Our lives as a true and genuine child of God should be governed by Christ Himself, this means, accepting His teaching and principles and allowing it to consume every part of our lives and am very sure we will never regret the decision. Because His government is not like that of the world that steals and bring pains to his subjects. The Bible says in Isaiah 9:6-7
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called wonderful counselor, Might God, Even Father, Prince of Peace.
The government of Jesus is not a political government, the verse above is referring to the government of our lives. The truth is that, we are not supposed to be running our lives because we are not qualified to run our lives, why did I say this? Because non of us is intelligent enough to know what is best for us, as human we will at one time or another try to be bias to please flesh that is if we are to run our lives. But the government of Jesus is a direction, which gives us basic instructions on how and what to do from time to time.
We should be thankful to God for His interference because I wonder what would have become of us if Christ hadn't been born to die for our sins. We will be under the rule of ourselves which is full of greed, hatred and destruction. But the government of Jesus bring forth peace which have unending life span of abundant peace.
Peace of mind don't come by money, good things of life, promotion and what have you, but we find peace in the kingdom of God, which is righteousness, peace and joy within us.being right with God and knowing we are doing the right thing and knowing who we are in Christ is a process, but it leads to peace and peace leads is to joy and great life everlasting.
If we don't have righteousness, peace and joy then we are not enjoying the kingdom of God as we should. Sometimes we need to seek the kingdom, that is, go after it do everything we can to get it Matthew 6:33 says
Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be yours.
The verse above is a principle, remember, God's Word are not lies, they are true and the final. In the above verse He has told us what to do to have a peaceful wealth and riches, not riches of the world so all we need to do is to key into it and make His Word work for us.
We work struggle and strive for all things, this is because we don't do the right thing, life is easy only when we follow the principles of Christ. because through it we can achieve everything we want to achieve in this life.
am glad you have taken out time to read my blog, I know and I pray it will work for you.
GOD BLESS YOU
