Make up your mind and Have a clear vision of who you want to be in life

Text: John 15:5,Luke 6:46-49,Matthew 7:24-28, Deuteronomy 30:19,

Every day be conscious and have a clear vision(think, believe and speak) of what you want to be or become tomorrow.What you become tomorrow is more of a function of who you believe which determines what you say, think or do.Our Savior had one consuming passion-to please God, the Father. Therefore His daily focus and consciousness was on and about the Father.His main goal was to seek and save humanity that was lost in the garden of Eden. The Father's pleasure ruled his words, thoughts and deeds.(John 8:29, 5:19). The Holy Spirit was on hand to fulfil His consuming passion to please the Father, because the Holy Spirit is given to them that obey Him(Acts 5:32, 13:2). He had the Holy Spirit without measure(John 3:34).We were all created to please God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ(Revelation 4:11)
We should have one consuming passion:to please Jesus Christ(John 15:5): to seeek and save those sinners that are lost(Luke 15:7,10) and restoration of backsliders or the dead back to life in the kingdom.(Luke 15:32). When we make up our minds and develop within us a clear vision of what we desire to be tomorrow:Christ-like in character, conduct and conversation(Romans 8:29-30) and pleasing God the Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ; the Holy Spirit will be on hand to help us to achieve our goals and aspiration which is in reality the will of God for us.
Behind our clear VISION we should have a PURPOSE to bring it to tangible expression,and behind the purpose must be an unwavering FAITH that what we desire is already ours i.e. Christ-likeness and lost souls restored to the kingdom; and all we aspire daily is to take possession of it.(Mark 11:23-24) through unceasing prayer of faith.
God bless as you seriously and consciously consider why you are here in life and make the necessary conscious effort to do what pleases our Lord Jesus Christ and God, the Father.
