Abundant Life From Jesus

As children of God, God expects us to be joyful as the Spirit of God is the Spirit of joy/ freedom/comfort/peace. Most people live a stressed life but we must know that “stress is not from God”. 

In Matthew 11. 28 Jesus says: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”

We experience stress in different areas of our life but stress can lead to sickness and create mental and relationship issues.

There is another area where we need to correct ourselves and that is with regards to our will power. On one hand, it is our will power that leads us to God’s will but on the other hand, our will power cannot sustain us. But it is not by will power, but by the grace of God that we exist/ saved/ maintained/ sustained. 

Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15.10; “ But by the grace of God I am what I am and His grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them —yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.”.

This is the attitude we must have. It is when we trust God, that He works through us. Jesus also said that it was not Him but the Father working in Him and through Him.

When we limit God who is limitless through our dominant thoughts and will power, we block God. We must let go of our human limitations to receive God’s divine limitless blessings. 

We must take responsibility for our own life instead of blaming others. We might go through sufferings due to abuse of others but we don’t have to be victimized because of that. We learn from the story of Mephibosheth, that though he was crippled as a nurse dropped him, he did not remain like that. He was raised and brought to the table of King David because of a covenant that had happened between his father Jonathan and King David. 

There is a life God intends for us which is written in John 10.10; The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

God desires that we have abundant life. Jesus came to give us abundant “Zoe” life. This new life came into us when we were born and it is a life that overflows to others. But humans have a tendency to ignore this new abundant life in the Holy Spirit and slowly move to a life where we depend on our own strength to serve God. We end up being a failure when we depend on our will power. Jesus teaches us to live a life not based on our strength but depending on the Holy Spirit to spiritually equip and help us.

The will of man can prevent the life of God. It is possible for a born again child of God to live like anyone else. It is a thin line between the two.

There are certain things that a human does naturally without any effort or strain like speaking his/ her own mother tongue, heart beating on its own etc. This is life flowing on its own. What we do with an extra effort is not natural. In the same way, for a child of God, to read the Bible, pray etc comes naturally with the power of the Holy Spirit. But if we try with our own will power, we will fail. Our focus must be not to do spiritual things with our will power; instead depend on the Holy Spirit to do it naturally through us.
