LIVING THE GOOD LIFE

♦Every Believer Is Expected to Enjoy the GOOD LIFE that Christ brought for Us to the Full until it Overflows to touch the World Around Us.

                   *John.10.10amp."The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows)."

         -Even from the Very Beginning of Creation,God after Evaluating His Work of Creation,said it was Good and Pleasant.

                    *In Gen.1:31amp."And GOD SAW everything that He had made and Behold,It was very GOOD(Suitable,Pleasant)and He Approved it Completely.And there was Evening and there was Morning,a Sixth Day."

    -When God is thinking of your Life,He has a Planned Enjoyable Life Lined out for you.God Loves to See you Enjoy your Life in Christ.

     -When God is Thinking of a"GOOD ENJOYABLE LIFE" for you,He is Saying to you 

                  *TO TAKE HOLD OF YOUR LIFE AND GET THE BEST OUT OF IT WHILE HAVING FUN BASKING IN THE LOVE OF HIS SON JESUS.

 

    -It is the Desire of God that We Delight in the GOOD LIFE that He Has Already Prearranged for Us in Christ.

                   *Eph.2.10amp." For we are God 's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]."

   ♦Most People are Living Life alright,but Few are Really Enjoying the Life they are Living.Living the GOOD LIFE Starts with a TOTAL HEAVENLY MAKEOVER that Transforms you into GOD'S MASTERPIECE in your INNER HIDDEN MAN OF THE HEART.

                      *Eph.2:10Nlt"For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago."

 

  ♦Well,you may Say,nothing GOOD is Working around me,and nothing is Working for my GOOD since I Was Born.

          -HEAR  the WORD OF THE LORD, according to ROM.8:28"ALL THINGS work together for the GOOD of them that Love God and are the Called According to His Purpose.

        

   ♦From this DAY Henceforth,I MAKE BOLD TO DECLARE

                       -You will SEE GOOD, EAT GOOD and Experience GOOD THINGS in your LAND and in the Nations of World.

 

        -It is the Desire of God that We not only Delight in the GOOD LIFE,but We Should also Dispense the GOOD LIFE to Others.

               *Gen.12.2amp."And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you [with abundant increase of favors] and make your name famous and distinguished, and you will be a blessing [dispensing good to others]."

        ♦ TO TRULY ENJOY AND LIVE OUT THIS GOOD LIFE

    1.DESIRE GOD AND ENJOY HIM

                   *Psalm 37:4 KJV

Delight thyself also in the Lord ; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

             -God wants you to Desire HIM and Be Happy In HIM.

                    *C.S.LEWIS noted that"There is a Kind of Happiness and Wonder that makes you Serious"

            *Jeremy Taylor noted that "God threatens Terrible Things if We will not be Happy."

          -We Should be Joyful Serving God and be Happy in God and not in things.We Should Delight in our Fellowship with the Father,and Everything will be Alright.

                 *Deuteronomy 28:47-48 KJV

Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things ;

 [48] Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things : and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

       ♦Accordingg to John Piper,"GOD IS MOST GLORIFIED IN US WHEN WE ARE MOST SATISFIED IN HIM.

        -The Chief End of Man is to Glorify GOD by Enjoying Him forever.

   2. FILL YOUR MOUTH WITH PRAISE

        -AS YOU DESIRE GOD AND ENJOY HIM,IT WILL SPONTANEOUSLY OVERFLOW INTO PRAISE. 

            *Psalm 34:1 KJV

I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

 

         -Praise and Thanksgiving is a Spontaneous Response you Express when your Delighting in Something and Enjoying that thing.

         -Praise is an Expression you can't Help Doing about Everything Else You Value.We always Channel our Praise towards anything we Value and Appreciate.

         -God is not Worshipped Where He is not Treasured and Enjoyed.

          -Praise is an Expression of Joyful Delight in God.Not to Enjoy God is to Dishonor Him.

          -Never Allow Complaining and Murmuring around you,So you can Sparkle in Life.Philip.2:13-16

          -To Say to God,that Something Else Satisfies You more than HIM,is the Opposite of Worship,and that is a Sacrilege.Rom.2:22

NOTE:

         -Let this motivate your Praise and Thanksgiving "God is Glorified by our Joy in Him and that Joy in Him is the Very thing that makes Praise an Honor to GOD.".

           -Praise Flows as We learn to find more  Pleasure in God.Are you Pleasured in God,or in the things you get from HIM.?

           -A Hypocrite is Someone who try to Praise when they have no Pleasure in the Object or Person.

          -What is your Delight in Life?Where are you getting your Satisfaction in life?What gives you Pleasure in Life?Whats your Groove?

    3.BE PRESENCE OF GOD CONSCIOUS

                 *Psalm 16:11 KJV

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

         -Let GOD be the Focus of your DELIGHT&PLEASURE and you will joyfully start Enjoying the Good Life He Has Already Prepared for you in Christ.

         -Step into that Path of Life that leads you to the Good Life by Accepting the Love of Christ into Your Heart.Do Enjoy the Good Life.BE BLESSED AND PROSPER

Keep on Sparkling.
