Welcome to Positioning '21 Episode 4.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Welcome to the final episode of Positioning '21. You will remember that the series kicked off with Pastor Deji Kurunmi who expounded our hearts about the image of Jesus that forms in our hearts. Pastor DDK taught us about being a good steward for God expects both returns of investment and risk on us. Pastor Dele established that we are the seed of Abraham, who need to situate our lives in the context of Abraham's faith walk with God... What a journey

Pastor Sam further foregrounds the necessity of identifying the patterns that guide the believer, especially in the world that has a system of frustrating our knowledge of God with its cares.

The fact that our earthly needs have to be met cannot be overemphasized, but we must understand that all things were created by God through Jesus Christ, and there was nothing that was made without him. If that is the equation, then there is a plan for all things to work. God is intentional about all things that are made and there is nothing that exists or will exist without the intentions of God.

If all things were made through Christ by God, that means Jesus is the foundation for living. He gives us the roadmap, the architectural designs, and the pattern of how we should build, live and relate for us to have results.

The void in our heart is still a vacuum because we are yet to follow the patterns and templates that have been laid for us. We need to build approximately according to the patterns of God.

For example, the pattern for a good marriage is to be, to your spouse as Christ is to the church. The pattern for Finance is to work with our hands, provide good services and add value. The pattern of Giving, how to relate with our Parents and Children are clearly stated in the scripture. The problem is not the seed/word being preached to us. The problem is that we are yet to identify and follow through with the patterns that have been given to us. And that is why the cares of this world choke the word in our hearts.

God's template is general and at the same time, specific with modifications from one person to another. That is why we all need to work out our salvation by ourselves. He leads and works in us the little specifications that relate to our fulfillment of purpose. These various specifications and little modifications will be given to us when we fellowship and pay detailed attention to his leading.

Beloved, for us to be positioned, rooted, and grounded in love is to take care of the cares of this world by identifying and following the patterns of God for our lives.

We will do well, our faculties will produce, our needs will be met and we will have enough to give only when we give ourselves to the word, position our heart as the fertile ground for the seeds/word of God being preached to us to produce.
