LIVING IN YOUR WEALTHY PLACE HERE ON EARTH

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13

Faith and trust are everything when we are trying to live in a good place here on earth. Without faith we cannot know Jesus. Without trust we cannot receive the promises he has stored up for us. We all know that our destination is eternal life with God in heaven. However, God has put us in this world for a reason. There is a reason for everything God does, and you and I must do our best to obey his every command. Many years ago, God led me to the following information that has helped me tremendously in my walk with Christ. It has helped me to live in this world knowing that I am here for a reason and that if I follow the ways of Jesus, I will be able to accomplish my role. I was led to understand that if I follow these steps, I would be able to live my life in my wealthy place here on earth.

1. Discipline yourself to diligently listen to God.
2. Don’t listen to the worldly system.
3. Keep your eyes on God’s Word and be a doer and not a hearer only.
4. Love God and all of God’s people.
5. Walk in love, remembering that God is love.
6. Stay away from covetousness.

Many of you may already know these things and are doing them in your life. As we focus on God, our lives here on this earth become our wealthy place, as we able to overcome our anxieties and fears, and accept God’s promises for our lives with open arms. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
