[Romans 14:17-19 KJV] “For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men. Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.”
The Bible tells us in John 10:10 that Jesus Christ came that we may have life and abound with life. This life is what we receive when we believe. This is the abundant life that comes through Christ. This maximum life is a life that has the maximum expression and manifestation of its full potential. Maximum living is giving expression or manifestation to that abundant life you have received.
Living the maximum life is making the lifestyle choices that allow you to manifest, emanate, and show the grace and gift of righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost which you received when you believed. This is the abundant and kingdom life that was promised and delivered to us (See John 10:10). Anything less or more than this is either perversion or abuse of the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness (See Romans 5:17).
If the life you are living does not and cannot afford you the opportunity to manifest righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost, then you are abusing grace. You must be able to manifest these three pillars of maximum life clearly.
It is important to understand that while abundant life is a gift, maximum living is a choice. You will have to make choices that allow you to manifest the abundant life you received. Many are unable to live their maximum life because they are making poor choices. I pray for you that you will not fail or fall short of this life of righteousness, peace and joy. May the Lord guide our hearts and choices to help us live the maximum life.
This is God’s best for us, and none shall fall short of that. May you not fail of this grace. You will and must live your life to the max. I pray that nothing will stand between you and abundant living. God has given us life and we ought to manifest that life. Remember that there is a thief out there trying to stop you from living right and having peace and joy; don’t allow him. Make choices that will help you live your life to the max!
I love you!
