This is a rejoinder to the article posted by From zero to hero and below is the link to the article : https://www.nairaland.com/3637484/5-steps-christians-fulfil-gods There's a lot of erroneous fact. if the Author has stated 5 Steps people should take to fulfill their purpose I'll have hold my peace but the Author dabbled into the Bible without backing it up with up with God's words. So I will. Step 1: You can't be be a follower of Christ and decide what's worthy of your pursuit. Luke 9:23 Then Jesus said to them all "if anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me You can't be a true Christian without denying yourself what you desire, the sin you love swimming in, and the devil. Step 2: Then Jesus said in Matt 6:33 Seek ye first first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. And all these things shall be added to you Your first commandment is to seek his kingdom, he demands obedient from you. When God created Adam, the first instruction he gave to them in Gen 2: 16 - 17 which says And then commanded man saying "of every tree of the garden, you may freely eat but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in that day you shall eat you will surely die. God first commandment to man was obedience. What God demand from man is obedience. You purpose in life is to follow his leading for your life. Anything out of his purpose is waste of time. Matt 4:4 says But Jesus answered and said, it is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God Step 3: Habakkuk 2:2 says And the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain upon tablets, that he may run that readeth it. Any vision that's not inspired by God is a waste of time. You vision, your dream, your desire must be within his will. Psalm 25:14 says The secret of the Lord is with those that feared him You can't seek God first and he won't revealed the secret of world to you. Daniel 2:29b says He who reveals secret has made known to us what will be Step 4: The big vision will come from a series of small decisions. The big vision will only come when you decide to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness Luke 9: 24-25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it but whoever loses his for my sake will save it. For what profit is it to man if he gains the whole world and is himself destroyed or lost The big vision that every Christians should never lose sight of is eternal life. Everything will do in life should be and an answer to God's commandment. Will I make heaven with what I'm doing right now? Should be the questions every Christians should ask themselves everyday. If Jesus comes today, will I make heaven? Step 5: John 14:6 says Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me Which still comes to the first commandment Jesus commandment us ' Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness' not your what you desire, not what you want but his commandment. In conclusion Matt 19:29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life You can't serve God unconditionally and lose in life or in the world after. |
