Life is Short but you can Conquer

 By Omoruyi Uwuigiaren

Life is short. As you enjoy the beautiful earth, be careful because the waster, the devil, he walks to and fro seeking whom to devour. 1Peter 5:8, “Be sober-minded and be watchful. Your adversary the devil walks to and fro like a lion, seeking whom to devour.” The devil does not need your approval or permission to strike or put you under pressure. Do not be the worst enemy of your own life. Live a decent life and embrace holiness without which no human shall see God. Hebrews 12:14, “Strive for peace with everyone and for holiness without which no man shall see God.”

You may wonder how it is possible to be the worst enemy of yourself. Anyone that fails to acknowledge God and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and savior is on the highway to hell. A man who is the worst enemy of himself is like the poor soul that dug a hole and finally falls into it. As a man thinks, so he is. Be free from habits that will ruin your future. There must be a striking resemblance between your lifestyle and that of Jesus Christ. That is when you will be a Christian. “…and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. For a whole year, they met with the church and taught a great many people. And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians,” Acts 11:26.

You can conquer sin. You will become as pure as gold if you embrace Jesus. Do not despise God’s gracious act of mercy. Forgiveness is on the agenda because God loves you. John 3:16, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.” There is room for you in God. You can fight for survival because it is within your rights to choose the kind of life you want to live. I will suggest you choose a good life in Christ Jesus. Sin will drag you away from the right path. “For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord,” Romans 6:23.

You cannot win against God. The bible says all things are yours. You can rule and possess the earth as a child of God. Let no one deceive you. Being born again is not a death sentence. It does not mean you have signed a pact with poverty. It only means you have decided to embrace the supernatural and rule in the affair of men. God is ever ready to save you! Make yourself available and you be redeemed from the cruel hands of the enemy. Jesus Christ said in Matthew 11: 28, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest.”

You do not have to live contrary to God’s will before you can get the best out of life. Remember, no one goes to the grave with all he acquired here on earth. As humans, you can lead and enjoy a good life. Nothing will stop you from achieving your goal if you have Jesus Christ. You will win because Jesus has paid the price for you! Embrace the truth and be free.

Friend as you take decision to serve God, there are good churches around where you can grow. Join any church near you and have a lovely time in His presence.
