EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:

I have found that many strong believers have had some disruption in their lives that put them into a “search mode.” Searching for a solution to be exact. How do we search for the right solution (God) or point others ultimately to find God?

Oftentimes, searching for God comes when someone faces a situation in which they have no control. The closer the crisis is, the more intense the search for God becomes. Correct?

To resolve the disruption going on around a particular person, it can take one on a journey involving seeking God first…and that is where it must begin. This is what the Bible instructs us to do…

(Matthew 6:33), “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness”…

Then it involves becoming the right person, filled with the right kind of love and watching your own life transform into seeing if it’s something others would want or admire. They will know we are Christ followers by our love.

Then we take others on the journey with us. Just as Christ said, “follow me” to His disciples, we should bring others on the journey to follow Jesus with us. How can YOU do this?

It all begins with “seeking FIRST the kingdom of God,” and watch the disruption you are experiencing, dissipate before your eyes. You too can be the leader God has called you to be. Disruption falls by the wayside as you seek – God – first.
