Holy Dissatisfaction

We have been taught that DISSATISFACTION is not good. But, you know, sometimes, dissatisfaction can come from God. In other words, God can cause you to be dissatisfied with anything in your life. Okay... what do you feel now? Do you still feel reading the rest of the message? I know you are disturbed with these words right now. But  I want you not to be dissatisfied right now, but keep on reading the rest of the story.

Well, God has a plan for every one of us. But unfortunately, many of us do not identify His Plan for our lives at the very outset. As a result, we continue to move in the direction which we think God has placed for us. Although God has a plan for your life, God never forces you to fulfill it. But the moment we prove to be ready for it, God begins to guide us to start working according to His plan by taking steps to move us out of the direction in which we have been moving so far. Sometimes, we may have come a long way in our own direction by the time God is going to take us to His plan. But you know, God is neither late nor early to implement His own plan in your life at the moment you prove to be ready to accept it.
You know, when God wants to do something in the physical realm, He always prefers to do it in the most natural way possible. So, when God wants you to switch to God's plan all of a sudden, you may not encounter with God saying, "Oh My child, I am God speaking from Heaven, now I am going to implement My Plan for you life. So come out of your own plan right now!!!"  This sounds pretty good. Doesn't it? But it doesn't happen like that as God's method is so natural although God Himself is Supernatural.

So, what is God's natural way to get you out of your own path, through which you may have been moving through up to now, to His path in order that you step out to fulfill God's plan?

Yes, God would do it through HOLY DISSATISFACTION. God would cause you to be dissatisfied with what you have been doing so far, so that that you get the urge to come out of it. We call it HOLY DISSATISFACTION because it is coming from God with a Holy Purpose.

But how do you identify when you encounter with HOLY DISSATISFACTION?

The moment, you feel dissatisfied with the way you have been doing something in your life so far, it is time for you to check whether this dissatisfaction is from God. It is very simple to distinguish HOLY DISSATISFACTION and our own CARNAL DISSATISFACTION.  Here is the WAY...

Whenever you feel dissatisfied with what you are doing at the moment, check for yourself whether this dissatisfaction is causing you to move away from the Lord. In other words, check whether your dissatisfaction is based on any worldly or carnal desire or encourages you to get closer to evil or the devil rather than to good or God.

Generally, the dissatisfaction you receive from God is based on the fact that you find hindrances in the path you travel for reaching out to God. For example, when you really feel thirsty for getting closer to God, you find that your current way of doing things distracts you to achieve this, so that you get a kind of a dissatisfaction. Truly, it is coming from God as it is not based on CARNALITY.

You know, when I started to seek God with all my heart in 2009, I started to receive the deliverance from all kinds of slavery in my life. Then, I started to love the Lord as never before. When I started to enjoy healing in my body after so many years, I started to cry in the presence of God repenting over my sinful life which I had led in the past. Even now, it's so surprising to see how God endured my iniquities when I was sinning against God.  Now I feel I have sinned against God more than anyone in the world. It's so amazing to see the amount of patience Jesus Christ was having towards my miserable life. Truly He waited patiently when it was the right time for Him to touch my life.

When this miraculous transformation took place in my life, I started to hate what I had been doing over the years. I started to hate my daily routine job which I had been doing since 1994. I could no longer stay in my office confining myself to 8 to 10 hours of paper work. Truly, I was dissatisfied with my job which I had been doing for more than 15 years. Why? because I had a burning within me to do something for the Lord.

When I started to read the Bible, I understood that I am not in the center of God's will for my life. I understood that God is expecting something else from my life. I said, "Lord, I want to do something for You. But I don't know what to do. I know I am not a capable person to serve you like other church leaders do. But Lord, I can make myself available for you so that you can make me capable to serve you in any manner You have planned for my own life."

Dear friends, every one of us is unique before God. God has made us so unique so that God can use every one of us to build different parts of The Church, which is the Body of Christ. All are not called to be pastors. All are not called to be evangelists. All are not called to be prophets. All are not called to serve in the full time ministry.
But none of us is called to be simply a BELIEVER or a kind of a SUNDAY WORSHIPER. Yes, all are called to serve God according to God's divine plan in the life of every one of us. Thus, God has a unique plan for your life and mine.  So, it is our responsibility to seek God for His Plan in our life if we are confronting with a HOLY DISSATISFACTION with any area in our life.
