A Matter Of Choice


We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:~ Numbers 11:5

These people have no idea about the nutritional nor the medicinal values of quails. However, they were accusing God of not caring.
There is no amount of benefit outside purpose that can quantify the benefits from purpose; no matter how little or insignificant it seemed at the beginning.
1 Corinthians 3:13-14 says, 
"Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward."
The Israelites were complaining and comparing their situation with the benefits they thought they'd be enjoying while still in Egypt as bond men and women.
I know it is not easy to adapt when, you had an official car with escorts, a large and beautiful office, every one responding to you, yes Sir/Madam in the office.
Now, in pursuit of purpose, it seems as if, it will take forever to get that breakthrough you need. Moreover, people that have known you before now, now see you and snob you.
Please note this, it's a phase; it will pass, if you remain resolute, steadfast and focus, you will soon be a surprise to yourself, if you do not bow to pressure.

Unfortunately, Satan has built prison houses and furnished it with assorted foods, to entice many. Suffice to say that many have been enticed.
Not for long, the doors will be shut and the supply will run out; before many will realize it, it may be too late.
The question to ask one's self is, if my work is tried; after all said and done. Will my work abide? Or will the fire consume them?
Discovery of purpose, and the pursue of same, is key, not the type of food.  

Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

PROSPER

 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2. The mind consist of one's will, intellect and emotions; which is the soul of man. At salvation the spirit of man; which is also referred to as the heart gets quickened or made alive (But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible,... ) 1 Peter 3:4  The heart is saved, the soul is not. You [we] have a duty to save our soul; and it has to be done through studying the word and meditating upon the word, that's when the transformation of mind/soul begins. Romans 12:2  "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." As you spend more time in the Word of God; like a mirror you beginning to see your true identity from it. This is the reason we are admonished to study the Word of God. Satan knows this, so he tries...

BE WISE.

  Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. Ephesians 5:17 God, at different times and in so many ways have tried and still trying to let us know what His will for us is (He never gives up on us) . Same way the devil is endeavouring to distract us from God's purpose for our life through various medium. There is a saying, when purpose of a thing is not known, the abuse of the thing is certain. Using a toddler for an example. He/she have no clue what a remote control to a television is, if they found one. They can drop it a bowl of water if available, and still feels happy about it; simply because they have no idea what it is meant for. But as they grow up their perspective change. Same way, God want us to grow to understand our purpose and His plans for our lives. Unfortunately, Satan have ways of distracting people from the medium made available by God for man to identify or discover his purpose on earth. In other to keep people (grown-ups) in per...
