(So what did I do? I turned back to Jesus. Abi na, who else? After trying to get human perspectives and trying to encourage myself and still feeling like things are foggy. I turned to Him and began to ask questions and pray. Of course I first asked the wrong questions, then with the help of the Holy Spirit, I began to ask the right questions…..
To be continued…)
We Are Back!!!
Let’s continue shall we……
Of course I first asked the wrong questions, then with the help of the Holy Spirit, I began to ask the right questions…..
Earlier in the year, I read ‘In Pursuit of Purpose’ by Myles Munroe, and for a long time now I have been asking God about my purpose here on earth. What would He have me do? Where is He taking me? What’s the plan? And over the years, He spent time bringing me closer to Him and revealing so many things about me and life, that my purpose began to slowly reveal itself. I began to slowly realise who I am in Christ and why I was born.
Now every human being on this earth has one general purpose:
Come to knowledge of Christ and what He did for us.
Grow in our new identity in Christ.
And most importantly, tell everyone about this new identity and make sure everyone knows about Jesus Christ.
In other words, our purpose as one body, when we come into the faith, is to spread the gospel we have freely received to the ends of the earth. That’s why this earth still remains. That’s why we are still here on earth. The Holy Spirit said to me although we are drawing dangerously close to the end, Jesus Christ cannot come yet because there’s still a lot of work to be done on that front.
So this and many more things were being revealed to me gradually, and are still being revealed. In this truth, I began to see myself in God’s plan here on earth. There’s a plan. A Grand Plan! And the world is unknowingly moving in alignment with that plan. A lot of Christians still don’t know that things will get worse instead of better. A lot of Christians still don’t understand the reality of the world we live in. And honestly, that’s why we waste time chasing after the wrong things and fighting battles that are real, big and serious but entirely unnecessary.
Anyway, I’ve found out what it is I am to do here on earth for the sake of The Kingdom of God and God’s people. But the issue is, contrary to the world’s wisdom and the world’s expectation, it is very very unconventional and very very not common. It is going to be common soon, but as of now it isn’t, not yet. In fact, a lot about our world is going to change drastically very soon. But in this moment, here, in this reality, it won’t make a lot of sense to a lot of people.
But these were the things the Holy Spirit started reminding me of, especially as I was intentionally seeking Him. And so, He redirected my focus back to Jesus, back to Him, back to the instructions I received in 2023. And slowly I began to take what was spoken to me and began to do what I was told to do.
I’m writing this to say that life isn’t straightforward. And sometimes it’s easier to settle in life with what is expected, the road most frequently travelled, than it is to take the less travelled road, take a risk and chase after what you desire, what you know is for you.
I’m about to do that, and I promise you, I have absolutely no idea how everything will pan out, but I know it will, eventually. I still don’t have the complete blueprint. I don’t know exactly how everything will fall into place, but then that’s trust. That’s total dependence on God. That’s me knowing that if He is for me, nothing and no one will be able to stand against me. I know it will take time, because what He does is He makes us, whilst we head towards that success story, on the journey, He breaks us, He teaches us, He prunes us, He makes us into the man or woman we need to be to handle much more than we can ever imagine. But that’s the process. That’s the journey. Wayyy more important than the destination. Because it’s in our making we begin to see true light and we realize, it’s not about us alone.
That’s the God I serve. He is in the business of making legacies. He is in the business of creating posterity in the lineage of His children. He doesn’t do things in mediocrity. He isn’t average. But that means taking the risk of taking that first step with Him and never looking back.
I’m figuring life out, I’m taking it one day at a time, but I will keep moving with Him and I will trust the process. I know myself, I may stop on the way, I will cry some more, I won’t understand so many things at first, but I refuse to give up. I will keep pressing on, like Paul, I press towards the mark of the high calling.
That’s what I choose.
I choose God.
Anyway I’m leaving that job now🫠. Pray for me🥹🙏🏽.
I pray that when times get tough, you remain strong and safe and never forget the God is so intentional and detailed about you. Big ups Ruthie.
Can't wait to see you take the world by storms ♥️🔥
