No Way!!!

I was in my bathroom yesterday when i realized i had vehemently fought off an allergy. I had bought a product recently and after the second use, I  noticed a very strong allergic reaction. It had started after my first use but I didn't pay attention to it, or I'd rather say I hadn't expected an allergic reaction. So I ignored it.  Having clearly ascertained my body reacted badly to it  after the second use, I had a few options: dump that product for another or stop the allergic reaction!

Yes the other option was to stop the reaction, and yes, it was possible for me to do that.

The fact that I have access to The Total Life means my health is meant to be intact: no sickness, no disease, no allergy. Don't misunderstand me, there would be many opportunities to be sick, diseased, and to suffer allergies; symptoms will try to stick many times as well. You must only learn to say NO WAY. You must learn to pass up opportunities to be knocked down by the symptoms.

So I said NO WAY, not because I couldn't afford a new product. I said so because I chose The Total Life.

I must have mumbled a few words, confessing that Jesus bore my allergies. Truly i can't remember all that I said, but whatever I said, had a clear message: NO WAY. After I spoke God's word concerning my health, I stuck to my faith declaration. Everything vanished. It gave way to the life of God in me. The life that makes The Total Life a reality.

Again, like I said in previous posts, The Total Life is available for everyone who has confessed the lordship of Jesus Christ. Yes, salvation is the only ticket to it.

After salvation, one important thing you must do to enjoy The Total Life: Fight!

Yes, fight, not with fists, but with the word of God.

Find out the provisions of The Total Life from the Bible. Use those scriptures to fight. It is a fight of words. Make bold declarations with those words.The Bible calls it the good fight, so you are sure to win. Stand your ground, don't waver. Apply this to every area of your life; get accustomed to winning. The Total life is a road laden with victories. Keep on winning, every battle is an opportunity to prove God faithful.

I had outstanding opportunities to give up-thoughts scrambled for space in my reasoning faculty; i thought: "What is the big deal? Your body just reacted....Just change the product.... Don't be spooky about this, it is just a product...I'm sure the doctor can explain why." All sorts of interesting thoughts, but I said NO WAY!

I can assure you, there are always enough excuses to explain you out of The Total Life, but you have to learn to say NO WAY.

Make these bold declarations:

I have a right to The Total Life.

I enjoy the Full benefits Christ purchased for me through redemption.

I fight the good fight of faith in every area of my life.

I have victory all the time.

My faith is active and producing results.

The Friday Diary Entry of a Diaper Change

I hadn't changed a diaper in many months. Truly, all was set to ensure i avoided the diaper changing session again. I repented and yes, i did it! and very well too.

Now let's move from the unsolicited diary entry of an eventful Friday to a matter you truly are interested in, The Total Life.

In my last post, i wrote about The Total Life and some of the ways a person can enjoy it. The list of "how" i documented was not in any way exhaustive. Yet, i believe that those things, if practiced, will help an individual have a Total Life indeed.

A Total Life, again, can be described as one that is considered progressive and fruitful in every way: Finances, Career, Family, Ministry, Academics and other Areas of Life.

The Total Life has been made available to everyone who has genuinely confessed Jesus as Lord and Saviour. They must only commit to taking advantage of it.

 

I'd like to expatiate on The Total Life in this post.

Indeed, my diary entry of the diaper- changing session is well connected to The Total Life. Here it is : the singular act of embracing a seemingly minute task like changing of diaper ( which of course is as much my responsibility as my wife's) definitely made my wife happy and she felt she could really count on me to be there for the family in every way, even as regarding a responsibility that i could have shirked easily. One thing that motivated me was my desire to support my wife and family. It all goes back to the desire to have The Total Life.

The Desire for The Total Life will help us see opportunities to make  input into experiencing it. Make a commitment to The Total Life and invest in it on a consistent basis.

Read a new book on marriage. Attend a week long seminar to improve your career. Take your wife out this week. Meditate on scriptures for finances again. Spend some quality time with your family. Commit to taking the trash out!  Put a reminder on your phone about leaving the toilet seat down (make your wife happy).

Look at every area of your life today and improve. Family, Finances, Career, Health, Academics and other areas of your life can indeed be Total.

Make these declarations boldly:

I advance in every area of my life.

God's life is active in me.

I walk in the wisdom of God for effective living.

I produce results consistent with my new creation status.

I walk in the love of God.

I abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

I live my life by the Faith of the Son of God.

My manifestations are not aborted.

The Total Life

The Total Life

“Life is good...Life is beautiful…Life is peaceful…Life is hard…Life is unfair…Life is unpredictable.” This list is endless. Different people, based on their experiences and that of others, have coined different phrases to explain life.

Experiences have a way of making people conclude their version of life is the valid one. This is so especially because of repeated occurrences of an experience and many other stories they hear similar to theirs.

But the most important view of life can only be from the author of life.

Indeed, God, who is the author of life, clearly shows that life can be Total and His greatest desire is that everyone experiences His version of life.

Everyone can have a total life!

This is not some catchy phrase with tacky details, neither is it too good to be true. But rather it captures how God expects life to be and that is how you should desire it to be.

Some people don't have struggles with whether God wants it for them, the struggle is as to whether it's too tall a dream for them to attain or gun for.

God's reality is still absolutely unshakeable despite the odds revealed by many cases around us where people fall short of a Total Life.

Everything God created until man, he adjudged good; but after he created man, he upgraded his assessment to Very Good.

In one place, God said he wired us with the capacity to produce good works and live a good life.

In another place God said his ideas, thoughts and plans for you include completeness, soundness, welfare, prosperity, health, peace, tranquility and wholeness.

In yet another place God said each life has been planned to be super-abundant in quantity and superior in quality.

The word of God more than convinces us that His plan for us is to live a Total Life.

He wants us to have a complete, whole or, simply put, a Total Life where nothing is missing, lacking, broken, stolen, delayed, denied, withheld; where nothing is uncontrolled, complicated, twisted or distorted.

And Yes, you should have better than a happy ending, the Total life is yours for the taking!

The most profound truth is that God has already done everything needed for you to have a Total Life.

To take full advantage, you need to:

1.     Have a relationship with the Author of The Total Life and that by accepting Jesus as your lord and savior.

2.     Desire a Total life. You've got to want it.

3.     Search out the Author's manual, (The Holy Bible) where you’ll find what God says about every area of your life (family, career, health, finances, etc.)

4.     Make continuous confession about all that God has said about the different areas of your life. As you do this, you will start building an image of a Total life.

5.     Walk with the Holy Spirit as he leads and instructs you per time.

The Images you develop from God's word for different areas of your life form the blue print of a Total Life. As you continue walking with God, the blue print will eventually become a reality.


Make this bold declarations:

I have a colourful  Life.
I have a complete Life.
I have a healthy image of a Total Life.
I'm rooted in God's word.
I'm sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
I have a Total Life!
