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!
