LIVE LIFE FOR GOD
Prayerfully and meditate new month as your month of living life for God.
In this wicked world, a time of rampant is continual with challenges.
Today, living life for God is the answer for all.
Living life for God demands to grow in the wisdom and knowledge of God.
Isaiah 33:6 speaks to all, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.”
Are you growing in the wisdom and knowledge of God, the source of strength, the only way to fear God and be stable in these challenging times?
As a way of life, pray nonstop that God will fill you with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Living life for God demands a reasonable service. Romans 12:1 admonishes, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.”
The self-satisfaction of acclaimed believers has taken place over sacrificial living for God. Being conformed to the world around you has taken over your commitment to God.
Does the word speak to you?
God creates all for His glory. (Revelation 4:11)
With desire, ask to be enabled to live life for the glory of God.
Living life for God is not a thing of mouth or religion but abiding by God.
Abide is to continue in a relationship without yielding or submitting.
To abide in Jesus is what Jesus demands from everyone that believes in Him. The book of John 8:31 records, “Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.”
Do you believe in Him?
Manifestly, claiming to be a believer and not abide in Him is a joke, which is ceremonial religion.
Today, to be living life before God, by many believers, does not demonstrate the testimony of one abiding by Jesus.
Think of it for a moment, does your way of life demonstrates the word of Jesus?
Failure to abide in Jesus is the evidence of pride which is the agent of failure.
Today, and ongoing by the grace of God, let the desire to be living life for God become your way of life.
In your desire, think and ask, ask and think, and God shall deposit in you. Ephesians 3:20 encourages, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”
Meditate by asking or thinking that God will enable you to live life before Him.
What does it mean to abide in Jesus, that is, living life for God?
1 John 3:24, “Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this, we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.”
The word of God is His commandment. One that is keeping His commandment is living obediently by His word.
Obedient to the word of God is living life before God.
Living life for God is to love.
Galatians 5:14 admonished all, “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Romans 13:8 states, “Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.”
God is love, knowing to love as word command is living life for God.
THE EVIDENCE OF NOT LIVING LIFE FOR GOD, NOT ABIDING IN HIM.
John 8:32 records, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” One that does not receive the truth will see it as a threat and does not accept it to abide in it.
Those who do not receive the truth are in bondage of pride; they are not free to be corrected or redirected, not living life for God.
Those who do not abide in Him are rebellious, not living life for God. Job 24:13 buttresses, “There are those who rebel against the light; they do not know its ways nor abide in its paths.” Jesus is the wisdom from God for all. (1 Corinthians 1:30)
Live life for God to give your ears to hearing the rebukes of life just like Proverbs 15:31 admonishes, “The ear that hears the rebukes of life, will abide among the wise.”
Claiming to live life for God or live life before God is not different, and you shall carry the mark as one that belongs to God.
Pray with understanding to live life before God.
