My purpose revealed.
God is GREAT and worthy to be praised. Blessings to all my brothers and sisters near and far. Happy New Year to you all.
Less than 24 hours ago I was just a guy, a normal guy living a pretty normal life. I had goals and ambitions I wanted to be Prime Minister of New Zealand and was about to pursue that career path and eventually enter politics dedicating at least the next 10 years of my life just for education and then even more thereafter to the service of my people. Yes kiwis. I wanted to create policies that promoted equality and respected people's individual rights and religious freedoms. I wanted to be a part of change. I wanted to create the change and i wanted to be an ambassador for peace.
Last night I had a revelation a realisation that God has other plans for me and at present my plan to commit at least the next decade of my life to politics is now on hold. My hope of governing will need to take a backseat in my life at least for now anyways. For years I have been waiting to discover my purpose. I have spent hours praying and questioning the lord. I have lost sleep over what my purpose is and how am i best to serve him and his kingdom.
Nothing ever happens in our time or whenever we want it. Everything happens in his time and only when we need it.
I don't know if i need this (gods call) at the time i was not even sure if I was actually ready to accept god's calling but what I do know is that I trust the lord wholeheartedly and completely. Faith is about believing without seeing.
Most people will say "I'll believe it when i see it". This is the wrong philosophy instead we should say "I'll believe it when I see it."
My recently revealed purpose is to promote equality and fight for the less fortunate not only with politics but by putting Christ before politics and after politics as is righteous because he is the FIRST and the LAST. God wants me to first go on a mission to find his lost sheep speak to them remind them of his unwavering love and bring them on home. I am to enter politics soon after with his blessings to create change and policies in this land to protect his lambs. I will not know when my political career will happen but I will know when the time is right. Afterwards I am to travel more of the world speaking to all who are prepared to listen and by this stage and with his grace i will have more platforms to evangelize on and i'd be more influential especially after my life in public service. I do not know everything or how this is going to eventuate all i know is God's calling and my time is now. It is an honor to serve the almighty and so I must! I must not falter, I must not fear.
I am trusting the Lord to:
I joined ULC Ministries for this very purpose and I am so blessed to be legally ordained and gifted the title of Reverend. If you see me out and around do come and say hello and we can share a prayer together. I ask all of you ULC members to please keep me in your prayers and to help others discover their purpose too.
Before I go I just want to say in life we all should have one guiding principle - "To help those who are less fortunate and if we cannot help them we should at least not hurt them."
God bless you and keep you.
