“Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.” 1 Chronicles 29:11
God looks at life much differently than human beings. We want to satisfy our fleshly desires and enjoy life to the fullest. God wants you to find satisfaction in Christ and reach out to Him for your every need.
As human beings, you and I can experience moments of ecstasy but they disappear quickly. There is no sustaining power living for self. It is here today and gone tomorrow. And, the world can make no guarantees to you.
Human beings have an ending. Christ followers live forever.
The gratification of the world is alluring but it will lead to destruction. This is because the world is not under the authority of Christ
Christ promises to envelop you in His glory for eternity. There is no end to the salvation of Christ. He wants to live in every moment of your life both today and forever.
You can have an embracing relationship with Christ who has power and dominion over the heavens and earth.
All the promises of God in Christ are true and last forever. The promises of the world are cheap, short lived, and bring disaster.
Christ offers an abundant life filled with love, joy, peace and strength to overcome any difficulty in life. You cannot find these characteristics in your fleshly nature. They live with Christ.
The gift of Christ is life changing and lasts forever!
The pathway to the longevity of Christ:
Make a heart decision to live for Christ.
Confess your sins to Christ and ask for His blood to cover you.
Be open to the conviction of the Holy Spirit.
Walk by faith trusting in the promises of God.
Commit your works each day to Christ.
Pray diligently for the wisdom of Christ.
Recognize Christ lives in you through the Holy Spirit. Invite Him to have authority over your life.
Build your life on the values of Jesus through the study of Word of God.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Give praise and thanksgiving to Christ who lives so you can live!
