LIVING WITH A HIGHER AIM

Post date: Apr 29, 2015 3:52:38 AM

Not even the numerous troubles, frustrations from men, delays, denials, the withholding of your rights and the works of the evil powers of darkness against your life has the power to place any form of limitation over you. You were made in God’s glorious image and likeness and not in the image and likeness of anything else in heaven or on earth. Through grace you must reflect that image and likeness in everything and in everywhere. Long before you were conceived in your mother’s womb and brought into life, and long before you came to experience this present day challenges in life, in your marriage, in your profession, in your finances, in your marriage, and in your family, God in His absolute knowledge knew them all before and knew you before they came to you. Before He made you and allow you to pass through what you are experiencing today, He had designed your victory and by His design, you will overcome all of them.

As you live and as you pass through all these things, nothing will ever limit you more than what you do with your daily experiences; nothing will ever limit you more than what you think about yourself because of your troubles; and nothing is designed to keep you back except you decide to stay back through your thoughts and actions, giving up your dreams, your aims, your godly desires and your godly promises. Remember that the devil will never challenge those without an aim in living the life they were created to live; he will never challenge those without a definitely divine dream and visions given by God, he will not challenge those without a desire to pursue their dreams in life in a truthful way. If you aim at your dreams and focused on the source of those dreams, then God will definitely give you the grace to overcome the challenges and to live the dreams He had freely given to you. 

Despite your fears of what will come out of your daily struggles; what will come out of your family misfortune, financial and marital confusions; what will come out of your actions in navigating through the frustrations in life and business; despite the evil confrontations seeking to limit your dream and take control of your future; and despite the seeming increase in evil and violence of men around the world, God still wants you to have a  life with an aim; He wants you to always live with a higher expectation, with higher certainty of His presence, with higher hope in Him, and with a higher assurance in the promise that He will not leave you, will not forsake you, and will never abandon you to any of your mistakes, your fears, your confusions and frustrations. 

God created you deliberately for something higher; for something quite unique and had divinely enabled you to perform exceptional things that will glorify His name on earth. You were made in His image to attain to higher and better things on earth, and you can do them. No one is called to act Christianity but to live as Christ Jesus did; “You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.” Philippians 2:5-15. God will enable you to be fulfilled; keep the aim high.
