Obedience to God’s Word is Key to Enjoying Life!

“God is bringing you to a place of rest so that you can focus on the things concerning His purpose for you on earth without any interruptions of misfortunes.”

Please read John 10:10 ; 1 Kings 5:4 ;Hebrews 11:6; John 15:7 ;1 Corinthians 13;Leviticus 27: 30-32;Prov 3:9-10

Dear Friend,
In the past several weeks we have been studying on how to enjoy life at its fullest with regards to faith ,family and finances. The anchor scriptures are taken from John 10:10 and 1 Kings 5 : 4.It is very clear from these scriptures that the one adversary who steals from you, kills and destroys every aspect of life is Satan. God's intent is to give you rest on every side so there is no adversary or misfortune in your life. Wow! this is too good to be true. Sounds like a fantasy but that is God’s will for our lives. He desires for us to enjoy life at its fullest. But that path to the good life can only be attained through Jesus Christ and our total obedience to His word. No matter how well intentioned we are to have strong faith, strong family, or attain a strong financial position in life , our willingness to give the word of God first place in our lives is the determining factor to enjoying life at its fullest.

Faith is simply believing in God and acting according to that belief. Faith begins where the will of God is known. Therefore if you believe that God has saved you from sin, then you act like it. If you believe that God’s will is for you to enjoy the good life, then be diligent to be word –of- God -driven in everything you do and resist every form of setback Satan brings. You do not have to cower under bed covers moaning over pain and sicknesses. You have to stand on the word and resist sickness knowing that by His stripes you were healed. Refuse to stay depressed under a mountain of bills that are due. Instead make sure you have done the will of God by paying your tithes and giving your offerings. Then declare with joy that “I believe that my bills are paid.” As one who tithes, God rebukes the devourer for my sake and as a giver, He supplies all my needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.

Successful communication makes a successful marriage. When communication is ineffective it hurts. If you do not get your oil changed in your car on schedule , your engine may malfunction. Effective communication born out of wisdom from the word of God and prayer will facilitate peaceful relationships. Husbands, Wives, children, slow yourselves down and talk. Cultivate intimate relationships by doing things together. If you are in a relationship, It is worth fighting for it to work.

My friend, it is the perfect will of God for you to enjoy overflowing prosperity but there is a condition attached to that overflow. We see it echoed in several scriptures such as In Deuteronomy 5: 29. God reveals that when we honor Him by obeying all His commandments then it shall be well with us and our children forever. He has commanded us to pay the first tenth of our income to Him. If it is not first tenth, it is not tithe. Giving God first place is what constitutes honor. In 2 Corinthians 9 : 6-12 we are told that we will enjoy abundance if we give cheerfully and willingly.

As you continue to learn the Word of God your capacity is expanded to receive even more. Focus on the Word of God.
