WE NEED A BLESSED LIFE, NOT MIRACLES

Sir,

Most of us would rather have miracles every day than live a principled lifestyle that produces a blessed and successful life. Before a miracle can be actuated there must be a need or crisis. Therefore to perpetually need a miracle could mean to be continually in crisis. Miracles are not God’s best for us because they are temporary in nature.

When we are in financial problems, we might need a financial miracle to effect change in our finances, yet it is just a temporary relief.
I believe God’s best for us comes when we learn how to live by the principles or laws that govern spheres of life. If we learn to cooperate with the spiritual and natural laws that govern all the spheres of our human existence, we won’t need miracles every now and then, but we will live a blessed life.

Blessed

In order for us to live a blessed and successful life at any level; family, community or national, we need to embrace first and foremost the laws of wisdom, understanding and knowledge. God put laws in the universe. The law of planning and preparation will always determine what we shall finally become. If we fail to embrace the law of planning, we will definitely reap chaos in our future. Most people are lazy to think, they would prefer that someone does the thinking for them. The law of the intellect governs our ability to think, reason, understand ideas and learn. We must use our minds to study and think. It is wrong to think you can succeed in any area of life without studying. Ignorance is a destroyer. Many people’s problems can be traced back to ignorance.

Advantage

Ignorance simply means we cannot take advantage of what we are not aware of. Information is power and light. Lack of knowledge is darkness and blindness. When we are not well-informed in life, we miss out on great opportunities of becoming successful and significant in society. It is actually very expensive to live a life of ignorance. Information empowers. We go to school, seminars, conferences, summits etc to get information in order to function properly in life. Knowledge is a gateway to progress in life. We must not just seek miraculous interventions, but we must also seek to know the principles and laws that govern a healthy family, healthy body and healthy financial life. The law of management speaks to our ability to manage our relationships, time, gifts and talents. What we fail to manage, we cannot increase and we may finally lose it.

Process

One of the most neglected laws in our time is the law of the process of becoming. Life takes us through many different processes in order for us to arrive at that place of greatness and significance. Discipline empowers us to be committed to fulfilling purpose and vision. The law of work demands that we must embrace a disciplined work mentality. Farlex’s Dictionary defines work as the ‘exertion of strength or faculties; physical or intellectual effort directed to an end’. Speaking of Hezekiah, the Bible, in 2 Chronicles, says; “In every work that he began… he did it with all his heart, and prospered.” Hard work will always produce good results. Let us put away laziness and get diligent in our work.
