WEEKLY POST: Racing for the Tape

Sometimes our richest times are right in the midst if our hardest. Transformation is tough. We don’t often end up the persons we think we will, but God has filled our lives with two great gifts: purpose and passion. We need to find what these are and have them drive us through the rocky paths. Life is not ever about starting and finishing. It is about beginning and ending a complete transformed man from who started it. No man has ever thought of life as a place to get to and felt fulfilled getting there. A fulfilled life knows the wealth of life lies below the punches that often pretend to make life not worth living. But purpose puts us on a track we are pleased running on except you have not found it. And passion gives us the energy to keep running through the frost until the time is up. By this time, you are already leading other people, who were afraid to step into their tracks, to gain fulfilment from the total life of dissatisfaction.


Pastor E.A Adeboye postulates the law of transformation as, whatever you admire is what you will likely become. Men like Adeboye understand life as a journey to a transformation driven by purpose. They understand purpose, admire each of it God has given them, and are transformed into it. For them, life is not a journey of start and finish. It is one of starting and finishing the right man. The best part of the journey is that God has left you space to change the world. So you know He really wants you to be the hero too.

 

REFLECTION POINT:

Everyone who participates in a race starts as an athlete. Some get to the tape as athletes and some get there as champions- that is transformation.

 

TASK:

Take half an hour or a quarter and think about what changes you require to achieve the kind of transformation you desire. Note the step to the changes and start taking them. If you are having difficulty adhering to the steps, ask an intimate friend or kin, who is interested in your personal development to help you monitor your progress.

 

Quote of the week:

Life is a journey. Not so much to a destination but a transformation.
