A message by one of Word of Faith’s ministers, DeJuan Owens.
Often times we travel through life seeking out our own agendas. As Christians we should seek to be used by the Master. In order to be used we have to position ourselves in line with His word, His plans, His will and accept the responsibility that comes along with freedom.

God wants all of us to be happy, but not apart from Him. The Bible instructs us to delight ourselves in Him. Happiness and true joy are not separate from God. There is an old saying that tells us, “The chief end of man is to glorify God AND enjoy Him forever.” The emphasis is on the “AND”. These two things are not and should not be estranged from one another. We are supposed to seek and pursue happiness but only in God. It is not bad to desire our own good. In fact, the great problem of people everywhere today is that we are to easily pleased. The only way to triumph over sin long-term, is to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.

Sometimes in life, we compare our lives to others and lose focus and frustrate ourselves. The devil would love for us to get off track and focused on things that do not matter in this life. We sometimes allow small and meaningless things to throw us off course and create an internal struggle. Yes, we will face adversity and trying times in life but when things come to test our beliefs we need to get refocused on what God wants.

The Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the church in Thessalonica after receiving a good report from Timothy, a young man in the faith, about the church. Paul had previously visited and established this church and was concerned for them because it was still an infant church. When Timothy came and reported of the good news about how well the believers were doing, this was a great encouragement to Paul that his work was not in vain. This church is a “model church” for us to draw encouragement from.

The second half of 1 Peter, the Apostle encourages believers that were scattered through Pontus, Galatia, Capadocia, Asia and Bithynia to endure suffering for doing good works. He tells us that we are to arm ourselves with the same attitude that Christ had when He suffered in his body for the good news sake. Peter tells us that suffering is inevitable, so you might as well suffer for Christ which has purpose and incorruptible reward.

Sometimes in life we put people and objects in front of our fellowship with God. Jesus addresses these issues plain and simple. In Matthew’s gospel Jesus tells us plainly when we are not worthy of Him.

There are doctrinal and theological issues the bible instructs us in, but there is also the practical side of us doing the work. The knowledge we receive from God’s word has to be more than a library of resources we stock up on the inside. There has to be application.

Everyday we are faced with choices. From the moment we wake up to time we fall asleep. Do I wear this? Do I pray? How long should I pray? What do I do about my marriage? Do I sleep in or do I go to church? Ultimately our life is the summation of our everyday choices, whether small or great. With our choices come consequence or reward.
