There is a problem you've been born to solve

I am a strong believer that "there is a problem every person was born to solve." God has purpose for every person He created! I feel the mandate on my life is to help people find their purpose and then help develop and deploy them for their God-given assignment.

Many in the church today are talking about "destiny", but not many are talking about "purpose." Destiny is simply a place where your actions are taking you. It can be good or bad! If you are speeding down the highway...you are destined to get a ticket. But purpose is the God-designed assignment for your life. You can't escape from your purpose. You've heard the saying "you can run, but you can't hide!" Once God has put His finger on your life, you have been chosen and He will move Heaven and earth to help make your purpose come about.

"What's with my NASTY ATTITUDE?!"

I was at Pastor Steve Allessi's church in Miami one time (husband to gospel recording artist Mary Allessi), and heard him say something that not only cracked me up, but made me see a lot of myself. He was nearing a group of teenagers when he realized he was puttin' his "mug" on. You know the look that is "supposed" to make others tremble in fear and not make eye contact with you. Ha! It was at that point when he realized, "What am I doing? I am a pastor and I'm doing this!" He said it was at that time he put on a smile and spoke kindly to them instead.

It was so funny because I find I do the same thing at times. It is impossible to be intimidating and be a witness at the same time! How others view me is how they see who I am representing.
In 2 Chronicles 6:16, King Solomon was praying one of God's promises to David. God had stated if David's descendants obeyed the law and guarded their behavior they will always reign over Israel (taken from the NLT). The KJV puts it "so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law..." "To their way" comes from a Hebrew word, in this context, that means the "manner" in which they walked. In essence, I can do the right things, but if my attitude stinks, I will still miss my blessing!

Have you ever gone to get your driver's license and been treated like you were being processed to go to jail? I have almost every time. I get so ticked at a rude waiter/waitress or an offensive salesperson. I am like, "Hello, what are you doing this job for?" It only reminds me of the times I do the right thing, but with the wrong attitude." God forgive me. I want to do right, with the right attitude.

God bless,

Jeff
