Heart (Passion)
We are all wired differently
Passion is the fuel for life. It is the great source of energy and drive that makes you explore new vistas, developing new relationship and seeking solution to perplexing problems
Passion is also something that you will invest your time, energy, resources so that at the end of the day you have a deep sense of fulfilment
Question that we need to ask ourselves is what is the passion that God had given you?
Some of us:
- Had lost your passion
- Don't what your passion is
- And, know your passion and yet nor doing anything to nurture it
If you do not know your passion, you are actually fulfilment other people's passion (but not yours)
Some of us, we know the passion and yet we suppress it with the critics that people made on us.
God want us to live a unique life with a unique gift and a unique passion
5 passion principle:
1.Know what drives us
- It is very important to know what drives us- some of our passion may be driven by the wealth, pride, prestige or even our parents
- If we can say that God is the one that drives us, we will live a empty and repentful heart
2.Know who you care about
- Our ministry should be all about people
- The dreams that we have will be bigger than ourselves when it is related to your passions
3.Know the needs you will meet
4.Know the cost that you will help conquer
5.Know your ultimate dream for God's kingdom
3 stories that have a similar meaning behind it:
- Exodus 4:1-3
- 2 Kings 4:1-7
- John 6:5-12
A big and ultimate goal from God, in your life may start with just a small and insignificant event.
GOD EQUATION:
- God × Your nothing = NOTHING
- God ×Everything you are = everything you need + EXTRA
WHICH EQUATION DO YOU BUY?
