Understanding Your Passion


'Understanding your vision'- would
have been the expected phrase and you might be wondering what kind of Passion?
Here's a little tweak and a different context.


"I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal."

(Romans 10:2)

Have you ever thought about it? That you have passion but yet lack knowledge,that you're zealous for him but yet unenlightened?

I was once in this shoes.

Growing up as really been amazing and such a memorable one.. memorable indeed!..

I was nicknamed " Church girl ". This is  because I was so passionate for the things of God,you will find me in almost eivery department,services in church. I was the youngest in the choir and wasn't a teenager then,they just couldn't push me aside in the youth. The youngest to get baptised ( by immersion) .

Now I realized that all those zeal and passion then was just to fill a void and give a kind of satisfaction..even though for real I had no knowledge..well, I know God ,I know Jesus cause I was taught in the Sunday School,I even began teaching the children church while I was a teenager.

As time goes by...

I started dropping out . It was no longer enjoyable,it wasn't satisfiable.  I was no longer a child! . I practically withdrew from all activities except being in the choir.They  called it backsliding though, I wasn't even saved in the first place.



 I make a big fun of myself whenever I  remember all these and at the same time I'm so happy that now I'm not only saved but I have understanding. Knowing this has also helped me in every spheres of life.

You may  have a similar story with mine  but I hope you now have the understanding.

"The passion must be driven with understanding, so you won't fall out"

You must understand whom or what you've come to accept  and it must  happen every day to  get a clearer picture of the vision.

Understanding began Trust, 

Sometimes It just doesn't make sense ,But you have to Trust God anyways.

Putting yourself under  the "UNDILIUTED WORD" emphasises on Undiliuted.

These days , I see many youth with passion, I mean a burning desire to serve but yet one thing is still lacking-Misdirected Zeal

The Zeal is misdirected and it later wears out because one lack understanding,

My prayer to God is that we might be flooded with light,(Wisdom and insight).That we might also come to understand our inheritance and the incredible power of God on us who believe in him. 

Likewise ,This applies  to whatever aspirations and dream you have ,so you might find satisfaction and peace that you desire. There's definitely going to be shakes,but understanding drives the passion not withstanding.

Ignorance is not an excuse,Not even in Heaven!
