God's Plan vs Man's Ambition


He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.- Matthew 26:42

Our ambition may look very good and somewhat impactful, yet outside of God's will, it will fail miserably in the end.
From the above text, Jesus could've said, I'm doing such a great job, healing the sick, raising dead back to life, feeding the hungry etc., as such, there is no need going to the cross; that process is too difficult and demeaning. You will reckon, he will grow old eventually, and die one day, right? And it would've put a halt to everything he has done (personal ambition).
God knows the end from the beginning, we'd be doing ourselves good when we seek out God's plan, and apply ourselves to it, no matter how difficult it seemed. Because at the end; what will determine our performance is obedience, not our good works or men approval.

Jesus is Lord!

Mark E. Airononi

He's been saying, Press in. Draw in to a more intimate relationship with your heavenly Father. If you don't, you won't make it. If you do, you will see more glorious outpourings of God than you can imagine. That message isn't just for me. It's also for you—and for every other believer on the earth today. We are in the last of the last days of this age. Jesus is coming soon. It's an exciting time, but it's also a dangerous time. Those who don't do what the Spirit says, who don't press in to the Lord, are going to go from disaster to disaster. But those who do will defeat the disasters and turn them into glory, in Jesus' Name! Your first step in drawing closer to God is to realize that you know God first in His Word. Time spent meditating i...

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...
