TOPIC: BIND YOURSELF TO YOUR GOALS!
BASIC SCRIPTURE:2 KINGS 2:1-13
‘The life of Thomas Aquinas is a school on commitment/being JL focused. The Pocket Oxford Dictionary defines commitment thus: “To pledge or BIND (especially oneself) to a certain cause or policy.” Accordingly, before you are promoted by the supernatural forces to your next level in life, family and ministry, your commitment o your goals will always be tested! By age fourteen, the man Thomas Aquinas was a student at the University of Naples in Italy.

The family was wealthy and wanted him j to become a businessman, instead of taking a vow to live in poverty. When the 15-month kidnap I attempt failed, the family then I arranged for a beautiful I prostitute to tempt him!
Again, •the plan failed! Finally, they I offered to PURCHASE FOR HIM, the position of Archbishop of [Naples, a practice called, “INVESTITURE” which was common •with the wealthy in those days. However, because Aquinas understands what it meant to be bound (committed) to a goal or a life’s dream, he turned down that “LUCRATIVE” offer. He went rather to the University of Paris from where his fame rose as the ‘Angelic doctor.” He produced many academic write ups in which [he attempted to reconcile the thoughts of Aristotle and the Bible.
Because he was dedicated and committed to his vision like Elisha [was committed to his dream of a double portion of Elijah’s anointing •despite many frustrating trials, Aquinas’ write ups were branded as Ian ideology: ‘Thomason.” Wonderful! Likewise, in this STORY TO GLORY year 2019, your commitment to your life’s goals will be I rested! Only those who pass the test will be compensated.
