*The New Purpose, Calling & Assignment*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."* (2 Corinthians 3:18 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
PURPOSE: the “why†behind our lives; the reason we were created; the original intent for our lives.
As children of God, our purpose on the earth is to bear the image of Jesus. We are new creations in Christ and, therefore, have the nature of God, which is love. We are continually being renewed into the likeness of God. The Bible says that the greatest commandment is to LOVE!
In addition, we were created to shine. To shine is to live a life of faith - being fully convinced in our hearts of the Truth (Jesus, the Word of God, the promises of God, and Heaven). It entails always keeping the perspective of Heaven and living from Heaven’s reality. Everywhere we go, we invite Heaven to shine through us. We exist in this world, but we are not OF the world. We are called to be light in the darkness, never dimming the light within us.
How do we remain in our purpose? We continually surrender our lives, agendas, and desires to God. We come boldly to the Father and crucify our flesh daily, taking on our new nature, created to be like God - truly righteous and holy.
_MEDITATION:_
*"Questions:
1. Do you feel that you bear the image of Jesus in your daily life?
2. Does your life look different from those around you, or do you tend to follow the patterns of the world?
3. Do you tend to live for others’ benefits or your own?"*

*UNDERSTANDING PRINCIPLES OF THE KINGDOM:Seeds of Destiny* (VI)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land"* (Isaiah 1:19 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Our focus remains on non-obvious seeds that are critical in destiny determination
_Types of seeds_ (Cont'd)
6. "OBEDIENCE IS A SEED!"
Obedience to the word of God is clearly a seed because whenever we heed the word, we achieve a desired result (its fruits). Likewise, whenever we do not heed the word of God, we also arrive at an undesired result.
When you sow towards obedience, you get God's approval. When you do otherwise, you get its consequences. A reflection on Romans 2: 6-11 will help:-
*"Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and DO NOT OBEY THE TRUTH, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God."*
When you reflect on these and other passages that deals with obedience, you will observe that without obedience we will never get the best of God. We must deliberately sow the seeds of obedience.
A believer without obedience to the Word of God and the spirit of God, is like a car without an engine. Such car will never go anywhere and will reap the consequences of abandonment in some parking lot.
It would also help to meditate upon Mathew 7 : 24-27 (KJV). May we not be unfortunate or foolish like the man who "built his house upon the sand".
_MEDITATION:_
*"God will reward each of us for what we have done. He will give eternal life to everyone who has patiently done what is good in the hope of receiving glory, honor, and life that lasts forever. But he will show how angry and furious he can be with every selfish person who rejects the truth and wants to do evil. All who are wicked will be punished with trouble and suffering. It doesn't matter if they are Jews or Gentiles. But all who do right will be rewarded with glory, honor, and peace, whether they are Jews or Gentiles. God doesn't have any favorites!"* (Romans 2:6-11(KJV))

*UNDERSTANDING PRINCIPLES OF THE KINGDOM:Seeds of Destiny* (V)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost]."* (Proverbs 23:7 (Amplified Bible))

5. "MY THOUGHTS ARE SEEDS"
Thoughts are an intricate part of the mind. Your mind matters because it's the factory of your thoughts. Mindset is very important because positive thoughts come from a positive mindset. *The thoughts you harbor makes the man you become and the world you create around you!*
*_Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:_* (Philippians 2:5 (KJV))
The question is, what kind of mind was in Christ? Philippians 2:6-8 paints a very clear picture of Humility, service and love. That's the mindset of Christ in summary. Only a mind filled with humility, service and love can produce the kind of thoughts that is becoming of a Christlike believer. Take another look at the kind of mindset that's recommended for you and I:
*"Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty (snobbish, high-minded, exclusive), but readily adjust yourself to [people, things] and give yourselves to humble tasks. Never overestimate yourself or be wise in your own conceits."* (Romans 12:16 (Amplified Bible))
Once the Christlike mindset is in place, your thoughts (and even words) will be humble, loving, patient, non-self glorifying, easy to deal with, peaceable, controlled, etc. With such thoughts (and words), you won't be far from being more like Christ. Not only that, your thoughts will give birth to wholesome words, that heal, encourage, rebuke in love, and inspires.
Your thought is a seed, your mind is the preservative and storage system. Your thoughts as seeds when firmly planted can grow your life and your world around you. What kind of thoughts are you harbouring?
Elijah thought he was the only one standing for God, but he was wrong. God corrected him. The woman with the issue of blood, thought touching the helm of Jesus will save her, she was right. Be careful what you think! *Don't think less of yourself but think of yourself less.* _To think less of yourself is to lower your opinion of yourself. To think of yourself less is to think of yourself less often, meaning you are not so self-absorbed_
_MEDITATION:_
*"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."* (Philippians 4:8 (KJV))

*UNDERSTANDING PRINCIPLES OF THE KINGDOM:Seeds of Destiny* (IV)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire. Knowledge flows like spring water from the wise; fools are leaky faucets, dripping nonsense. Kind words heal and help; cutting words wound and maim."* (Proverbs 15:1-2,4 (The Message))

4. MY WORDS ARE SEEDS.
Yes, your words are seeds! How are you sowing them? You could sow them right or you sow them wrong. It's a good idea to taste your words in your mind's mouth, before you dish it out for anyone else to hear. It is a great practice for every believer to heed this instructions:-
*"Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."* (Colossians 4:6 (KJV))
The seeds you plant in the lives of others can make or mar them. You can have great intentions but make a poor worrisome communication. You can have a godly advice but your delivery will be anything but Christlike.
The seeds of the word that comes from your lips can also make or mar your own very life. Hence we are told:-
*"Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life]."* (Proverbs 18:21 (Amplified))
Dear farmer, how's your planting going? How is your reaping too? Whatever you have in your life today, is a result of seeds of Words, both yours and others (to the extent you have allowed them, whether good or bad). Words can make great beginnings, words can bring great things to an end. Check, every war has been a result of words, spoken and unspoken, written or unwritten, managed or ill-managed.
Everything beautiful has also been rooted in beautiful words. Check the words you are planting in your life and the lives of those around you!
_MEDITATION:_
*"Curses and blessings out of the same mouth! My friends, this can't go on. A spring doesn't gush fresh water one day and brackish the next, does it? Apple trees don't bear strawberries, do they? Raspberry bushes don't bear apples, do they? You're not going to dip into a polluted mud hole and get a cup of clear, cool water, are you?"* (James 3:10-12 (The Message))

*UNDERSTANDING PRINCIPLES OF THE KINGDOM:Seeds of Destiny* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And he said to them, If you are not clear about this story, how will you be clear about the others? The seed is the word."* (Mark 4:13-14 (BBE))

3. THE WORD OF GOD IS A SEED!!
The Word of God is a seed. And it produces after its kind. You can plant the Word! According to Mark 4:13-14, the key to understanding the parables of Jesus about the Kingdom, is to understand that the Word is a seed! Thus, it can be planted.
*_And he gave them teaching about a number of things in the form of stories, and said to them in his teaching, Give ear: A man went out to put seed in the earth: And while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took it for food. And some went on the stones, where it had not much earth; and it came up straight away, because the earth was not deep: And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root, it became dry and dead. And some went among the thorns, and the thorns came up, and it had no room for growth and gave no fruit._* (Mark 4:2-7)
The seeds being planted in the story is the Word of God. There are always four types of places into which the seed of the Word of God may be planted. The first three are as follows:- 1.Wayside, 2.Stones (rock), and 3. Thorns. All three places do not allow for the growth of the seed of the Word. However, there is a fourth-- The good earth/ground!
*"And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and giving thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much. And he said to them, Whoever has ears, let him give ear."* (Mark 4:8-9)
The Farmer could be your Pastor, an evangelist in the bus, a friend or counselor. YOUR response to the Word you hear, determines whether you belong to any of the first three or the good earth/ground!
_MEDITATION:_
Say with me today:
*“IT IS UP TO ME TO BE A GOOD GROUND FOR THE SEED OF GOD'S WORD. MY LIFE SHALL ALWAYS BE A GOOD GROUND FOR THE WORD OF GOD, I BEAR FRUITS THAT GLORIFIES GOD IN JESUS NAME.*
