Living a life that counts

Posted on 31 Oct 2019

There are lots of voices out there trying to get your attention. Usually they have themselves in mind, not you necessarily. When you think of your life and how you are living it out; does your life counts? Does it make a difference?

As follower of LORD Jesus Christ, we have a real message.

Fill in the sentence start with ‘My life counts in the following ways ……..’

Psalm 32:8-11

8I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.

9Do not be like the horse or the mule,

which have no understanding

but must be controlled by bit and bridle

or they will not come to you.

10Many are the woes of the wicked,

but the Lord’s unfailing love

surrounds the one who trusts in him.

11Rejoice in the Lord and be glad, you righteous;

sing, all you who are upright in heart!

We have a reason to be rejoicing in the LORD and be glad. LORD is saying I will counsel you with My loving eye on you, when you get in trouble I will give you direction. The Christian life is a fantastic life. We have LORD’s loving kindness surrounding us, keeping us, guiding us.

GOD intends for our lives to make a difference. People around you watching you. You have the privilege of impacting on somebodies life, changing somebodies life. You have the privilege of making somebody’s life for good, if you are wise enough to listen what He says.

LORD Jesus says in Matthew 5:14-15

14“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

This is a command of LORD Jesus Christ. We are reflectors of the living GOD. We reflecting Him accurately or inaccurately by the way we talk, the way we dress, the way we live. We are reflectors of LORD Jesus Christ.

GOD made you the way you are. He made you to reflect Him not by physically how we look like, He wants us to reflect Him about who we are on the inside. Every one of us have the privilege of reflecting life of LORD Jesus Christ to some degree. It is His choice whether it is your choice or not. We are the reflectors of righteous, holy, Almighty GOD. You became a holy child of GOD, the moment GOD saved you. It doesn’t mean that you are sinless and perfect but you are still holy. Your name is written in the Lambs Book of Life, you are one of His children. You cannot escape this awesome opportunity GOD has given you to be somebody.

LORD Jesus left us here to be the light of the world. He said ‘Glorify Heavenly Father in heaven’. You have the awesome privilege of being indwell by GOD in the person of the Holy Spirit. You have the awesome privilege and awesome power of GOD working within you and accomplish through you more than you can ever dream, more than you can ever ask. We are the children of the living GOD, who has a purpose in our life, sense of direction in our life and make a difference with our life.

GOD left a Church who believed in Word of GOD, who filled with Holy Spirit of GOD, he/she may sin, they confess and repent and GOD use them in most awesome way. You are the light of the world. Once you trust LORD Jesus Christ as your Saviour, you are under the divine obligation to be a true follower of LORD Jesus, to be a light. When people meet you they should see something within us that they cannot explain, that somebody is LORD Jesus. We have a responsibility to be the person GOD called us to be. Once you trust LORD Jesus Christ you become a possession of LORD Jesus Christ and He is the One makes you shine. We exist for the purpose of living GOD to express the light of the LORD Jesus Christ in our life. That why we are here. He is always there when we need Him, it is not our life only, it is His life. We don’t give up or quit, we just keep moving, trusting GOD.

There is no such thing as unimportant person. You are important. LORD Jesus died for all of us. He has a right to live His light through us. He wants to shine forth. Let your light so shine.

He says I am going to instruct you, teach you the way you should go, you would shine, you are the light of the world, “You are the salt of the earth” Matthew 5:13.

We are the chosen children of GOD our names written in the Lambs Book of Life. We have the promise of His presence. He promised to be with us and provide our needs. He didn’t promise that we would have an easy time but we have responsibility and that’s to shine, shine, and shine. This is for Him to glorify our Father in heaven.

When they think about you; what they think about?

We are the children of living GOD, we will never die, we may pass from this earth but we will never die. He who is in us will never die. He rose from grave. Ever sin we have committed has been paid for on the cross. All the proof we needed GOD has given us with the resurrection. We are the followers of LORD Jesus Christ, blessed, kept, energized by GOD, own by GOD and He thinks you are important, amen.

If you have never trusted LORD Jesus Christ as your Saviour I would like to invite you to make the most awesome import and eternal decision in your life that’s surrender yourself to LORD Jesus Christ, confess your sins, repent of them, turn away from them and turn your life into the direction it needs to be and that’s towards Him and watch GOD work.
