Topic: Live Intentionally [Tuesday, 14th Mar. 2017]
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14
God intentionally made you His child. God was so intentional about your adoption as His son and daughter that He laid out a plan for it. He was so meticulous about the plan of your adoption that He was so detailed and thorough, leaving no stone unturned. And scriptures say we should imitate our Father as His dear children (Ephesians 5:1).
If God was so intentional in all He did and is still doing, we also must live our lives intentionally, and in this regard, accomplish the purpose for which we are apprehended – adopted as sons and daughters. Anything short of this will lead to a haphazard life, and that is not God’s intention for us. We must know that our lives matters in the grand plan of God for humanity. And we must intentionally know, and walk in the light of the scheme of God’s plans and purpose for us.
We must intentionally focus on the core of God’s purpose for us, intentionally direct our gifts and energy, skills and intellect, wisdom and knowledge, intentionally taking advantage of the platforms God, in His benevolence, have provided for us, to make maximum impact in this world, as His sons and daughters. Be intentional in all you do, making sure that you “press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:14). Live intentionally.
Keep winning daily.
Prayer:
Dear Father, thank You for adopting me as Your child, and making me relevant in Your grand plan for humanity. By the working of Your Spirit in me, I live my life intentionally, channeling all that Your love has given me to fulfill my role in this life as Your child, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
