Three Benefits of Living Purposefully
Living on purpose may come with challenges, but there are benefits. It distinguishes you from the masses. Discover three benefits of living purposefully in Christ from this article.
Rest in the Lord
God is so creative that He has given each person a unique fingerprint since the time of Adam. That implies that you are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 127:14), and there’s no replica of you anywhere on the earth. Why don’t you believe this truth in order to put your mind to rest in the Lord?
Stand for the Truth
In 1 Kings 22, Micaiah, a prophet of the secret place, saw that King Ahab would die if he went to war with Ramoth Gilead. But because his other prophets assured the king a win, he too decided to lie. He was scolded, and later told the truth. You don’t have to compromise just because your compatriots are doing same. Stand for the Truth of God’s Word.
All Nations Call You Blessed
We’re children of God. Hence, we’re children of the promise because Christ, Abraham’s seed, dwells in us (Galatians 3:29). Which means we have full access to partake in the blessings of Abraham. So whatever blessing God proclaimed on Abraham has been inherited by us.
Speak What You Want to See
You shall have what you say in prayer. But before that, you have to speak what you want to see. Is there anything in your life you don’t like? God has revealed that nuisance to you so that through you, He’ll bring redemption to it. Don’t watch things get spoilt in your life without doing anything about it.
Continue Sowing
Servant of God, you don’t handle the increase. God does (1 Corinthians 3:6). Do your part. Preach the message of Christ to all manner of people.
Go the Extra Mile by Praying and Fasting
The more you pray and fast, the more you yield to the Lord. And the more you yield to the Lord, the more He, through the Holy Spirit, will use you to do great things in His kingdom.
The Pathway to Greatness
Stop trivialising leaders and coveting their positions. You may not be the boss at your workplace. However, focus on serving and doing what’s godly but uncommon such as practising daily Bible reading, fasting, book reading and praying consistently. God will exalt you.
Why You Need to Fast
Fasting is like a hunger strike for many people because the average believer hasn’t been taught in church why he needs to fast alone. Find out why you need to fast in the scriptures today, whether done alone or as a corporate brethren.
Be Spiritually Illuminated
Don’t live in ignorance. Be hungry to know God more. Study the Bible yourself. Read right Christ-centred books yourself. Pray the Word yourself. Don’t be lazy and too dependent on other people to feed you spiritually. Invest in your personal spiritual growth.
Love Your Enemies
Let’s stop hating people because they don’t speak good things about us. If your name as God’s child is gossiped about somewhere by evil people, rejoice because Jesus is being made known because of you. Love your enemies.
Receive the Implanted Word of God
Lay aside all filthy thoughts the enemy sows in your mind when you have a grudge with someone, even in the same church or facing an issue in life. Forget about those things. Receive the implanted Word of God — that indirect teaching God is giving you as He helps you go through each life challenge. You’ll always come out better with renewed mindsets and experiential knowledge of the Lord.
