responsibility before.
00:43:28.840 --> 00:43:31.800
And that is not the virtue that God wants of us.
00:43:32.920 --> 00:43:33.000
Right.
00:43:33.320 --> 00:43:34.940
So it is a privilege.
00:43:35.430 --> 00:43:39.100
Just like the teacher is calling everybody and giving them an assignment and say, do this, do this, do that.
00:43:39.540 --> 00:43:41.240
Everybody wants to be perfect.
00:43:42.380 --> 00:43:42.740
Right?
00:43:43.260 --> 00:43:46.580
Except people that are irresponsible, that they don't want to give anybody.
00:43:47.240 --> 00:43:49.460
And that's not who we are as Christians, as children of God.
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.660
So as long as we are children of God, we are giving our life to Christ.
00:43:54.480 --> 00:43:55.240
Okay, thank you, Lisbeth.
00:43:55.240 --> 00:43:55.780
I remember that.
00:43:55.950 --> 00:43:57.320
So when you give your life to somebody,
00:43:57.850 --> 00:43:59.940
and you say, this person, I give you my life,
00:44:00.260 --> 00:44:05.460
take it, you already know that this person can do anything with that life.
00:44:06.120 --> 00:44:09.380
So you are coming already as a, you're already in a state of,
00:44:10.140 --> 00:44:12.160
I don't want, I'm not going to use the word disadvantage
00:44:12.380 --> 00:44:14.280
or like we're enslaved to God.
00:44:14.390 --> 00:44:16.240
No, because we are kings and we are priests.
00:44:16.380 --> 00:44:17.360
That's what God has made us.
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:20.020
But still, once we give our lives to Christ,
00:44:20.220 --> 00:44:23.700
We are telling God that if I come at me and I say,
00:44:23.820 --> 00:44:25.380
Juliana, I want to give my life to you.
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:29.140
On my way out, I expect you to say, oh, come back here.
00:44:29.260 --> 00:44:30.720
Go and do this for me.
00:44:31.030 --> 00:44:31.680
You know what I mean?
00:44:32.220 --> 00:44:33.140
So same thing.
00:44:33.190 --> 00:44:37.520
If we give our lives to Christ, we already know that God can give us any,
00:44:38.500 --> 00:44:39.540
you know, assignments.
00:44:40.060 --> 00:44:41.520
He can call us into anything.
00:44:42.240 --> 00:44:46.540
He can decide to disrupt the trajectory of our lives.
00:44:46.650 --> 00:44:49.380
I say he wants things to go this way instead of that way.
00:44:50.120 --> 00:44:55.280
So that's to establish the fact that we are not coming to God as irresponsible people.
00:44:55.900 --> 00:44:58.140
We definitely want irresponsibility.
00:44:58.800 --> 00:45:01.860
So it's a privilege for him to say, now go ahead and do this.
00:45:02.020 --> 00:45:02.980
I'm sending you to the nations.
00:45:03.180 --> 00:45:04.380
Do you know how that sounds?
00:45:05.660 --> 00:45:09.200
Like, I think it's actually a big privilege.
00:45:10.000 --> 00:45:14.060
Something to be thankful for and hold it there to one's heart and say,
00:45:14.120 --> 00:45:17.560
oh, God is actually sending, is committing lives into my hands.
00:45:18.080 --> 00:45:21.280
It's committing this assignment into my hands.
00:45:22.080 --> 00:45:24.520
And then, like, no, I'm going to run with it.
00:45:24.530 --> 00:45:26.280
And I'm not going to stay too far from this God.
00:45:26.420 --> 00:45:28.260
Give me directions and instructions.
00:45:29.240 --> 00:45:36.900
You know, I'm always very intrigued every time I read about the story of how the temple was built
00:45:37.120 --> 00:45:39.120
and the specifics that God was given.
00:45:39.860 --> 00:45:42.060
I was like, come on, you guys.
00:45:42.380 --> 00:45:43.160
Oh, my God.
00:45:43.210 --> 00:45:44.540
You guys were hearing God speak.
00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:45.640
Oh, Lord.
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:46.280
Right?
00:45:47.280 --> 00:45:50.960
Like the specifics of how God was saying,
00:45:52.780 --> 00:45:54.400
the heights will be like this,
00:45:55.100 --> 00:45:57.060
this is how the color should be,
00:45:57.080 --> 00:45:58.480
this is where this should be placed,
00:45:58.640 --> 00:45:59.220
this should be...
00:46:00.340 --> 00:46:00.920
Oh my goodness.
00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:02.920
That was...
00:46:03.860 --> 00:46:04.900
Every time I read that scripture,
00:46:05.100 --> 00:46:06.040
I'm always intrigued.
00:46:06.240 --> 00:46:10.000
I'm like, there is no way you will not be able to hear God
00:46:10.040 --> 00:46:11.220
and God has given you specifics.
00:46:11.580 --> 00:46:13.500
Come on, if someone is saying that God gave me specifics,
00:46:13.700 --> 00:46:14.840
I believe them.
00:46:14.980 --> 00:46:15.120
Yeah.
00:46:15.500 --> 00:46:17.040
I believe them because it's true.
00:46:17.200 --> 00:46:24.480
God, even when Noah was building the hack, like, spot on, this is how I want you to do
00:46:24.580 --> 00:46:24.700
this.
00:46:24.780 --> 00:46:28.540
So, I mean, I forgot what we're talking about.
00:46:29.380 --> 00:46:29.760
It's okay.
00:46:30.240 --> 00:46:34.560
I think we're talking about, you know, like, you know, purpose and being thankful for the
00:46:34.660 --> 00:46:36.500
grace to be involved in something.
00:46:36.520 --> 00:46:37.700
Yeah, it is a privilege.
00:46:37.940 --> 00:46:38.380
Yeah, it is.
00:46:38.880 --> 00:46:42.240
I think that this is just a very beautiful way to round off.
00:46:42.920 --> 00:46:47.340
if you are being just so chipping a little bit to say if you have been like you know struggling a
00:46:47.410 --> 00:46:52.540
little bit with what you should pray about i think this is another thing to pray about so being thankful
00:46:53.220 --> 00:46:58.840
that you have the privilege to be called by him i think that's what pastor the lack of will say
00:46:58.870 --> 00:47:03.800
there was one time that he said that one and that really just talked to me was like it's a grace that
00:47:04.020 --> 00:47:11.440
god that people know me because of god like yeah i'm a come i'm how did he put it like my name is now
00:47:11.460 --> 00:47:13.220
with God. I think people mention
00:47:13.780 --> 00:47:15.320
Pastor Dolapur, all they remember that
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:16.960
is like a life of Christ.
00:47:17.310 --> 00:47:18.360
I think it's a privilege.
00:47:19.070 --> 00:47:21.180
I think it's a big deal.
00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:23.220
So I feel like, yeah,
00:47:23.540 --> 00:47:25.500
in case you've been wondering, you don't know what to pray
00:47:25.680 --> 00:47:27.240
about, that's something to be thankful
00:47:27.480 --> 00:47:29.380
about again. And yeah, do you have
00:47:29.500 --> 00:47:30.440
any other things to think?
00:47:30.900 --> 00:47:33.280
Yeah, I think what I just want to say, somebody is probably
00:47:33.600 --> 00:47:35.340
asking, so how do I now align with this
00:47:35.490 --> 00:47:37.260
purpose, right? I think
00:47:37.460 --> 00:47:38.700
what I'm going to say is
00:47:38.720 --> 00:47:41.440
definitely, definitely hold on to God.
00:47:42.540 --> 00:47:44.880
That's like the number one key factor.
00:47:47.800 --> 00:47:50.520
Finding God, continually seeking Him.
00:47:53.780 --> 00:47:56.720
Finding God, continually seeking Him,
00:47:57.880 --> 00:47:58.820
fellowshipping with Him,
00:47:59.860 --> 00:48:01.780
checking in with God from time to time.
00:48:02.020 --> 00:48:04.840
Have a consistent fellowship with God.
00:48:05.130 --> 00:48:07.680
And that's the way we can.
00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:11.480
Because, I mean, if you don't have a relationship with somebody, how do they even want to share anything with you?
00:48:11.550 --> 00:48:14.060
How do they even want to be intimate with you?
00:48:14.580 --> 00:48:21.700
So, yeah, having that ongoing, constant relationship with God is very important.
00:48:22.680 --> 00:48:26.560
Now, after you have now come, God has called you and everything.
00:48:27.240 --> 00:48:29.960
There's a part of what we have to do.
00:48:31.640 --> 00:48:34.860
There's a part of our own responsibility, putting in the work.
00:48:35.600 --> 00:48:46.500
We have to be willing to obey, aligning with God, obey, surrendering ourselves, doing the hard work, you know.
00:48:47.160 --> 00:48:57.260
So all of those things, those are the ways that we can align with God, that we can keep on staying on track with God.
00:48:57.600 --> 00:48:57.920
Yeah.
00:48:58.540 --> 00:48:58.720
Yeah.
00:48:59.190 --> 00:49:03.340
I think that's like very good to round off and take off with.
00:49:03.480 --> 00:49:07.200
I think it's important that, you know, just to round everything off.
00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:11.280
This is not just for people that are just finding purpose today or yesterday.
00:49:12.060 --> 00:49:12.720
It's also you.
00:49:12.760 --> 00:49:14.160
We have known purpose since forever.
00:49:14.700 --> 00:49:17.000
And, you know, we just always want to be in alignment.
00:49:17.280 --> 00:49:20.680
I feel like that's another prayer point if we don't know what to pray about today.
00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:23.660
To just keep being in alignment and allow this will to be done.
00:49:24.100 --> 00:49:27.220
You know, so I feel like this has answered so many people's questions.
00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:33.640
those that um i've been in purpose for a while and those that are just you know starting off and
00:49:33.720 --> 00:49:39.260
okay how do i start and remember we spoke about those little things you know your position as a
00:49:39.420 --> 00:49:45.860
child your position in the church your position as a in the family as a father a mother a daughter
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:52.380
all those things are also the little purpose that he has given us as well and as much as they are
00:49:52.400 --> 00:49:59.260
important as the big one like we have said um i think this is a good way to round off um yeah it
00:49:59.290 --> 00:50:06.100
