Your approach towards yourself
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. (Matthew 10:39)
Our main verse is a statement made by our Lord Jesus, Himself. Thus, it’s something one must think about deeply while considering their own life. In Christ, you are God’s own purchased special class of person. You don’t belong to yourself or to this world.
While you live in this world, this is your only chance to do and be what God has called you for. Your approach towards your life matters to God. You must know that you belong to Him. You need to keep a check on your direction in life. Is it the direction in which God’s purpose is taking you or is it the direction where the elements of this world are pulling you. You cannot be careless about yourself.
What are the things happening in your life, who are the people you are engaging with, how is your body functioning; all these factors are important and you must take care that each and every element of your life is in line with God’s Word. If anything goes out of line, don’t neglect it but instead set it right through the principles of faith. For example you must not allow thoughts of fear and destruction in your mind. If the devil tries to push such thoughts in your mind, rebuke them and meditate on the Word and wash your mind off such thoughts. Same should be your approach towards your body, towards your family and everything that concerns you. Don’t wait to set things right and know that you belong to God. Your life is not so cheap, that anything can be allowed to happen in it and with it. No wonder Bible says in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20: “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
Never indulge in the things of this world because corruption of this world has nothing to do with a Child of God (ref. Galatians 6:8-9). You are from above, set your mind on things above (ref. Colossians 3:2).
Confession:
I’m heavenly therefore I set my mind on the heavenly. I’m God’s own purchased special person. I’m in this world but not of this world. I have a higher life in Christ Jesus. I’m focused on my God given purpose. I’m set on a course and I follow it without any distractions or delays! Hallelujah
