Area’s that Matter!
The creative entrepreneurial space, as well as the vibrant ministry space, is the essential ecosystem that is intricately woven into my purpose in this life.
I consistently strive to “add value” and impact in both of these arena’s!
A significant number of people find themselves either feeling offended by or experiencing jealousy towards, those of us whom they should be eagerly learning and gaining valuable insights from!
“I want to clarify that I am not responsible for carrying out, or adhering to anyone’s “commentary,” or “interpretation” of what they may “think” I am saying, at any given moment.”
This tendency toward personal commentary, can often promote the development of an environment of legalism and elitism, that I aim to avoid!
Elitism is a mindset within people, or groups, especially within a church or Christian communities, where they view themselves, their own perceived spiritual knowledge, or adherence to specific “cultural rules” or “traditions,” as superior, no matter what God or anybody else says! It's essentially an attitude of pride and self-righteousness that contradicts the biblical call for humility, love and purpose.
Legalism implies that spiritual merit is earned through adherence to a specific law or set of rules, performing good deeds, physical attire or attending worldly education systems as proof of acceptance. Legalists often create and enforce their own rules and traditions, sometimes even elevating them to the level of divine law. These rules may not be explicitly stated in the scriptures, but are seen as necessary for salvation or spiritual maturity. this distorts the message of the gospel and diminishes the greatest importance of Christ's work and purpose!
In essence, legalism replaces a relationship with God based on grace and faith, with a system of rules and regulations, shifting the focus from the transformative power of the Holy Spirit to human effort and performance!
My true mandate is to clearly, concisely, and effectively, express and carry out what the “scriptures” articulates, rather than what someone’s personal thoughts might be, or their lack of understanding of what it is that I’m saying, when I’m speaking or ministering within the context of the environment to which I’m assigned to speak to.
The scripture mandates is a call to personal and spiritual growth, urging all believers to diligently seek God's truth, apply it in their lives, and live in a way that demonstrates their faith and integrity, thus reflecting God's approval.
What it is not, is having personal preferences that negate the validity of God's word, even when we find ourselves in situations where we have no understanding and are unfamiliar with the specific context to which an individual is speaking.
If anyone lacks understanding in such matters, let him earnestly ask of God for wisdom and insight—not indulge in gossip that seeks to harm and destroy another's character or integrity simply because one holds a different personal perspective. It is crucial to seek truth and clarity rather than engage in judgment or criticism.
The scriptures are really trustworthy, and provides a solid and dependable foundation, for ones lifethat is filled with profound wisdom and invaluable guidance.
On the other hand, our personal, individual interpretations may not always be genuinely rooted in truth nor accuracy!
I’m called to help individuals achieve victory, be successful, and fulfilled, in all areas of their life and business; things that truly matter! It’s my passion to guide people through challenges and to support their growth in meaningful ways.
“A remarkable, exceptional life stands out from the ordinary, and conveys a sense of uniqueness and distinction that captures attention and inspires others, and will cause each of us to continually improve in the “areas that matter most.”
