THE DRIVING FORCE- Part 1

THE DRIVING FORCE- Part 1

“Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey” Rom; 6:16a (ESV)

Everyone is driven by something, it’s either an anointing or alcohol, passion or hatred, money or impact, pleasure or sacrifice, problem or solution, the past or the future. Which ever the force maybe, that is what will determine your outcome in life. The question now is, what drives you?

That was why Apostle Paul pointed it straight out, that whatever you surrender yourself to, the servant of such you are. Jesus was driven by passion that was why He died for us despite it was painful. Esther and Mordecai in the book Esther were driven by passion towards to the Jews, that made them went extra miles just to rescue them and their generations from slavery.

While some persons are driven by what to do for their generations, many others are driven by pains and regrets of the past. Here are some of the emotions that may be driving your life unknowingly;

(1) Driven by guilt– People in this category spend their entire lives running from regrets and hiding their shame. They allow their memories to be manipulated. They allow their past to control their future. Just like Cain & Judas Iscariot.

You may also be

(2) Driven by Resentment and Anger– when you hold on to hurts and never get over them, instead of releasing your pains through forgiveness, you rather kept it and it continues to reply itself in your mind. That’s the reason why you sometime suddenly explode like a bomb and end up hurting innocent people. Resentment always hurts you more than it does the person you resent.

God doesn’t want you to live your life in regret and frustration through those forces. He desires a worthy life for you. That’s why He said “the thought he has towards you is the thought of good and not of evil” Jer;29:11. Therefore, if He doesn’t, then you shouldn’t. Check what drives your life. You will not be driven by negative forces in Jesus name.

Prayer: Holy Spirit terminate the operations of any negative forces at work in my life and be my major driving force, in the name of Jesus.
