Life is short; are you living it well? Or is your poor decision keeping you from living the quality life God has for you?
In this message, Apostle Gabriel Powell dives deep into the essence of a meaningful life—a life aligned with God's word and guided by spiritual principles. This episode emphasizes the necessity of spiritual cleansing, the power of free will, and the wisdom of making godly choices.
Key Scriptures:
2 Timothy 3
Psalms 90:12
1 Corinthians 10:23
Psalms 39
Proverbs 4:7
Key Points:
Importance of Spiritual Cleansing: Apostle Powell emphasizes the urgency of cleansing personal vices such as jealousy, envy, and unholiness. Genuine transformation involves confronting and overcoming inner darkness. Initial struggles are expected as these issues come to light. True spiritual power shows in the manifestation of God's glory within us, not through material possessions.
Principles of Spiritual Transformation: • Asking God for Purging: This is crucial for better decision-making and achieving spiritual freedom. Behavioral Changes: Experiencing God's glory leads to changes in behavior and character, such as forgiveness and overcoming past traumas.
Biblical Standard: Holiness, as opposed to comparing oneself to others, should measure our lives.
Quality of Life from Scripture: Avoid those driven by negative attributes like love of self and money. Poor decisions can be detrimental to health, relationships, and finances. The greatest gift is free will, but with it comes the responsibility for consequences of our choices.
Valuing Life and Relationships: Life is short and should be cherished, as emphasized in Psalms 39 and 90. A personal anecdote about his father’s tough love teaches humility and the value of life. People are irreplaceable gifts, and their value should be recognized and cherished.
Wisdom and Understanding: Appreciating life as a gift can enhance its quality. Psalms 90 teaches us to number our days to gain wisdom. Wisdom and understanding are more valuable than material wealth.
Decision-Making: Decisions should stem from wisdom and healing, not impatience or brokenness. Every choice has consequences; not all choices are beneficial.
Prayer Life: A strong prayer life is essential for making decisions aligned with God's will. God communicates through His word, guiding us to holistic decisions.
