Mark 8:36 KJV] “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the world and lose his own soul. The real you comprises of your soul. Therefore, why should you make choices that may give you the whole world whilst you lose your own soul. You must do all that you can, to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Time is not on our side. We must make the most of all things.
Indeed, the craze for money, fame, luxury and ease is too much. Many are erring because they are running after things that don’t really matter. What is all the mad rush for? What are we chasing money and fame for? What shall it really profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? I pray that the Lord will help us find wisdom. I pray that we don’t run after things. I pray that we shall focus on working out the salvation of our souls.
Life is simple, and there are four simple tips to live right and wisely. Stop rushing and running around. Stop every silly drama. The secret to a good easy life without stress or pain or anxiety; but full of joy and peace and righteousness is:
- Earn a living
- Love God with all your heart
- Love one another and
- Disciple another
These are the four tips to living right and wisely.
1. Earning a living is the master-key to an honest life among those that are without;
To be able to live honestly, we must strive to find what to eat, what to wear and a place of shelter. This is why you must learn to work with your hands. The Bible tells us that “if you have what to eat and wear; be content therewith”. Life has priorities and it’s important to get those priorities right. So focus on getting;
- What to eat and drink
- What to wear and a place of shelter, then if you have excess,
- Reach out to the fatherless, widows and vulnerable
- Pursue a life development goal if you still have excess resources
This is what we call, earning a living; working to earn the things that are necessary for life.
2. Those who love God with all their hearts obey Him;
If you love God, you must keep His commandments. We must obey Him and keep His word. Obedience is the first sign of love. If you love God, you will keep His commandments.
3. If you love your neighbour as yourself, you will not harm them, hurt them, or stab them in the back;
God is love and when we love one another, we will be orderly and law-abiding.
4. Finally, you are called to disciple others;
In Matthew 28:18-20, we are told to go into the world and make disciples of the nations. You are called to make disciples of nations. So purpose to reach out.
This is how I live my life, and it is what it meaning to live for God. The Lord is ministering to me to raise an army that runs the Lord’s errands. You are blessed and you can disciple others. May you arise to earn a living, love God, love others, and disciple others. God bless you.
I love you;
