MY PURPOSE,MISSION,and VISION

Purpose: I love God because He first loved me (1 John 4:19); He made me alive when I was dead in trespasses, walking the course (path) of the world (Ephesians 2: 1,2). God was rich in His mercy and  made me alive in Christ, saving me by His grace (Ephesians 2: 4,5). God gave me a purpose to advance His Kingdom. My desire is to do the will of God; pleasing and glorifying Him in advancing His Kingdom here on earth.

Mission: Reconciling the world (2 Corinthians 5:18) and calling  people back to steadfast devotion and obedience to God and His word ( Jeremiah 16:6); walking accordingly to His commands and ways (Deuteronomy 5:33; Psalm 1; Jeremiah 7:23); leading and teaching them through the power of the Holy Spirit and His inspired word.

Vision: Spiritually minded believers walking in peace (Romans 8:6), glorifying God (1 Chronicles 16: 28, 29); actively serving Him/ others, by sharing His  love (Romans 12:9-13).

My prayer is that God’s purpose, mission, and vision for me, will  advance His Kingdom; reconcile the world, and call people back to Him; encouraging them to be spiritually minded in true devotion and obedience to Him; walking in peace, serving Him, and others in love.

“May the grace of the lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all, Amen.”

 

New Birth

On 7/28/2017, while I was attending a conference on Mental Health, the ministry of “Wind Gust” was given birth. The morning of my birth, I was instructed to “be bound by the Spirit (Acts 20: 22 NLT),” “listen” to the Holy Spirit, and acknowledge, “that my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned to me — the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God (Acts 20:23,24 NLT).” God’s spoken word followed me to the conference.

The conference was a time of reflection and purpose. Reflection of my life experiences, in caring for people, with mental health issues/ concerns, in my workplace / community and reflection on how this  learning experience was related to my relationship with God and my purpose, to bring the Kingdom of God into the hearts of man. While I was sitting and listening to one of the speakers, I remembered the night when I was alone in my game room, and the door that lead to the garage blew open, this was a strange event in my life, because the garage door was down. My question was how did this happen?  That night I wrote the poem “A Friend,” speaking of the Holy Spirit. This enlightening moment, during the conference, birthed the thought “a divine gust of wind can transform your life.” “Wind Gust” is the ministry of the Spirit, born to tell the “Good News” of God’s grace.
