Acts 17:28(KJV)
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
To live, move and have your being in God is to be dedicated to God with your all. It is being alive purposely because of God, a life that is sold out to God. To live in victory over sin, you must replace your thoughts, desires, and feelings for God. As children of God, we continually live, move and have our being in Him, can never live this life on the highest unless we are dedicated to Him. For being in Christ and Christ being in us is the best thing ever, for our existence becomes profitable as we fulfill purpose.
Most people are still battling with the meaning of life and what it is worth. There are many who live today and they live the way they want because they totally misunderstand life. They forget to ask themselves why they are here on earth? If you don’t understand your origin, you will never understand your destiny. Isaiah 43:21 says “This people have I formed for myself; they shall shew forth my praise.” God formed us for Himself in order to live for Him and give Him praise. 2 Corinthians 5:15 says “And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” Jesus died for us so that we live for Him. It is not correct for Jesus to die for us and we live for ourselves. But not us, for those in Christ know why He has giving us His life and why we exist, and that is to fulfill His divine purpose. We are on earth to live a life centered on God, to live a life where God, the devil, your friends and enemies know that you are sold out to God. In Romans 6, Paul urges us to “offer” ourselves to Him.
Beloved, make up your mind to be dedicated to God. Make a choice today not to live for yourself, but to instead offer all of yourself to God. Live a life where people see you and want to also live for God. As a Christian, it is an abomination to live for yourself and the devil. Invest in Kingdom Assignment whiles you are here on earth. Philippians 1:21 says “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” Living, moving and having our being in God is living and knowing that there is an eternal Heaven and hell. If you are living carelessly, adjust your life and live for God.
O LORD, use my life to glorify You for without You I can do nothing, for in You I live and move and have my being in Jesus’ Name.
