Word of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 23 Jul 07

Don’t let your fire in you stop burning. Weather through the storms, through the rough seasons, because the moment we stop our fire in us, everything seems to be pointless.

Today’s word of encouragement is something that God has been challenging me recently over the weekend. To look at my whole life, everything!! and making sure it is all “KINGDOM DRIVEN”. Kingdom driven simply means, God is in the driving seat and leading the way, God is in control, God is directing, and finally our entire life is fulfilling the Great Commission, Matthew 28:18-20. If our dreams, hopes and desires are not Kingdom driven, then basically we are not letting go, we are chasing after our own dreams and desires.

Today, as we seek God in prayer we must ask ourselves these questions and probably many more that you can come up with. Firstly, right now in my current job, is it what God wants me to do? Secondly, my vision for my future (which is what I see myself doing years from now), Lord is it Kingdom driven? Thirdly, pray and ask our Father, my future wife/husband is this relationship kingdom driven or is it my own flesh? The more I asked myself these questions, the more I realized that this question has to be asked in every aspect of my life. Today I challenge you to look at your life, everything that you do, everything that you are passionate about, and ask God, is it Kingdom Driven? We all have a dream for our future; make sure it is Kingdom driven because God has a promise for each one of us.

In His book, Romans 12:1-2 God says to us all “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”
