WARNING
Being successful or obtaining your goals does not require having a relationship with God. God allows anyone to be successful but it is not given, it is earned. Yes, He does help but that is the benefit of having a relationship with Him. Fair? Maybe, maybe not, but if you had the opportunity to get mentorship from someone who was great, would you turn it down? Of course not! Life is all about the decisions you make or don't make and how you respond to them that will define your success.
Success is a system that has been studied and manipulated by educated individuals who have strong circles. As you study success understand that anyone can be successful in anything they pursue as long as they have the ingredients, the perseverance, and the innovation to circumvent their competitors. Success has different paths for anyone who pursues it. All you have to do is figure your path and attack it for as long as it takes to get to your destination.

Walk With Me
Are you in a career where it seems that you have hit the ceiling, but you can not break through? Have you been blessed with everything only to lose it? Do you feel like there is more to life, but you are not exactly sure what is missing? Do you feel accomplished and complete, yet still feel empty? These are some of the questions that will be answered throughout our journey. If you are intent on discovering, understanding, fulfilling and maintaining your purpose while obtaining your blessing, getting "NLIGN" is for you.
Relationships
Since I decided to read the Bible in its entirety, a constant theme has occurred over and over again. That theme is "relationship". Whether it is having relationship with God, or with people in your life, relationships are the inspiration that allows for people to persevere when ordinarily they would not. Strengthening your relationship with God will allow for you to believe and trust in Him when situation tells you not too. Adversity occurs to show how much faith you have in God as well as the people in you have in your life. The difference is God will never let you down. Only you and others can give up on you, but God will never give up on you. The experiences will not get easier as you relationship grows with God, but your mindset should never doubt that God is in control.
Adversity occurs to show you how strong your relationship with God is and who you should be allowed within your circle
Purpose Equals Blessing
Purpose is defined as the reason for which something exists or is done, made, used, etc. Your purpose is what God has given you to fulfill throughout the course of your life. Blessings are a special favor or gift, mercy or benefit, approval or good wishes. The invoking of God's favor upon a person. Blessings occur whether or not you are living within your purpose, but you can limit or lose out on your blessings by not living within your purpose. Being on the right path will bring the correct people in your circle, blessings, and a happiness that can only be fulfilled when you are walking within God's purpose.
When you are fulfilling your purpose you will not only be blessed, you will be a blessing to others while being fulfilled.
YOUR ACTION IS REQUIRED to Obtain Your Blessing
If you want to be successful, YOU have to understand your purpose in life. Having a relationship with God and knowing your purpose will not automatically guarantee success and being blessed. Action that is efficient and time sensitive is required. There are many successful people who do not believe in or acknowledge God. What the successful have in common is that they have aligned themselves with their purpose and created successful systems to become and stay successful. When you truly align yourself with God, mentally you become stronger because you know you are always protected. If you are a follower of Christ, getting in line with God's purpose will easily align you with your purpose. The problem is will you accept your calling and will you consistently and efficiently work within His vision? The above images illustrate how important YOU and more importantly your actions are when it comes to obtaining the blessings God has for you. If you do not work and fight for your blessings, you will never obtain them. Get in line with God's vision and you will understand your purpose. If you do this and are faithful despite the season, your blessings will be guaranteed to you if not in this lifetime but in the next.
Matthew 6:24-34 (NLT)24 “No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.
25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? 28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith? 31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.33 Seek the Kingdom of God[a] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. 34 “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today. |
Get In Line; Stay AlignedGet "in line" with your purpose simply means follow God with your heart, mind, body, and soul. Trust Him wherever He may decide to take you and go.
Stay "aligned" with His purpose means cooperate and make adjustments regardless of what you may have to endure. IF you are aligned with the will of God, you have no reason to worry. So the question is, are you going after what God wants you to have? Are you fulfilling the purpose He has given you? Are you turning down God's best for for your dreams? Are you patient enough to allow God to change you, and prepare you for what He has for you WITHOUT giving up on Him? Do you trust God enough to give up on your own dreams for His? Are you able to stay focused on God and fulfill his expectations once you have been blessed? Matthew 6:24-34 is a very easy passage to read and understand, but living this passage is tough to do consistently. A Fellow Believer in ChristI have always been told that as a believer I should read the bible in its entirety. I have been a follower of Christ for practically my entire life. Unfortunately, I have not read the entire Bible in its entirety. Up until February 11, 2017 I had not attempted to read the entire Bible from cover to cover. I read passages and took part in devotionals, but I did not see any true purpose in reading the entire book. I felt God would lead me to the passages and readings that I needed to read and focus on. As I have begun to complete the goal of reading the entire bible, I have understood that my mindset was wrong. I should not be reading to just read the Bible, but I should be reading to understand what purpose God has for me. NLIGN is my journey and my insight on purpose, leadership, obtaining blessings, and developing and maintaining circles. We have heard the stories about how God wants us to be successful, but what is our role within His purpose and how do our actions and decisions help or hinder what is meant for us? Hopefully, my perspective can help you with your perspective as we take this walk together.
