What is that thing, Place or assignment that God has called you to that you out of disobedience left and/or not doing? Yea you know where you’re suppose to be and what you’re suppose to be doing. You’re not hiding from anybody and you’re not fooling anybody, especially not God. Yea you put on you mask and you have your front on Good, but we all know it not real.

You try to act all hard like you the truth but you’re living a Lie everyday. If you put as much effort and work into be real as you do in being fake… You would be a better and much happier person. You’re looking for fulfillment, Until you get right with GOD and do what HE tells you do when, where and how HE tells you to do it, NOTHING is Going to Work out for you and you’re always Going to hit that same Brick Wall. Because there is only one way and that’s God’s Way.

There’s a story in the bible about this dude that got to big for his britches (pants) and he went to his father and asked his father, for his inheritance. Now it wasn’t rightfully his because his father hadn’t died and you never know what your inheritance because it what’s left after that person dies. But anyway, that father gives the son a portion of his wealth and the son sets off to do what he feels he can and wants to do.

The son is living it up, he has great friends so he thinks. He’s doing all the things that he couldn’t do at his father’s house. And then he runs out of money. The Friends leave and now he is alone. The one he spend time with and spent money on are all now gone. They don’t stick around to help or even offer a piece of bread. What at one time wouldn’t even cross his mind as a source of survival, now looks appetizing, Hog slop.

Now he at a point of having to make some decisions. And this is where most of us get and make the mistake. We leave family, Friends, Churches/Ministries/organizations, spouses, our kingdom assignments and even GOD, then we go and make a mess of things. At this point we have two options, Be prideful and Stay where we are and fake like we are alright, get deeper out of the will of God and either have a harder road to travel  back to get things right with God and people or die in the mess we made.

Or we can be like the young in our story, Who the bible say he came to himself. He realize yes I messed up, but I don’t have to stay here and die. The bible says he went back to his father, not even to get what he had but to be a servant. But because of the love that the father had for the son, he received him back as a son.

What we have to realize is your destiny is not based upon your action but rather what God says. The actions  and choices we make may determine how long and what route we take, but it doesn’t change what God has for us and what He called us to be.

You are still going to have to accomplish your destiny one way or another. God’s Word Cannot return to him void. There is a old saying that says, “You can do this the easy way or the hard way, but you’re going to do it” And that’s the way it is with us and destiny it must and will get done.

I want to encourage you who may be reading this to get back to it. Get back to your god given assignment. Get back to preaching, Get Back to Teaching, Get Back to singing, Get back to working with the youth ministry, Go get things right with your family, Go be a Father to your kids, Go be a Mother to your kids, Go apologize to those you hurt and/or disrespected, Go back to the Church God placed you in, Go get things right with your spouse even if you are divorced go repent and get it right. Whatever you’re not doing that you are suppose to be doing , DO IT! Go forth and start that ministry, be the Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and/or Teacher, Usher, Deacon, Church Mother, Youth Pastor, Administrator, janitor, Music Minister, Altar Worker, Sound Tech, Armourbearer/Adjutant or Home Care Leader.

As long as you are out of the will of God and walking in disobedience you are handicapping the body of Christ and hindering people from getting to Christ an reaching their full potential in Christ. So Stop being Lazy, Prideful, Selfish and Ungrateful, Get Up and Get Back to It!

Even if they don’t receive you, make sure you’ve don all you can to make it right. Yes you might have to go through some restoration, You might have to regain trust with them and yes you might have to swallow your pride and go more than once or sit among then know they don’t trust you. It may not be as easy this time as was the last time or if you did it when God first told you, but it the price you have to pay with disobedience. Though God forgives us we still sometimes have to bear the consequences of our actions. But You have to suck it up and GET BACK TO IT!!
