Hello Everyone,
Ok - Ok so I am finally going to wrap up this series this week.
“Having Your Cake and Eating it Too” or “Secrets for Abundant Living”
Remember that this whole series is based on 3 very important principles.
1. God has a plan for your life - Jeremiah 29:11 says “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”.
2. There is a battle engaged for your life - Jesus said in John 10:10 “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
3. Too many of God’s people are losing the battle - Marriages, children, finances, life. Matthew 9:36 - “When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.”
This week I want to wrap up this series with one last simple ingredient to you from scripture.
Leave Leftovers - What I have found is that living an abundant life is not so much about what we have today as it is about what we leave for tomorrow. Live a Legacy
In the end I never hear people boasting about how much money they had in life, how big a house they lived in, or what a nice car they were driving.
What I hear them talk about is the legacy they are leaving behind - in children, friends, accomplishments, and lasting value that was added to the world around them.
I think we get our wires crossed today and only the view of impending death begins to right our priorities.
If you want to live in abundance - the kind of abundance that Christ offers – there are some last key ingredients that I want to share this week.
See you tomorrow,
Greater Things Are Still To Come!
Pastor Phil
