THREE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN LIFE
MESSAGE BY: Apostle Joshua Selman
God gave us 24hrs, the unit of destiny is time. i.e your entire lifetime is measured by time. Not everything in your life produces thesame effect as far as your destiny is concerned. God gave us 24hrs filled with several activities that can move us towards destiny but not all of them can move us at the same time.
Equal time and a cooperative time should not be allocated to anything and everything, your time of play shouldn't be equal to your time of prayer because at the end of your life only few things will make your life count. Little things are worth living for on earth, when you don't know what is important you will major on the minor and minor on the major.
. The first most important thing is Your relationship with God
What is the purpose of God in your life?
why should bill gate need God?
why should the leader of a terrorist group need God?
why should a first class students need God?
why should a dying man need God?
many of us think that we need God because of what he is able to do for us and that he's able to provide our needs and all of that, the reason why Africa is so much concerned about religion is because of the state of poverty. You would see that when men travel out of the country and life becomes comfortable for them and they see policies that support their well-being usually they won't need God again.
So what's the purpose of God in your life: Purpose gives value to everything in your life.
Three reason why you need God
I. God is important in your life because, it is your relationship with God that secures your eternal destiny, without a relationship with God there is no guarantee for your eternal destiny.
John 3:15-17 - St. John 3:15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
St. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.
St. John 3:17 “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
No matter what you lose in life, if your relationship with God is still intact you are still a winner and no matter what you gain in life if you lose God in the process you really lost. if the only reason why I introduced you to God is because of tea and bread then you are in trouble
ii. God is important in your life because of your exploit in life, it is true that you can succeed in life without God but there will be a vacuum in your success that will make it clear that it is not God that brought you there
2nd Sam 22:30 - 2 Samuel 22:29 Indeed, you are my lamp, O Lord,
the Lord lightens my darkness.
III. Only God can give you true peace and fulfillment: The highest index for measuring wealth and relevance is peace. The highest measure of wealth and freedom is peace Rom 5:1, John 14:27
When the peace of God is far from your life you are dying 2nd these 3:16
Worry is a thief of peace, when there is no peace in your life God's voice is not always there. worry short change the power of God in your life.
Beware of prolonged depression. When the peace of God does not find Expression in your life you are dying already God is interested in you having peace. If poverty or lack is hindering the Peace of God in your life, God will use everything he has to fight poverty not because he is interested in money but because he wants you to have peace
your relationship with God is Worth dying for and fighting for
The second most important thing is FAMILY
Family is important in God's sight and it is the most important unit in a society
Two reasons why family is important
i. Your greatest support and motivation will come from family
ii. Your family will be the last place you can fall back on when all things fail. The most important key to sustainable relationships and marriage is knowledge, you can lose money and position and get it back, but if you lose family you lose a lot
The 3rd most important thing is your ASSIGNMENT
Your assignment answers the question why
Heb 10:7:Then I said, ‘See, God, I have come to do your will, O God’
(in the scroll of the book it is written of me).”
Your greatest fulfillment will come from knowing that you have lived your life serving the purposes of God and blessing humanity, it won't come from cars or resources aquired, you can choose impact over popularity, popularity is many people knowing about you but impact is that men are changed because you are alive
It is important to find your purpose before marriage and before looking for money. You know your impact by the virtue you create, when you are not there if nobody misses your absence, then your presence is not a blessing.
Purpose gives meaning and value to everything you do. Marriage money children and prosperity has a purpose. The problem we have is that most of our desires are not tied to purpose Acts 26:7
find the role in the kingdom assignment, you don't need a platform before you make impact, ask him why he brought you into this world, be disciplined about your life be purposeful don't waste your time. Life is time tagged, build capacity whatever you have decided to be, work hard build yourself on it that's what makes you visionary. Develop yourself in character, forbearance, knowledge and never be ashamed of growth work on anger impatience, get books, search for videos on YouTube train yourself to be exceptional and pray your life into change.
purpose is not looking for money purpose is finding that which can bring impact to the lives of men, although it might later bring money
Prayers
1. Lord reveal to me my assignment in this season

4. Lord make me a person of character exceptional, I obtain Grace to be exceptional

5. Lord bring a man and woman in my life that fears you marriage will not bring me down
6. Like fire from heaven let the blueprints of My destiny be opened to me
7. Lorde I and my love ones give us peace, every fear and disturbance in my life receives peace
8. I receive peace over finances over my marriage and over my life.
