LIFE

So, I got a message from someone to write about life. When I saw the message at first, I was like; OK, what aspect of life do you want me to write about and he said not the different aspects of life but just life as a whole entity. He gave some illustrations as to what he was looking forward to read and sincerely speaking, I did not know the answer to give. He called me days ago and asked for the answer and I decided to write this looking up to the Holy spirit for insight.

Life life life
This is a broad concept to discuss and so I would just write as inspired. There are different angles from which life could be explained but can we really dicepher life?
The person asked me what is meant if one is said to be living or to have lived a good or bad life and I was totally speechless and few minutes later, I read an article by Rick Warren, the writer of "A purpose driven life". He said "life is preparation for eternity" and that keyed me in.
He said, God did not put us on earth just to pass time but to do something that would prepare us for heaven.

Look here, God did not create man just to exist, in the beginning when he created the first man, Adam, he gave him specific instructions:

Genesis 1:28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Now, examining that verse, so many people has limited it to child bearing and working to feed the family, no, it goes beyond that. I was speaking with some friends last year and I talked about making impact, I believe so much that we were not put on earth just to go to school, work, get married, give birth, train the children, reap from the children and then die; I see that as a waste.
That is a waste of destiny and of the gifts given by God.
Examining the verse closely, the first clause is:
God blessed them: This is talking about The father's blessings in terms of talents, gifts and potentials. He has blessed us with different abilities to live a productive life which  is aimed at glorifying Him.

God said unto them: Next, he gave instructions, he did not just deposit those things in you and leave you alone confused. He gave specific instructions and that is why you must be close to him so as to hear the instructions and discover what he has assigned you to do.

Be fruitful:Those things deposited in you are seeds that needs to be buried and watered to grow in order to bear fruits. You are to make impact in life and to bring forth fruits to the glory of the Father.

Multiple: You are to bring increase to others and yourself. You are to multiply in that you would help others to grow just as you have grown or is growing. You must increase on all sides.

Replenish: To replenish is to renew, refill, supply more. Yeah, you are created to do new things, create new things, conceive new ideas, make, transform and bring changes with those things God blessed you with. You are not to bring to waste the blessings and words of God upon your life.

Subdue: You are to control and overcome with the gifts given you. Not controlling to oppress but to oversee as a leader.

Have dominion: Take charge, dominate and rule.
You are not to live ordinarily, do exploits, you are to change lives, transform lives, impact lives.
You are the solution to a problem somewhere in the world, you were not created just to pass time. Make impact.
And to live life truly, is to live in a way as to prepare for eternity.
Accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour
Pray for freedom from sins
Serve Him truthfully: John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Let go of the old man; former sinful life
Be heaven conscious.
