Life Redefined.

Life Redefined.
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Luke 12.15
And He said to them, Take heed and beware of covetousness for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. 

Jesus said, Life is not defined, measured or secured by the things you have or own, whether you have little or much. The world seeks value and security in things. No wonder they keep running after it all the day long. They believe - the more things they have, the more valuable and secure they are. Jesus redined life. Hallelujah.

The word says, What will it profit you if you gain the whole world and yet forfeit your soul? Our value and security is not based on possessions - how much or how less we have. Notice that is not to say that we are not to have things. We are the seed of Abraham. We are supposed to prosperous in every area of our life. Jesus said seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things will he added to you. So you see God is not against us having things and being prosperous. This is your value - God gave up His Son for you and Jesus loves you. Our life is not defined, derived,  measured or secured by clothes, houses, vehicles or the things we have. Our value is not derived from physical things. Life, is knowing who we are in the sight of God and doing everything he wants us to do. This gives life meaning, value and security.

You are His masterpiece created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which he prepared beforehand so you would walk in them. As you grow in the knowledge of His love and in the knowledge of who you are in Christ and as you totally committ yourself in fulfilling your God given assignment, you will find fulfilment, satisfaction, security and life. Jesus said, he who saves his life will lose it but he who loses his life for my sake and the gospel will find it. Live a higher life. Shalom.

“I am valuable because Jesus loves me and He gave up His life for me. This is my worth. Hallelujah. My value or security is not based how much or how less clothes, money or property I have. Jesus is my life and therefore I am valuable, secure and successful. I live the higher life.”
