“3 Words ...”
Categories: Minister's CornerHere are 3 Life-Changing Words that could help TRANSFORM our life and the lives of people around us (Titus 2:11-15)!
1. EXPECTATION (Living above what people expect of us as Christians.) Living with EXPECTATION is important because God expects us to live self-controlled and spiritual lives. It also helps our family and friends know that we live with a Biblical standards of morality, serve with compassion like Jesus, and exist with a heavenly purpose. We must live above others’ expectations.
2. AMBITION (Choosing to dream big and achieve great things in God's Kingdom). AMBITION transforms us and our world. It is a hope or desire of achievement that requires hard work. Henry Ward Beecher said, “A man without ambition is like a beautiful worm--it can creep, but it cannot fly.” From a Spiritual perspective, the apostle Paul says that we need to be “zealous for good works!” He wants us to fly and goes on to say that we need to encourage one another to live lives with healthy ambition. Living with ambition helps others understand that we have purpose in our lives and that there is more to life than what we experience in this world. It helps others know that this world is not our home.
3. ANTICIPATION (Preparing for the life to come with earnest expectation.) With ANTICIPATION we know there is something more meaningful awaiting us than this life.... A home with God! We hope for a life better than this sin-sick world filled with death, sickness, disease, brokenness, heartache and separation. We anticipate the day our faith and hope become a reality. We live in anticipation of the second coming of our Lord when He comes back and calls us home.
Putting these 3 words into action changes us (personality and collectively) for the better!
