The Purpose That Fulfils

“The master was full of praise. ‘Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have been faithful in handling this small amount, so now I will give you many more responsibilities. Let’s celebrate together! ’
Matthew 25:21 NLT

Can you think of any words you want more dearly to hear? I cannot. In the end when we look deeply, there's no sweeter feeling, no greater satisfaction than that which comes from knowing that you have made Jesus proud.

While it is my prayer that we all hear those words when we come face to face with the King of all, we really should aspire to hear those words everyday. It is the ultimate call - working the portion that we have been given faithfully no matter how undignified it may look compared to another's.

There is so much material on fulfilling purpose and really it is important but today, I am here with a related but slightly different message and the message is that YOUR PURPOSE FULFILS YOU!!!!
Fulfilling a purpose is not enough. It is fulfilling YOUR purpose that you should aspire to. 

There is no call higher than the call of Christ and if Christ called you to be a teacher and you decide you want to be an evangelist touring the world(because "it seems more significant for the kingdom"), a purpose is fulfilled - the gospel is preached but the fulfilling of that purpose will not fulfil you and ultimately you run the risk of hearing "who sent you?"

I know one thing for sure, if you are in what God called you to, you will know because you will not only fulfil it, it will fulfil you.

Our Father, the infinite, ultimate God of wisdom. Your purposes are past our finding out. We can only understand the pieces you reveal to us. Knowing that we do not know all there is to know even about ourselves, we surrender in humble adoration and marvel at your omniscience. Help us to walk in the call you have called us to. Let us not run another's race. Where we have missed it, show us and give us the grace to be humble enough to admit and retrace our steps in Jesus' name (amen)

Well folks! I would like to make the official announcement that I am retiring from blogging.  Did somebody say "NO!!!!!!" ? Fear not, Memoirs Of A Saved Sinner is not dying. It is being reborn as a podcast. So whilst this is my last blog post, it certainly won't be the last you hear from me by God's grace so please follow @memoirsofasavedsinner on instagram for updates. Please pray for me also , that the gospel may have free passage into homes and lives be transformed by the power of God through this ministry in Jesus' name. Have a fulfilling week! Don't forget to share😁😁

Hang In There!

Hello! It's been a really long time since I wrote anything and I'm glad to be able to bring you something from God today. Once in a while, I feel an impression on my spirit man to share a word which is as I've experienced, a word in season. This is one of those "once in a while-s". This season I just feel the need to tell you to hang in there my brother/sister. I feel very strongly the need to encourage you in WHATEVER situation you find yourself. But keep your hope to the end and you will experience life and deliverance. Matthew 24:13 TPT Brethren these are trying times for many people but we are encouraged in Scripture to hold on, to hang in there, to believe God, to believe that faithful is He that has promised, to believe that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. I encourage you to just trust. I know it is hard. You just finished with undergrad schooling and things are not looking up. Your "mates and juniors " see

Respect the Anointing

Heyyy folks, welcome to an unusual discussion at an unusual time of the week too👀. I hope your week has been good so far. I bet if anything came to mind when you saw the topic of today's post, it was "we must respect men of God" or "the anointing you don't respect cannot work for you". Those are good and true but not today's context. Today I'm asking you to respect the anointing on YOUR life. Every child of God has an anointing on their life. You are the anointed of God as long as you have professed Christ's Lordship in your life. Many christians live less than fulfilling lives because they walk ignorant of the anointing and its purpose. God wants to use us (YOU reading this and ME) for amazing things in this world: To heal the sick, raise the dead, to restore, to build, to demolish amongst other things. Many of us do not know or do not remember that we are on a mission. EVERY TIME YOU INHALE AND EXHALE, YOU OWE GOD YOUR SERVICE. Where am I

The Following Signs 🏃🏾‍♂️

Hello there! It's a new week and I hope wherever you are reading from that you are investing in the things of the Spirit this season. Believe me, those who have and those who have not will be as distinct as night and day in the coming days. It is foolishness to have access to all that is God's and remain in the poverty that is the pleasure of the world. When last did you tell someone about Jesus? When last did you open your mouth or type to someone that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life and that NOBODY can come to the Father EXCEPT through Him.  Many believers do not remember the meaning of the word "believer" or from Whom that word in this context draws meaning.  Are you a believer? "Yes" In what/Whom do you believe? "Jesus"  Do you know what He said? "Yes" Do you believe what He said? "Yes" Do you know the implication of what He said? "Yes" With all these yeses, where is the evidence? Where is the evidence tha
