Who are the happiest people on earth? If you follow and obey Christ and love God with all your heart, all your mind and all your soul YOU belong to this group.
But the question is: Are you enjoying the benefits of belonging to this group?
You may be reading this with an echo in your heart that says – YES this is me! IF so, my response to you is FANTASTIC! Lead on Champion!
But you may also be reading this with an echo in your heart that says – I wish I was really happy! If this is you, read on.
WHY so many Christians are not really happy:
- You were born a champion
- You were given the right to develop as a champion (mature child of God) the day you decided to follow Christ (John 1:12).
- All of the abundance and riches of God were made available to you in Christ Jesus (Ephesians 1:3) and yet you are not happy?
So then what is wrong?
There are too many Christians who still sincerely believe that Jesus taught against riches (which includes success and happiness).
It is harder for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven – is the scripture quoted to support this.
But if you look closely at ALL of the teachings of Jesus found in the New Testament (and ALL of God’s dealings with man throughout the Old Testament) you will find ONE central theme.
God is interested in the condition and focus of the HEART.
(Look at the context of the scripture quoted above – Matthew 19:16-22 The young rich man was grasping his riches in his HEART).
God and the Bible are NOT in any way against success, abundance and happiness. On the contrary:
Jesus Himself said: “I am come that you might have LIFE and have it in ABUNDANCE“.
True happiness is the result of KNOWING that you are fulfilling the exact purpose you were born to fulfill.
This means that:
- You recognize you have a destiny or a purpose for being in this world.
- You choose to embrace this purpose, train for it, live for it and even die for it.
- You recognize that when you walk in this purpose (your destiny, or your WHY) you are pleasing God and yourself. You cannot help but be fulfilled when you are living your true purpose.
- You recognize and know that your destiny is ALL good (Jeremiah 29:11). God’s plans for you are good.
- You recognize that God’s desire for your life is that you enjoy His abundance! (John 10:10).
Are you ready to train to live in the abundance and victory you were born to enjoy?


Look for more about this on Thursday next week.
