How has life been to you? Would you recommend your type of life to someone else? Life really can be full of excitement if you have the right foundation. This article tells you why life in Jesus Christ enables you to enjoy lifeBut these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name - John 20:31
(KJV) (Emphasis mine)Life without Christ is a life with crisis. Life is more than possession of wealth, position or power. Some people who have these and more are still miserable. Some of them even commit suicide. Yet in this life, there are some people who actually enjoy life. What is their secret? It is a life in Jesus Christ.Having Jesus Christ as your Lord and saviour is the greatest asset one can have in life. It is the right foundation to build on. It is possession of Jesus as your Lord, then other goodies that make life enjoying.What to enjoy in Christ?1. Life of peaceAbsolute peace can only be found in Jesus Christ. It is only when you have Jesus that you can be passing through challenges and still have peace. Presently the world is in chaos but believers are in peace. Their faith is in Jesus who takes care of them in every situation and has NEVER failed them.2. JoyLife in Jesus Christ is one full of joy that is not dependent on circumstances but on God's love and supremacy. That is, life bubbling with joy, come rain, come sunshine. To enjoy life is to be rejoicing all the time. This, you can achieve when you are in Christ.3. RighteousnessSome people desire to live a life without sin but this goal has been far-fetched for them. They make New Year resolutions and fall short of them after a while. Jesus Christ gives you the power to overcome sin. It is practically impossible to live a righteous life without Christ.4. SecurityThere is no complex in a life in Christ. A believer is secured in Christ. He knows who he is as a child of God. There is also no fear in a life in Jesus Christ. Insecurity causes people to do all manner of things that will make them not to enjoy life.5. ContentmentGodliness with contentment is great gain. Greed is insatiable. It deprives people the ability to really enjoy life. These people spend their time, energy, money, etc trying to satisfy their greed, only to increase it the more. But in Christ you are content with every level per time and you will enjoy every step of the way.Life is exciting when Jesus is your Lord and saviour. Believe In Him and have life through His name.About the Author:Ngozi Nwoke is a teacher and a counselor.

Fretting makes you become peevish, irritable and impatient; God does not want you to live that way. He wants you to live the abundant spiritual life that Jesus died on the cross to give you. You must not let the precious price that Jesus paid for you to go to waste! The Word of God tells us in Psalm 37:1-4
, "Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong; for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
Recently, I was sitting in my corner "office table" at my favorite Panera Bread. I almost made a spectacle of myself as the tears began streaming down my face. In just a moment's time, I was overcome with a sense of feeling weary. So, I grabbed my Bible and started searching for something to calm my mind and heart. I stumbled on Matthew 11:28
: Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.I've heard and read that verse hundreds of times, but I decided to dig a little deeper into that precious verse and see if there was anything more to it than the obvious. And guess what? There was!
God is Love and He loves you unconditionally. You do not have to do anything to earn His amazing love and He sees you as His beloved. In a display of unparalleled love, Jesus left His Father in Heaven and came to earth. He gave His life as an offering to God on the cross for all mankind.Jesus loves you so much more than anyone else possibly could and He is truly amazing. Just to think that He loves you is so wonderful. God's love for us is as expansive as the open arms of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. Sometimes, when we face challenges in life, we are tempted to think that God has forgotten us. We may even believe that He no longer loves us.
When you surrender yourself to God's control, you relinquish or give up any power and yield yourself totally to the Almighty God. You also allow your desires and attitudes to be challenged, and over-ruled by God. Total surrendering is saying, "Yes Lord" to whatever He asks you to do.Surrendered people obey God, even when it does not make sense to them and other people around them. You will get fantastic results when you decide to surrender totally to God, for His glory. When you let go and let God, you know you are totally yielded to God.

In the secular world, a battle is described as a fight between two opposing individuals, a contest or a struggle towards a goal. But a spiritual battle is waged by satan, the enemy of our soul and the accuser of the brethren, against the people of God. Whatever battle you are facing, when you focus on the enemy, you stumble, but when you focus on God, the enemy stumbles. We are not unaware of satan's devices, but he is a defeated foe and he can never win, because our God has got the ultimate power.

I am blessed because I confidently place my trust in Him. Jeremiah 17:7
says, "But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him".I've talked about trusting Jesus a little bit before, but I want to explore the topic of trust some more. I want to show you through some of the experiences I have had with Jesus that He is always there, right here, right now. In one of my earlier articles I've said that it may be hard for some to trust anyone, especially someone you can't see or, possibly, even hear. But trust is something that has to be developed. You can't just walk up to someone you don't know and say that you immediately trust them.
Help is described as a way of making things better or easier for us and also to aid or assist us in everything we do. The bible tells us in Psalm 46:1
, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." HE is a tested Helper in every situation we may find ourselves.We do not need to fear because God is always near us and will help us whenever we need help. He cares for us in every situation and He is a safe place to hide, ready to help when we need Him. Prayer puts us in touch with God and we just have to ask Him to help us during our journey of life. He is always waiting to hear from us.God's Word tells us in Psalm 60:11
, "Give us aid against the enemy, for the help of man is worthless." If you bank on man to help you, you will be greatly disappointed as man's help is useless and it is vanity upon vanity. Man has no power or means to help you; your help only comes from the Lord.
Believe in God. He listen You. He loves you. He is One, Only One , He in Whole Universe. He listen our Prayer. Only If we believe and love Him. If we love His Creation. If we know. Our prayer should not hurt any body. He loves everybody, no mater your race, where you live, no mater your color, your age, your qualification, but your belief. But Your belief doesn't cause a thing to be true.Believe you can develop to be equal with God does not allow in your development. Likewise believing alone will not change a situation because "faith without works is dead. The creativity of God is limitless, so is the conscience of all the needs, wishes and beliefs of all. He already knows what you need before you ask him for it.
To reach any goal in life requires consistency and work. God has different work for different people, some are sent to do some things, others are sent to work in other areas. The Bible teaches us different ways to work in the Kingdom of God.God calls to work with HimHaggai 2:4 "Yet now be strong, Zerubbabel; says the Lord; and be strong, Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land; says the Lord, and work; for I am with you, says the Lord of Hosts." To work for Jesus requires sacrifice, and the Bible encourages us to keep going forward.God calls for immediate workMatthew 21:28 "But what do you think? A man had two sons, and He came to his first and said, Son, go work today in my vineyard." Sometimes, the tasks that we have to do require time, but sometimes we need to do it right now. These are the words in this verse.
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Genesis 50:20
People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 1 Timothy 6:9
Little trials without God will break you, big trials with God will make you great. May you always find strength in God's love and faithfulness.
Grace is God’s undeserved and unearned favor, kindness and love towards us. Motivated by love, the Father sent Jesus Christ to die for the sins of humanity. In Christ, you are a new creation.
Morning is a sign of GOD's great love for us. Let us be thankful that we are given a new day to share this love with special people in our hearts.
God wants us to enjoy life not to endure life. Look at the Cross it's a positive sign God wants us to live positive and happy life and the good news is.... look at the cross again, it's a plus sign, God always want to add blessings in your life :) happy blessed day :)
Carry this in your heart! "GOD IS ABLE TO DO SO MUCH MORE THAN I CAN EVEN IMAGINE!" . . . Ephesians 3:20
says, “God can do anything, you know – far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, His Spirit deeply and gently within us” (MSG).
May you understand that with obedience comes prosperity. He send blessings upon your work and on every task you put your hand to.
