Who knows how we'll end up! Follow the trail of favor

Follow the trail of favor

Who knows how we'll end up! Our future glory is Gods' revelation. Our future glory is not yet manifest.  Who knows how we'll end up! 1 John 3:2 (The Message) 2-3 But friends, that's exactly who we are: children of God. And that's only the beginning. Who knows how we'll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we'll see him—and in seeing him, become like him.

Who knows how we'll end up! God knows how we will end up. Your assignment is your discovery. The secret of your future is hidden in your discovery. The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. 

Proverbs 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the glory of kings is to search out a thing. It is the mystery of God to conceal. It is the grace of of God to reveal.  Proverbs 25:2 (The Message) 2 God delights in concealing things; scientists delight in discovering things. God concealed the Ark. But, God revealed it to Noah. examples of Gods' revelation: Noah building the Ark. (Genesis 9:24), Joshua knowing about Achan's sin. (Joshua 7:10-11), Elisha knowing that Gehazi lied to Naaman. (II Kings 5:20-27).

Imagine the daily routine of Noah. Noah's revelation about the ark was from God. However, Noah had to build the Ark (120 years) routinely-daily. He changed the architecture and construction  moments of his daily life.  You must decide to rename the moments of your life.

Noah had a few opportunities moments rename the moments of his lifeThe Drunkenness of Noah, Michelangelo Buonarroti, ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican, Rome, 1509. Michelangelo shows Noah drunk before his sons, and simultaneously, in the background, Noah planting his vineyard.. Some of his Noahs' names include priest,  architect,  preacher, and Tiller. The Drunkenness of Noah, Michelangelo Buonarroti, ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican, Rome, 1509. Michelangelo shows Noah drunk before his sons, and simultaneously, in the background, Noah planting his vineyard. Noah drunkenness also changed his name. According to several midrash, Satan assisted in the planting of the first vineyard, first sacrificing a sheep, a lion, an ape, and a hog, for after drinking the first cup of wine, Noah is mild like a sheep; after the second, Noah is courageous like a lion; after the third, Noah is like an ape; and after the fourth, Noah is like a hog who wallows in mud.

My beloved brother and sister. Hear the word of the Lord today. Do you hear my voice? If you hear the word of the Lord, harden not your heart. Today is an  opportunity to rename the moments of your life. Who knows how we'll end up! God has the pleasure of your completion. Who knows how we'll end up! What we know is that when Christ is openly revealed, we'll see him—and in seeing him, become like him. Yet, the word of the Lord to you my dear friends is that you don't have a future. Once you get to the future will rename it by calling it today. The secret to your calling is what you are practicing today. The best is yet to come.

Your best productivity is yet to come. Your productivity follows the Law of Augmenting returns. Increase! Your productivity follows the Law of Augmentation. Your creativity and productivity is like the stars. 'I will multiply your seed as the stars of the sky.   Your creativity and productivity is like the human cells. The total number of cells in the human body is estimated to be between 75 and 100 trillion, and through the normal wear and tear of living, billions of them must be regenerated every minute of the day and night. We completely change our skin approximately every 27 days. Your end is not counted by day, month and years. Your end is not a destination. Your end is a lifetime full of process. 

The process starts when your mind is ready. When your mind is ready, a revelatory teacher will appear. When the student is ready, the revelatory teacher appears." Who knows how we'll end up!  It doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. Who knows how we'll end up! This dignity is not fully revealed to us ourselves, much less to strangers, but we are sure of the accomplishment of it, in as much as we shall be like the Son of God himself and shall enjoy his sight indeed, such as he is now, but yet this is deferred until his next coming. Who knows how we'll end up!  Flesh  and blood  has not revealed this to you, but my heavenly Father.. Christ revealed is a mystery. The mystery is revealed.

The pleasure of completion is the process of becoming like Him. So, this is not the last job, rrelationship, trial residence, sunrise, assignment, sickness, meal, song, victory, healing, degree, blessing,  bank account, mistake,  home church, sunset, and friendship.  Submit to the process. Follow the trail of favor. Your productivity follows the Law of Augmenting returns. Make of list of people and circumstances that help increase you. Every decision creates increase or decrease. Nurture, people and circumstances that help increase you. Follow the trail of favor.

follow the trail of favor!
