The most dangerous creature in the whole wide world is not a terrorist who straps an explosive (bomb) unto his chest. (Although, such men are dangerous). The most dangerous creature is that man or woman who has refused to die despite all that life has thrown his/her way! Are you going
through unfavorable situations? Are you tempted to give up? Do not give up! I dare you to stay
alive! The meaning of death is not limited to being nailed down in a
coffin, or being lowered down six feet. Death could mean loss of one's soul...and there are several dead souls all around us
today. At times when there is nothing to challenge the soul, it goes cold. Cold
souls walk through life like zombies. When the spirit is
quenched, there is nothing to live for anymore!
That is why you must keep the fire of your soul aflame irrespective of whatever life throws at you! The center of your life is
your spirit...the essence of your life is what the enemy is after. The enemy
wants to crush you to the point of no return. He wants to steal the energy in
your soul. The writer of proverbs said that the spirit of a man sustains him in
infirmity, but a broken spirit, who can bear? Today, some people are walking corpse because they have lost the energy in their soul. There are people who have
lost their passion to move on and they are ready to frustrate you from chasing your destiny as well. If the desire to make a difference is killed in someone, nothing is left but empty shells. There must be some thirst to succeed so that you can be of
immense help to other people.
At times, disappointments, broken dreams, adversities, etc; can weigh the spirit down. Irrespective of whatever you might have been through, you must stay alive! You have every reason to live! And the reason is because Jesus Christ died and rose again for your redemption. What is redemption? It is the process of buying back someone from doom! The fact
that God killed his only Son for you is enough to stay alive for. Always remember that the hunger to live for an extraordinary life
is what the enemy is after. That is why he is hunting you. This is why you are fighting some battles. The
adversary wants to kill that spirit in you. The enemy wants to quench that vigor and vibrancy. He
wants you to lose that essence that God has placed in your heart. The devil knew
that God has placed eternity in the hearts of men. And he just wants to steal this
treasure at all cost. That is why you must not allow him. The reason why the
enemy wants to break you is simple. He is scared of you. He knew what you carry
in your heart. He is not fighting you because of your skin color or your externalities.
He is fighting against you because he could see the treasure that is hidden
in you by God. All hell would not have broken lose on any man or woman who is carrying nothing. It is what you carry that the enemy is after. This is why he wanted an
access to your heart. And he will attack everything closest to your heart just
to get to that treasure in your heart. So brace up! Get ready! He knew that the treasure is locked up in your heart. And the
only way to reach the treasure is to break your heart. That is why you must guard your hearts with all diligence, for out of your heart flows the issues of life. Always remember that your
best days are ahead of you. They are not behind you. So, stay alive. Keep up hope. The moment you make
up your mind to live, you will find reason to live. You will find favor and hope. You
will find life and peace.
Part of making up your mind to live, is by giving your heart to the greatest Security personnel who is able to protect that treasure for you.You will find breathe to push on with His help. You will find Peace. For this cause (that you
might live) was the son of God crucified, that He might destroy every works of
darkness. Death is a work of darkness. Theft is a work of darkness. This is why you need God. Why because strong will
is not enough. Good intentions are not enough. All personal determinations are short-spanned. And vain is the
help of any man...this is why the Son of God (Jesus Christ) died
so that you might live.
And the life he intended for us to live is abundant life.
This abundant life means the life without end. It is multi-faceted,
multidimensional life. It is an enriched life that cut across every aspect of
human endeavour. In points of fact, this abundant life has provision for your white
collar jobs, as well as your boring, dreadful Monday morning routines!
