Avoiding the Cul de Sac

Motivation Monday: Avoiding the Cul de Sac

Life is about pathways because life is about destinations and in life we travel. Vision draws us through people, places, events and seasons, pulling us to a point of purpose fulfilment.

Vision is the picture of that fulfilment, revealed into our spirits as we come into life's consciousness. When you wake up, you open your eyes and see, same way as we grow, we come to consciousness and we see.

The plan had been long before we came, some may even have seen it concerning us before we knew it. It is a book written and some can peep, God shows some and parents should know to a level. Remember Rebecca, the Lord told her, two nations, not babies, are in your womb, one will be greater than the other and and the elder will serve the younger...that information is enough to bring forth a vision!

Then the journey began, but it must be traveled with a plan. The time given for accomplishment and the assignment itself must agree. So long as there's life, the assignment lives on too. The journey ends at death, purpose keeps us alive, because life is for purpose, not personal purposes but the purposes of God.

But that journey could end in a rot, in a cul de sac, in a close or at a dead end. Why? Because it needs a divine companion. It requires someone who had known the way, a guide to take you through.

There's a way that seems right to a man which ends in destruction. Yes, it seemed right, beautiful and pleasant at the start but it ends badly. So many people haven't been able to make much impact in there world, not because they don't have the potential to, or didn't make success in whatever they might have chosen, according to other people's judgements but they ended up pursuing the things that don't permit maximum impact and personal fulfillment.

The pathway designed for our destinies leads to fulfilment at the end irrespective of the rivers, the valleys, the mountains and the hostilities we encounter on the way. Fulfillment, not just in things we have but in what we do. When the way ends in frustration, then we had missed the guide at some point and had ended in a wrong place.

If we follow God's Word and Spirit, we can't miss it. He will open doors and close others, He will prod, press, and pull, He will work and walk ahead so we can follow, He will speak, teaching and counselling till those who desires His guidance hear and follow. His voice will never bypass His sheep.

And if you have gotten into stagnation and frustration, be bold to do an about face and turn around to the right path. Life is for purpose, the light of today gives a new hope and opportunity to take on our journeys again, but now in the right direction with better experience and determination to follow the life Guide, the Spirit of God.

In following is fulfilment. No mountain is too high, no valley is too low, no wilderness is too rough, no river is too wide when you follow by faith...in following is maximisation of potentials, following is the pursuit of purpose... Learn not to walk alone... Follow Him who knows the way... Don't let us keep walking based on limited knowledge, walk in the path that leads to life and total fulfillment.

Good morning. It's a great week!
