POWER OF PASSION

ONE THING have I desired of the Lord, that I will seek after… – Psalm 24:4

“PASSION is FAITH in ACTION…

God does not want us to be content with bland mediocrity. We must go for a dominating passion, a zeal to please God. Whatever a divine or worthy passion inspires demands our total attention. We would do well to ask ourselves if we have any clearly defined passion like Paul and Jesus.

ONE THING have I desired of the Lord, that I will seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and enquire in his temple (Psalm 24:4).

Paul was resolute in himself saying: “that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made comformable unto his death” (Philippians 3:10).

…Paul was a passionate person, even before his conversion. He was strong-willed. He could do nothing by halves. “I was exceedingly zealous” he declared.

A man of passion will never be content with the status quo; rather, he would constantly strain himself towards his purpose and horizons. A man of passion is a man of purpose and a man with a compulsion that would brook no denial. Gloriousness is a result of seriousness. The journey to divine exploits begins with intense divine passion…

Strive to get beyond mere pensive longing. Set your face like a flint and begin to desire the best thing from God. Pray for a single eye. Practise candour, child-like honesty and diligence. Gaze on Christ and practise spiritual concentration and excitement to accomplish your purpose in life. FOCUS on God and you will become a FOCUS…

Passion will always engage your will, and your will is the greatest force in life. Victory, joy, distinction, dignity and honour answer to divine passion. Take care of your passion and your passion will take care of your destiny. Fruitfulness is realised on the platform of passion.”
