Hello Readers & Followers,
It's a new week! Happy New Week! I hope you had a lovely weekend. I remembered a sermon that my husband (Pastor Adebola) preached where he made reference to the importance of staying connected to the Word of God. I love how he explained that when a flower is connected to its root, the flower will blossom. However, if the flower is no longer connected to its root, steadily and gradually, the flower will wither. I was challenged by the sermon.
As a reader of my faith blog, I would like to challenge you to build your life on the Word of God. Jesus said in Matthew 7:24 that anyone who LISTENS to His WORDS and PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
1) A life built on Scripture shapes your character to become more like Christ.
3) A life built on Scripture helps you to forgive easily and not to be easily angered.
4) A life built on Scripture increases your wisdom and helps you to live a life that is the opposite of this world.
5) A life built on Scripture does not envy or become jealous of others.
6) A life built on Scripture does not focus on petty things.
7) A life built on Scripture is not ignorant of the strategies of the evil one.
8) A life built on Scripture grants you joy and peace, not as the world gives.
9) A life built on Scripture lasts for eternity.
Take a pause and reflect on who you are, and your everyday choices. Are you building your life on the Word of God? Ask the Holy Spirit to help you to build your life on the Word of God when it is convenient and not convenient.
I love hearing from you in the comment section. Please take a minute to say ‘hello’ by leaving a comment.
This is great topic! It makes me think about John 15:5. It is so important that we as believers stay connected to the Life Source, Jesus. I love that you listed the benefits of living a life built on scripture. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow Larissa! John 15:5 is the Scripture that our church is founded on (see our website: www.tmadministries.org.uk). I have noticed that almost everything that I write about or my husband writes on, everything goes back to John 15:5. Thank you for stopping by. Indeed! We must stay connected to the Life Source, Jesus.
