To live the abundant life, you have to understand that there are three fundamental dimensions to life: you, your network (environment), and your work. Remember, God created you and put you in an environment to work. However, the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your inner life. The more improved your inner life is the better the quality of your life.
Text
[Ephesians 3:20-21 KJV] “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, [21] Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen”.

The Bible teaches that all issues of life flows out of the heart; hence the need to keep our heart with all diligence. All the issues of life flows out of the heart. Your inner life determines the quality of your life. The quality of the life of a community is determined by the quality of the individuals who live there. This is the reasons why there is crime and violence in most ghettos and poor communities; The people there are often full of bitterness and anger.
The Bible tells us that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. You are no different from the way you think. The quality of your thoughts determine the quality of your choices and life and output. Hence, the need to make the tree good, if we want good fruits. The Bible admonishes us to “make the tree good and the fruits shall be good”
[Matthew 12:33 KJV] “Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit:.
A good tree will bring forth good fruits and a corrupt tree will bring forth corrupt fruits. As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. Couple who both have inner peace, joy, and righteousness, are able to build a peaceful, joyful and right marriage and home. The people make the marriage good, the marriage doesn’t make the people good.
So, to enjoy the abundant life of Christ, you must believe and be born again and be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Stay blessed; I love you!
