Follow the Right Way and Succeed | 03 2009
What creates joy is the testimony of your conscience. If your conscience is condemning you it means death is dropping inside you. If there is any reason why you should decide to succeed in the right way, it should be so that God is able to find a witness on the earth. What this means is that you have resolved in God to be a witness and follow through on the process and follow that inner compass. As a person you decide not to violate what the Spirit is telling you and to be consistent regardless of what anyone does, you follow peace and holiness with them. You start out on projects by praying it out and believing and not giving out your soul in the process. If Jesus was born that way (i.e. by a virgin) that is how God would like to do everything in our lives. Moses started on top but had to go back to the back of the desert to start over. This is a lesson for us to start right first before we lose everything, thereby having to start all over again.
Ye ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (James 4: 3) This verse of scripture means that there are certain things we do not have because we have not asked. Sometimes we realise this and pray and ask God sometimes we do not receive because we want to consume it on our lusts. On the other hand the Bible tells us that if we ask for it in accordance to God’s will, we know that our petition will be granted. (1 John 5:14). Thus, the reason for certain desires must be made clear i.e. are you asking in order to consume it on your lusts or in accordance with God’s will? If the situation is the latter it means that He has shown you the purpose or His own will that He wants to make happen, through you coming into that particular process. God is primarily concerned about those desires that you harbour and to what purpose they will serve in your life this is because if you find your higher calling in it, you will also find your higher purpose. For example someone might want to drive a particular kind of car and the real purpose in the back of that person’s mind is that he wants younger people to understand that God is able to bless and to inspire them in that particular direction. On the other hand another person desires along these same lines in order to oppress his friends and to show-off. It always looks the same on the outside but the seed on the inside is what makes the difference.
