Convictions of our everyday lives

This is gg to be a very theological argument. without the verses yet because including the verses will cause this entry to be even more systematic and therefore boring.

The main idea is the main cause of depression and distress is the inconsistencies between the desires of God and our own.

In our lives, there needs to be a consistent set of values for Christian living.
I am talking about the everyday life which we lead.

Not having a set of consistent values will force us into situational ethics.
When we are in this position, we undermine our own spiritual lives.

Some prophets in the Bible have very clear ideas of God's purpose in the long corridor of Time, but have failed in their personal living because they have faced strong circumstances. I am not criticising them but all I am saying that humans have a tendency towards situational ethics or rather situational values.

We have to remember the prophets faced dangers who are threatening to claim their lives.

Situational values lead to despair and hopelessness in life. e.g. Jonah, Elijah, even Jeremiah.
Consistent values ensures the source of those values is God Himself and that He is with us in every situation we are in.

That means we will not get the things we want. The consistent values of God will steer our lives towards His plans and His desires for us.

The challenge would be to believe that that which He wants and we do not want is better than all that we want.

Its not easy. The human flesh is a great prison.
To be a leader in today's world, we need to be experts in everyday issues for today.
We need to hold the conviction, live the conviction and preach the conviction.
We are the source of strength for those putting in effort to live God's ways.
The Word of God is the fuel and we are the employees of the Shell Petrol Station.

After all that we have said, the annals of history belong to overcomers. Self Pity kills.

Again some argue that doing God's will will ensure that you will experience the anointing and the joy and that it will be the most natural thing to do.

If then why the many people who choose to deviate from the perfect will of God when they know perfectly the will of God in their hearts?

The things God wants might not be the things we want. We pray and we know that God will turn our hearts as He has turned mine many times.

He showed me a vision and it is a far off dream to me now... it will take me many years but I am glad He showed me... now I know I will not die but I will fulfill that... He showed me way beyond I can think or imagine and I can even believe it.

It is something that I will not believe 2 months ago.
But I can now.
I see it... it is real in my belly.
and from the belly flows.....

ok fine I know u dun understand what I am talking about.
I will add in the verses and the links between the ideas when I have the time.
I just needed to quickly type it out and keep it.

I think this can become a sermon IF i simplify it by about 200%.
