Yesterday, I learned from my record label that, this month, I have to do another video shoot for my upcoming album, for which I’ll be disclosing the release date soon. I hope you’ll be able to come to the CD release concert in Buffalo, New York next year! It promises to be an awesome time of ministry and fellowship.
Well, the song Purpose, which is really close to my heart, is the single the team and I will be shooting the video for. I posted it below just in case you’ve never heard it.
Now, if you’ve listened to the song, you know it’s about how my life is meaningless if I’m not in God’s will. I wrote it from a place of distress as I was torn about actively pursuing the music ministry.
Before surrendering to God’s will, deep down I was troubled. I literally felt like I was suffocating something that was screaming to get out of me.
It was my purpose. But I wasn’t giving God a complete yes. And, no matter how fruitful and productive I was in other areas of my life, my soul wasn’t completely satisfied.
Thankfully, I’ve finally given God the “yes” He wanted from me.
And, although I’m not in love with photo shoots, video shoots, and all the numerous demands that come along with being a recording artist, pleasing God makes it all worth it. Even when I feel tired in my body, my spirit is awake and refreshed, because I’m carrying out God’s will for my life.
Of course I had to wait for His timing, because there was a premature season when I let others push me into things before God released me to do them. And you know what? Those things didn’t work out. They only served to introduce frustration and confusion into my life, because I was out of alignment with God’s divine order.
But now that the time is right, He has been faithfully performing His word concerning me. And He will be faithful to you as well. All He needs is an openness and willingness from you to do what He said do… and He will open the doors that make it possible for you to complete the assignment. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV)
Today’s Prayer: Dear God, help me to be open and willing to say yes to whatever it is You have called me to do. I give up my own selfish agenda, and give You full control. Please order my steps. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
As always, thanks for reading, and may today’s cup of inspiration empower, motivate, and inspire you!
