Recently I received an email that proclaim the new arrival of what they call it "ALLURE of the Seas". See pix of the vessel named Oasis of the Seas and visit their website at http://www.oasisoftheseas.com/ if you want to find out more at their image gallery.
Allurement or attractiveness is also pertinent in our life. After all Jesus did promised an abundant life in John 10:10. However he did warn against greed, citing that a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions in Luke 12:15.
Do not get me wrong. I am not against the Oasis but rather wish to highlight that the abundant life Jesus says is one filled with meaning or purpose and fulfilment. If He choose to financially bless you that is an added bonus. But like someone did say we cannot insist or treat Him like the genie of Aladdin's lamp for He is not our servant but our Sovereign Almighty God. Context of Habakkuk 3:17-18
Our purpose and aim in life should be
1. INTIMACY with God
2. INTERCESSION and connection especially with believers at NGC
3. INFLUENCE with people far from God
Let us continue to build upon the foundation of this year theme DOING MY FATHER'S BUSINESS - Luke 2:49
The journey is just important as the destination.
And...its a lifelong commitment
