How many times have you said to yourself, why does it appear those living any old kind of way continues to prosper? I know some CME folks (Christmas, Mother’s Day and Easter) church goers. God is the farthest thing away from their mind. They continue to get stuff and things while I other the other hand, stay on my knees, attend church service every Sunday, bible study on Wednesday you name it. It all seems so unfair!!! Fortunately, I now know that this is the trick of the devil.
When it is all said and done guess what? 1) We all die 2) You take nothing with you. No matter how much wealth you have, you can’t buy your way out of the grave. Be careful that you are not envious of your neighbors stuff because they have to die and leave it here. When was the last time you thought about your mortality? All the things you have someone will have to do something with those things when you die. If you don’t believe me read Psalm 49:16-17 “Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. For when he dies he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him”. (ESV)
When we start to understand our Purpose we become wealthy. Our life purpose should be to live like God. “Even when you are doing well, living on-purpose and making a difference, God will prune your life back and lead you into outwardly-unproductive wilderness seasons to gain a greater grip on your heart”. (Tony Stoltzfus – A leader’s life purpose).
As a Christian Life Coach I am constantly confirming with my clients that God has a purpose for their lives. You were born by design. Living on purpose is living that life that God has called you to live. One of the first things I do is administer a Spiritual Gifts Assessment Questionnaire. Once you know your spiritual gift everything else is centered on those gifts.
Living on purpose is doing what you were born to do. The assessment provides you with direction. You will be amazed once you know what you are suppose to do your life is completely transformed.
When you are living in and on purpose you have secured your seat in the kingdom. With that said are you wealthy (worldly) or are you wealthy (spiritually). I am spiritually wealthy. I don’t care what happens in this world God has promised me that if I am obedient he will give me a home somewhere in his kingdom.
Let’s live life on purpose. Purpose Driven Life Coaching is here to guide you along the journey. “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19 ESV).
Action Step – Create a list divide that list into 3 parts (things you have to have, things that make no difference either way and things you can absolutely do without). Once complete contact me meverett24@verizon.net I am happy to provide you with a free introductory session to discuss and evaluate your list.
