ALTARS THAT ALTER PURPOSE

Young man, there are altars that can alter your purpose. An altar is a structure for the presentation of religious offerings, sacrifices, or for other ritualistic purposes. Altar is known mainly for its usefulness in sacrifice. There are altars of positive sacrifice while some are detrimental to what you are becoming. Young man, you must learn to present yourself as a living sacrifice on the altar of God. Conversely, you may place yourself on the wrong altar that will alter what you were designed to be. A key issue in this dose is to sacrifice the fleshy desire on a daily basis so as to avoid a deep void and shapelessness in your purpose. The altar of prayer, the altar of worship and the altar of obedience are viable altars to form you into shape. The altar of lust for money, power and positions are dangerous for who you are becoming. The altar of disobedience , drunkenness, lie, adultery, fornication and all manifestations of flesh are dangerous to your formation. The altar of flesh is dominantly a subset of the altar of Satan. Don't be misled young man. You are either on one altar or the other. On the altar of God, you let go of lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of life while on the other altar,  you let go of purpose, destiny and goals. Beware of the altar that alters purpose.  While Abraham, Isaac, David and Patriachs of old have sacrificed on the altar of God and became eternally relevant, the likes of Rubben, Saul, Solomon, Esau and Judas Iscariot. among others have sacrificed their purpose on the altar that altered them permanently.  Rubben ought to be the one with his father's first born blessing. He forfeited it because of his lust for his father's concubine. He became  unstable in all his ways. The altar of immorality altered his purpose for life. Esau also lost his birthright because of his lust for food though he was later exposed as a fornicator too. He sought for it but nothing was there for him again. His purpose was altered. Young man, beware you don't place yourself on the altar that will deform who you were designed to be. Judas Iscariot was a chief among the disciples of Jesus as he held a huge position of being the Treasurer. He was designed to be great in life but his purpose was hijacked on the altar of lust for money. He sold the savior for some amount. The altar of fleshy want and desires altered his destiny eternally. Young man, be careful to present yourself as a living sacrifice on the altar of God and you will become what you were designed to be. Beware of altars that can alter your purpose.
