Too often people are encouraged to get a job, go to school,
or go back to school which is honorable. But what they aren't told much or
trained to do is getting into their place of purpose. For example, I heard one
of the greatest illustrations of what it means to flow with the chords of
purpose or thing God has called one into. A person who aspires to play an
instrument will first be taught by the book on how to so that they develop the
fundamentals. But eventually they'll get to the place, after investing time in
study, where the book can become a crutch or hindrance and move away from it to
enter a place of flowing with the inspirations of the Spirit; personalizing
their works. This is the focus of topic. Teaching people how to transition away
from the book [ordinary, routine, program, or human standard] is like weaning a
baby from the bottle to the Sippy cup. If not done during the appropriate time
frame it can possibly lead to additional problems like stippling dental health.
Education or doing things strictly by the program is great starting out but can
eventually snuff out the innovation it takes to apply those fundamentals;
allowing gift and education to give birth to purpose. Out of all that's been
taught to you, has it made contact with the gift you were born with? In older
generations most times the children were taught the family business because it
was custom that they took over once the parents were no longer able to work any
more with the objective to take what was handed down to another level of
success. Like Moses, who was educated and then became a Sheppard before
becoming one to the Children of Israel. David was a skilled warrior along with
being a keeper of his father’s sheep before God anointed him to do likewise with His
sheep. Jesus, who worked as a carpenter later declared that if the temple be
destroyed, speaking of Himself, that He'd rebuild it in three days. In each of
the illustrations all had a starting place where they learned, knowingly or unknowingly,
the fundamentals before they took what they learned and fused it with their
gift, which launched them into purpose.
