Editor's Notes
It begins with a desire not with a talent.Psalms 27 :4 “ One thing have I desired of the Lord, that I will seek after…Paul traveled Asia for 2.5 years without airplane, a car or a train yet he covered the continent with the Gospel because of his desire and persistence.Phil 3:12, 14 “ I press on , that I may lay hold of that for which Jesus Christ has also laid hold of me… I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus”.His desire propelled him onward.Things that didn’t move Paul 2 Corinthians 11: beatings and stonings and all kinds of hardship and dangers.Paul was not handsome nor suave however he was weak and contemptible ( 2 Corinthians 10:10)Don’t make excusesYou God-given assignment pulls your heart hardly and leads you to highest fulfillment. Your assignment unlocks your compassion and creativity.When God calls you to do something . He prepares you in adavnce.
PassionCan make one person succeed when another fails.Takes one from mediocrity to excellence.Can infuse your life with power and purpose. Sets great leaders apart from average leaders.Takes you places and cause you to do things you would never do without it.Psalms 69:9 - The zeal of my Father’s house has eaten me up.What fires you up?Where is your desire ?Where is passion ?Desire means consuming passion.Unrelenting ( not yielding in strength )Undying driveInsatiable hunger ( impossible to satisfy )Intense fervencyDesire plus passion equals powerThe key to unleashing God’s power is an overriding passion for Him.
The passion reference at Acts 1:13 refers to suffering that Christ endured at the crucifixion.Passion includesStrong feelingAbandoned display of emotionBoundless enthusiasm and love
Fervor – intense and passionate feeling.Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months . And he prayed again and the heaven gave rain and the earth brought forth her fruit ( James 5:17-18).He prayed for drought and fire come down from heaven ( I Kings 17 -18)Revive a dead boy ( I Kings 17:22)Outrun a chariot ( I Kings 18:46 )Part water ( 2 Kings 2:8)Fed by angels ( I Kings 19:5)Went up by a whirlwind into heaven ( 2 Kings 2:11)
Bonus effect . Matthew 14 :35 -36 – This woman opened a new spiritual dimension of possibilities for others because of hear faith.“ They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and also who touched him were healed.
1. The disciples were in upper room praying for ten days and nothing happened.2. Elijah was believing for rain. Six time he sent his servant to see what was coming on the horizon, but there was “Nothing”.3. For12 years , the woman had an issue of blood and “nothing” happed inspite of her regular coming to doctor for healing.4. But of all these circumstantial “nothingness” , GOD IS UP TO SOMETHING !5. When your purse your God=given purpose with a passion, He will anoint you with the power to fulfill it.
