A Fulfilled Life Part 1!

Dear Partner, Family and Friends,

Happiness is not a goal. It’s a by-product of a fulfilled life.  - Dr. Shaun Marler

Everybody desires to live a fulfilled life.  As I have shared previously in other blogs, success is not a destination, it is a journey.  As we journey through life, it is God's will that we enjoy our life. In the beginning, when God created us, He created everything good, and it was His desire that we live long, purposeful and fulfilled lives.  God has never changed His mind about that and that is the very reason why He sent Jesus.  Jesus came and paid the price to purchase us or redeem us, so that we could be restored back to God's original plan and intentions for our lives. 

Jeremiah 29:11-12 says, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you."

Today I want to share with you some keys to help you live and unlock the blessings of God, in order to help you live a fulfilled life.  

These keys come from the Lord and are presented to us in the book of Philippians.

A fulfilled life celebrates God!  The bible tells us in the book of Philippians 4:4, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!"

From this verse of scripture, the number one key to living a fulfilled life is in celebrating Jesus.  As we celebrate God and seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, putting God first place in our life, this positions us to live the fulfilled life.  An attitude of gratitude is one of the number one keys to victory in life. 

I dare you today, regardless of your circumstances, to rejoice in the Lord and to keep on rejoicing for His goodness and wonderful works that He has done for us.  Thank Him for all the wonderful blessings He has bestowed upon us.  

A fulfilled life adds value to people.  It says in Philippians 4: 5, "Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is at hand." 

Jesus told us to love God with all of our hearts and to love others as we love ourselves.  To love others is to serve others.  To love other people is to care for other people.  To be concerned about their welfare and to add value where possible to their lives. 

No greater value can we add to a person's life than to share God's love with them.  To care for them and serve them, being extensions of Jesus's love to them.  To be so concerned for them that we pray and reach out to them with the love and the goodness of God, being concerned for not only their welfare now, but their eternal welfare.  

The fulfilled life has the ability to cast its cares upon the Lord. In Philippians 4:6 it says, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

God loves you. God cares for you and He has provided blessings, breakthrough and victory for every area of your life.  He wants you to live a fulfilled life, not weighed down by the cares and worries you face.  In 1 Peter 5:7 it says, "casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."

I dare you to cast your cares upon the Lord and let Him do the caring for you!  Keep your eyes on the answer!  Focus on the victory!  

A fulfilled life experiences God's wholeness.  Philippians 4:7 says, "and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."

God wants you whole, spirit, soul and body.  As you learn to rejoice in the Lord and keep on rejoicing, regardless of the circumstances and learn to cast your cares upon Him, focusing on the answer found in His word, His peace that surpasses all natural understanding will keep your hearts and minds at rest.  You will have a quietness and assurance that all will be well. 

In this day and age of stress, anxiety and mental illness, God wants to fulfil your whole mind and your whole body with His peace.  God loves you and He desires that you live in His rest and peace.  Jesus said, "in the world you will have tribulation, test and trials, but in Me you will have peace."  He went to say, "Peace I leave you with and My peace I give to you."  Jesus has made it possible for us to live in the peace of God. 

God bless and much love,

Ps. Shaun Marler

“I am not moved by what I see. I am not moved by what I feel. I am only moved by what I believe.” Smith Wigglesworth.

If God’s Word says you are forgiven, then you are forgiven, if God’s Word says your needs are met, then your needs are met. If God’s Word says you are healed, you are healed. If you don’t let go of God’s Word, but keep it in your heart and mouth, then you can’t lose. There is no force the devil can bring against you that can overthrow the Word of God. God’s Word will make you a victor every time. So if you have been wanting good success and it has been eluding you, quit wondering if you have what it takes to succeed and remember instead, who lives in you. Then turn to the Word and put God’s success formula to work in your life. Start talking it, start thinking it, start doing it! You can believe all day long that the Bible is true- and that’s to your credit- but what the Bible says will never affect your life in a personal way until you start acting on God’s Word. Do not worry or fret that God has given more faith to others than He has to you. Rest assured in the fact that God h

Honour your man of God

“Render to all men their dues. [Pay] taxes to whom taxes are due, revenue to whom revenue is due, respect to whom respect is due, and honor to whom honor is due.” Romans 13:7 (AMP) The word honour means: to respect, to revere, to treat with deference and submission and perform relevant duties to. Honouring your man of God is vital in the life of every born-again believer. Even as a Senior Pastor, it is a privilege for me to honour the men of God that I consider my spiritual fathers and mentors. They are life coaches to me on my spiritual journey to success, shining examples of excellence in ministry, men to whom I look for advice, prayer, guidance and leadership. The importance of a man such as this cannot be overstated. Many of us would not be saved from the wrath to come, had it not been for the assistance, support and intervention of our Pastors. We would be ignorant of the Word, were it not for a man of God anointed to teach. Thank God for men who dare to teach the “Word of God”, i

THE LAW OF REPETITION

Image
What you hear repeatedly, you will eventually believe. Repetition, our school teachers know this basic law of learning. That’s why when we were at school, we learned many things in our early years by repetition. Someone once said, “You must hear something at least 16 times, before you eventually believe it”. Television commercials are repeated over and over. These are backed up by newspaper, magazine, internet and billboard advertisements. The marketers know we must continually hear and see something before we respond to it.  Romans 10:17 says “ So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God ”.  It simply takes time to absorb a message. Great achievers understand the necessity for their team and those following them, to hear instructions, teaching and training, again and again, before they fully grasp new concepts.  Do not expect those around you and those with whom you network, to understand everything instantly. You are a result of a process, y
