Are you ready to live for God?
Are you ready to live for God? Most of us are serving the Lord because of what we want to benefit from him.
Everyone knows that God promised that he would bless and protect his children. There are a lot of promises that God has made in the Bible for his children.
He also promised that he would fight their battles and give them rest. The Lord also told us that he will bless the works of our hands and make a way for us where there is no way.
Our father also promised that he would cause men to fall for us and to bless us too. The reason so many of us are not experiencing God’s promises is because of our sinful nature.
We are not perfect, but he loved us even with our sins, and he wants us to improve. For us to experience all the blessings that our creator has made for us, we must obey him all the time.
When we sin against him, let us do our best to ask for forgiveness. The devil will try his best to trap us with guilt so that we won’t go back to our father (God).
All the commandments and rules that the Lord has given to us are to protect us. He wants to guide us through life and help us achieve great things.
A sinful lifestyle is not fun.
The devil has lied to many of us by making us believe that sin is fun while it is not. At the moment, it might look or feel great, but after many months or years, everyone starts to regret it.
- Many people who started gambling thought it would be fun when they started, but later they are now in debt.
- Smokers and drug dealers enjoyed it at the beginning, but they have health issues now.
- Those who gossip, lie, and hold grudges are now lonely, with no one to be their friend or trust them.
- People who like to compare their lives to others with envy are now unhappy and unproductive.
- Youths and adults that sleep around will end up with STDs or unwanted pregnancies that will limit their future.Â
The best decision we can make in life is to serve the Lord and obey him. God does not want to control us; that’s why he gave us the “power of free will.”
As a child of God, it is up to us to use our free will to choose the will of God. Many of us don’t really know how much God loves us.
There is no one on this face of earth who served the Lord faithfully and regretted it. Those wild lifestyles and friends will never contribute to our growth in the future.
Is It Time to Die?
The word of God told us that we must die to our flesh so that we can live for God.
Romans 8:13:
“For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.”
Galatians 5:24,
“And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.”
The word of God is not trying to make us not chase our dreams but to do them godly. Earth is not our permanent home, so we must be careful about how we live life.
Not every bad thought and plan that comes to our mind should be carried out. Those bad thoughts are from the devil, and he wants to destroy us in hell.
There are bad friends that the enemy (the devil) has sent to take us away from God. No one is allowed to be our friend because our goals are different.
Let us do the right thing by putting God first and chasing our dreams and passions in a godly way.
