We can't run with purpose if we don't know what God is calling us to do. If the joy of the Lord is to be our strength we need to fellowship with Him.
Luke 14: 16 to 24
Don't allow land to keep you from following God.
Don't allow work to keep you from following God.
Don't allow family to keep you from following God.
We need to remove all things that hinder us from following God. God wants us to be involved in building His Kingdom.
