“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.” John 10:10 King James Version
Christ came to give us abundant life.
I’m not referring to spiritual abundance only but in all aspects. Christ’s life was characterized by balance.
“And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” Luke 2:52
The question is: Why are many people not living the abundant life?
Is it because they don’t know how to?
Is it because they don’t want to?
No! It is because they don’t do what they know!
Living the abundant life entails several steps.
Step 1 is to know man’s composition.
Man is tri-partite being.
Body, Soul and Spirit.
In order for you to be able to be truly abundant, each part should be abundant.
Body – material abundance
Soul – personal growth
Spirit – spiritual growth
Let’s take it backwards.
“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?” Mark 8:36 KJV
That simply means it is useless to be wealthy materially but spiritually dead.
Are you spiritually alive? (link to follow)
Now that you are spiritually alive we can proceed with the next one – Personal Growth.
How are you as a person? Do you know yourself? Do you have friends you trust? Are you respected by people?
Thirdly - Material abundance.
Do you have the freedom to do what you really want to do in life?
I will answer these questions in my succeeding blogs.
