Today’s Message: Created to Thrive

Share


Today’s Scripture

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
(John 10:10, NIV)

Created to Thrive

So many people today are living in “survival” mode. They have a mentality that says, “If I can just make it through…” or “If I can just get by…” Of course, there are some seasons that are more difficult than others. Sometimes it’s challenging to get a vision for the future. But if you are constantly living with a survival mentality, you are missing out on God’s best. Scripture doesn’t say, “Jesus came so you could survive.” No, it says that He came to give you a full, abundant life! If you are living in survival mode right now, I believe that today can be your turning point. If you’ll take a step of faith and begin to declare, “My days of survival are over; my days of thriving have begun,” then I believe God will meet your faith. I believe He will open an unexpected door. He’ll pour out His favor and blessing on you. He’ll make a way where there seems to be no way! Even if you’re in a tough time right now, remember tough times don’t last, but the Word of the Lord stands forever. Begin to declare what God says about your circumstances because you are created for more than to just get by—you are created to thrive!

A Prayer for Today

“Father God, thank You for giving me abundant life through Jesus Christ. I believe that You have a good plan for my future. I declare that my days of thriving have begun as I continue to put my faith and trust in You alone in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

  1. Brain-washed Zambians…its because of above messages that country has remained in poverty .
    Work ,work and work is all you need.
    God neither gives nor takes away! He has already given you brains…enough.

    • @Chiko, one can argue that you have also been brain washed by atheists. So your argument is relative. Also note that the opinion you have about God is your own interpretation of religion, so keep your opinions to yourself and let others also interpret God in their own way.

    • Spot on…Zambians would rather kneel and pray for bumper harvest without plant seed and weeding..praying is much easier!!

  2. @Analyst ,smart argument…thumbs up! However, note that current and prolonged interpretation by manority you and them has yield nothing….. apart from laziness, anticipating a “Good life ” out there. Be in the knowing that life is now…your imaginary life after death has no assurance, except theories!
    Lets work hard fellow Zambians.

  3. Just wanted to know if DINOSAURS and HUMANS coexisted? How would the two species fit in the evolutionary time scale? And were there any DINOSAURS on Noah’s Arc?

    • Stories in the bible are simply that stories..that’s why you will never see any dates or times in the bible…stories to dupe the gullible.

  4. .. And when did GOD decide to show his/her existence? Perhaps humans found a way to invent this entity called GOD.
