God's Way Over Your Life: A Life of True Fulfillment

*_God's Way Over Your Way: A Life of True Fulfillment_*


In the excitement of youth, it’s easy to get caught up in the moment—following trends, pursuing your own desires, and enjoying life without thinking too much about the consequences. But don’t let the thrill of being young cause you to forget about your Creator. God has given each of us a purpose, and He desires to be at the center of our lives, no matter our age. *"Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, before the difficult days come"* (Ecclesiastes 12:1). 


Some people, especially in their younger years, think they can substitute their own rules for the ones God has given. They assume that living by their own standards will be easier or that God won’t notice their choices. But living apart from God's way always leads to frustration, emptiness, and regret. *"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death"* (Proverbs 14:12). 


The truth is, God’s commands are not burdensome, but a path to true joy and fulfillment. *"For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome"* (1 John 5:3). When we make our own desires and priorities greater than God’s, we set ourselves up for hardship and distance from Him. But when we keep God first, everything else falls into place.


So, as you live your life—whether in youth or later years—keep your values and priorities aligned with God’s Word. Don’t let the world, or even your youthful enthusiasm, distract you from the most important relationship you will ever have. *"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you"* (Matthew 6:33).


Life lived in God's way is life lived to its fullest. Keep God in first place, and you will find that His plans are far greater and more fulfilling than anything you could imagine on your own.

  I Will Build My Church – Matthew 16:13-19   We are living at a very crucial time when it appears the devil has taken over the stage. All over the world, news of crises and criminal activities pervade the whole atmosphere. For those who have the spiritual insight and understanding of time, the whole arsenal of the devil is directed at the church moreso, when the coming of the Lord is nearer than before. Nevertheless, the plan and purpose of God cannot but come to pass. The Lord’s words cannot go out without being fulfilled that “…I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. Amen.   The church, that is, the Body of Christ, does not belong to anybody hence; Jesus said “…I will build my church…” No man or woman who has by His grace become, a building block and precious stone in the Body of Christ, can lay claim to the church. We have become a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that we should show...
