Scripted Life - Episode 2 "Tailor Made Script"

In Hollywood, it is common practice for producers and script writers to pen down a script with a particular person in mind whose talent, character and personality fit perfectly the main character of the movie.  Also, many producers and directors shoot the end part of the movie script and work backwards to finish the rest of the movie.

In God’s word it is obvious that a life script has been prepared for each person on earth and that script is tailor made to fit our own distinctive character, personality, gift, talent and anointing. 

“In Him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan (script) of Him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of His will 

(master plan)”  -Ephesians 1:11

When a person is reconciled with his eternal script, a natural affinity and connection takes place because the script was made for you and you were made for the script. God in His infinite wisdom has invested all the right resources both in our self and our script before we were dispatched into time and space from eternity. And the moment we meet our tailor-made script, activation of passion, vision, strength and all the resources given in eternity  occurs and life is shifted to a different dimension of explosive living altogether! Everyone’s script is unique and significant and these are seamlessly synchronised to the Master Plan of the Almighty. God has scrupulously weaved and interlaced every person and their script into His complex yet profound tapestry of His eternal plan, underscoring our significance before God and our purpose in this world. Nothing is wasted in the economy of God’s Kingdom and everyone and everything are interconnected for a grand exhibition of God’s master plan at the end whether we are aware of it or not. 

What I do in my neck of the woods whether consciously or unconsciously, affects creation and untold millions across the earth! That’s why a gentle flutter of a butterfly’s wing in one part of the world can potentially trigger a most deadly natural disaster in another part of the world. This ‘butterfly effect’ exemplifies the wisdom of God in creation—appointing all things to exist symbiotically, mutually supplying for each other’s need and resourcing the fulfilment of our destinies. And the slightest disruption and fracturing of this divine arrangement robs us of reciprocally leveraging the fulfilment of each other’s life script on earth.  

That’s why breaking divine relationships that God has strategically arranged for us means cutting off supplies and resources given by heaven for the fulfilment of our script. The provision of God for our life and purpose are locked up in the people God has called us to walk in covenant relationship with.  Remember, everything in this world is interconnected and linked divinely for their mutual benefit and resourcing, which all works in conformity to God’s ultimate plan for planet earth (Ephesians 1:11).        

Another Hollywood concept that we can all learn from, is that the funds and resources needed to produce a movie script are secured first before the actors are approached to actualize the script. It is just like God who has already made provision for our life script before He apprehends and appoints us for its realization! When we come into contact with our tailor-made script, we shouldn’t be too concerned about the resources needed to make it happen because all has been provided for it by our eternal Producer —God.

One person who is crucial in the production of an entire movie in Hollywood is the director. The director knows the end of the movie from the beginning and sometimes the end of the movie is shot first which helps align the rest of the   production to a glorious end! God who is the director of life has already shot and produced the end of our life movie. In fact He has finished the production of our entire script in eternity before He even started with us here on earth! Our life story should always be a BLOCKBUSTER HIT in the cinemas of life before God and man, if we utterly surrender to the ultimate director of life and His life script for us.

But if we play director, script-writer, producer and also the actor of our own script, life will be insignificant, below average, mundane, lack lustre and we will struggle through life being duped to believe that we are living heaven’s prescribed plan on earth. It’s time to STOP the foolish and wasteful living and get back to God and live the life that He has preordained for us all.

“For I know the plans (script) I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to proper you and not to hard you, plans to give you hope and a future”
 –Jeremiah 29:11

God’s plan is Block Buster Living all the

time!!!

The Scripted Life - Episode 1

Did you know that our life (past, present, future) has been scripted from eternity before any one of us came to planet earth? Imagine how easy, fulfilling and thriving life would be if we could apprehend our tailor-made script and live it out passionately? Think of how much wasted time, money, energy, focus, emotion and thought we could have saved if we had known our eternal script and lived it wisely and more accurately?
Many in the world are waking up at 40, 60 and 70 plus years later only to regret having lived an unfruitful and unproductive life - having lived an entire life missing the mark! It’s a case of ONE BIG WASTED LIFE! Some have had great success in many areas and yet still gone to the grave discontented, disappointed and empty. Why do you think this is so?
Welcome to this series on “scripted living” designed specifically to bring God’s wisdom into our lives, hoping that some degree of realignment and adjustment can be made early in our lives so that we can possess the BEST of both worlds (spiritual and natural) here on earth.

“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me; with burnt offerings and sin offerings you were not pleased. Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in your scroll—I have come to do your will
O God” - Hebrew 10:5-7 NIV

An in-depth study of the life of Christ reveals a peculiar principle that applies to every human on the face of the earth. The entirety of Jesus’ earthly life, ministry and mission were pre-scrolled or scripted before he was born in the manger, in Bethlehem. The Old Testament was the embodiment of the script for the life and works of Christ and the New Testament was the outworking of the script in which Christ executed to its finest detail! Even Christ attested to the concept by admitting that He had not come to destroy the Law and the Prophets—(the totality of the Old Testament), but to fulfill it! Jesus knew that entrenched and encoded in the Old Testament was His life script and His primary task was to materialize it on earth, and not to live contradictory to the script.

“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them” –Matthew 5:17 NIV.

For Christ, the Old Testament was the script (it is written about me in your scroll) and the New Testament was its earthly fulfilment! On the cross, Jesus’ last utterance was “It is finished” (John 19:30). And this complete work and total execution of His script has shaken and revolutionised civilizations ever since! No other name has had a profound impact on the earth in all its realms except the name of JESUS! Why? He was a man that lived a scripted life! Imagine the impact that you and I can have if we can apprehend our script and live it out fervently also?
Another crucial phrase that must be pointed out from our text is—a body you prepared for me! The whole existence of Christ from birth until His ministry induction at 30 years of age was a process of preparing a BODY for the script. Jesus’ ministry only lasted 3 and half years. But what an earth-shattering impact He has had in the world! Many have been in God’s work for 50 years and even more, yet still their collective influence still falls short of the glory of Christ’s ministry. The kung fu icon Bruce Lee only released 4 movies in his entire career, but they set such a bench mark that many of his peers and generations of kung fu superstars after him are still struggling to match and duplicate his intensity, quality and standard. The secret was his body was so conditioned and disciplined that it highly energised, enhanced and enriched every movie script he played.

I believe that deliberately crafting and preparing the vessel (body) for God’s script should be our cardinal focus. Flaky, shallow and ill disciplined Christians will not prosper in the purposes of God regardless of their best effort. Many have rushed out to do this and that for God, but have trivialised the strict training and discipline process. They are in danger of wasting a lifetime doing things entirely contrary to their script. Some on the other hand invent and fabricate their own script and their end is a self-inflicted insurmountable burden and an unbridgeable chasm between them and God. The script writer of our lives will eventually be the epicentre and core essence of our existence. If we are living to God’s script, God will be the nucleus of our being. If we are the author of our own script, then we will be the centre and source of our life and what a wretched and pitiful life it will be!

Many Christians today need a massive dose of humility so that they can submit to their local churches (training centres), pastors (mentors) and other aspects of God’s process until they are made ready and appropriate for their heavenly scroll. A clear sign that we are incongruent with our script are the unnecessary harm, confusion and oppression we inflict on ourselves and those around us! If we invest more in our appropriation regardless of how painful the process may be, the execution of our script will be swift, powerful, effortless and total!
Most of our problems in God are not derived from the script, but from us. God’s script is eternally perfect, anointed and designed to succeed given that the vessel (body) is at peak condition! God’s primal responsibility is the script and ours is the preparation of the body—a body you prepared for me (Hebrew 10:5b). When the perfect script of heaven meets a conditioned and meticulously prepared body, exponential explosion takes place on all levels. Life becomes joyful, triumphant and extravagant! This is when we constantly live life on the crest of God’s power, abundance and success guaranteeing victories at all times. This is what the bible calls doing the WILL of God. It’s a lot of fun if we focus on doing our part well and allowing God to do what He does best!

In summary: Script + Body = Will. This is the equation for kingdom prolific and successful living. The Will of God will organically and effortlessly manifest if we invest more time, energy and resources deliberately fashioning and appropriating the body for the perfect script of heaven.
