Humilty is the key to walking with God, being of a humble spirit or mind. Don't try to correct anybody in your mind. When you are not sure of something, let it go instead of getting distracted by the things you do not agree with. It may not be your time to know it as you are not God. Instead, listen more for what God is giving you so that when you leave here the result would show. Let the thoughts that will come to you and what you would do with them be between you and God.
Purpose is intent, desire, the reason for being, a cause or an action. Why do you do the things you do? What motivates and drives you? What is your fire? What is your purpose? Purpose matters Purpose (or design) is specific and never general..
Negetive Driving Forces
FEAR!
Sometimes people can not define what they are afraid of. Some people are more motivated by fear than by faith. Some people move to live in certain places for fear of safety. Some things should not be acknowledged as driving forces but they are and make people do what they ought not to do. Some are afraid of rejection.
Proverbs 29:25(Msg)
The fear of human opinion disables. Trusting in God protects you from that.
RESENTMENT, ANGER, BITTERNESS AND JEALOUSY!
These emotions cause so much havoc.
Matthew 23:27(NKJV)
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.
GUILT AND MEMORIES OF THE PAST!
Some have nightmares because of things that happened to them and are in bondage of this.
DRIVEN BY THE NEED FOR APPROVAL!
There are people who can not be pleased. No matter what you do to and for them, slaving for such people yet you never get their approval. If you always carry the burden of pleasing somebody you would always be a slave to the last person you spoke to. Somehow, they will control your life.
John 5:44(AMP)
How is it possible for you to believe [how can you learn to believe], you who [are content to seek and] receive praise and honor and glory from one another, and yet do not seek the praise and honor and glory which come from Him Who alone is God?
WORLDLINESS
Some people are driven and motivated by this. Canality and friendship of the world is an enemy to God. Do not be caught having unspiritual discussion so vehemently that you become so passionate about it and forget who you are.
1 John 2:15-16
We do not know what is right nor wrong until the Father tells us and whatever He says is final. Appreciate what people do but do not get too carried away and then you forget the purpose for your life. Begin to think differently and become conscious of a higher purpose which you ought to live for.
Genesis 28:12-15
Joshua 1:1-9
1 Corinthians 9:16
Live your life for Him and not for yourself. If you claim to love God but dislike or resent only one person, you are at risk of displeasing Him. If you are in a war, who would you like to be on your side? The guy that staked his life or the soldier that is afraid to die? Don't allow offences get to you. Humility is important, make it a part of your life. Let it be your life, saturate your spirit joyfully with humility and love. You would experience joy and satisfaction.
Enjoy everything you do be it sleepinv, eating, walking etc. You can really enjoy your life. Have a great life and satisfaction that comes with Christ.
Your very best
