Shalom's Creed VI: Adancing in Life.

Travelling by road in our great country, one begins to wonder why with all the resources God has blessed us with, there is so much suffering and lack.

Recent research shows that above 70% of Nigerians spend less than $1 per day. So many other tragedies befall many in this country. However, we have a choice to make. Do you want to enjoy the good things of life? Do you want to live in peace and prosperity? Then it is important to make a choice. The Bible makes us understand according to the book of Jeremiah 29:11 that the plans God has for us are plans of peace and not of evil to give us an expected end. The word “peace” is translated from the Greek word “shalom shalom” which includes the total package of health, prosperity, salvation, etc. That’s God’s plan.
The question then is how do I enjoy these benefits of being a Christian? The answer is simple. These benefits are derived from the word. 1 Tim 4:15 says “Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. The word “profitting” means progress, advancement, furtherance or profit in the Greek. This introduces a very important concept – meditation. By meditating on the word, you progress. It is very important you accept this. The Bible says spiritual things are foolishness to the the natural man (1 Cor 2:14). It is suprising how just meditating can bring you progress. Meditation is from a Grk word meaning to mutter, to roar, to talk under your breath. So meditate on the word of God and receive progress.

YOUR LIFE IS GREAT!
