Steem4Nigeria Accelerator Contest Week 14: What book has influenced you for the major change in your life
Which book have made a major impact in your life? Discuss in details
One of the books that have made a major impact in my life is THE PURPOSE DRIVEN LIFE by Rick Warren. Rick Warren is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, one of the America's largest and best-known churches.
Yes! Each of us have purpose for which our existence on earth is determined. What on earth am I here for if purpose is not a very concern? Biblically, in Proverbs 11:28 (Msg), the driven purpose of God over man's existence is for us to flourish and live Godly in him. This book has entrenched my life with the insight of apprehending why I'm alive and also divulge God's fascinating and incredible plan for me, both here and now, and for eternity. And again, knowing God's purpose over your life will:
- Lessen and diminish stress
- Spotlight my vitality, efficiency and intensity.
- Streamline my decisions
- Give meaning to my life
- Prepare me for perpetuity
How did you come across the book
As a writer, we were trained to always be at look for inspiring materials that will grow our audience, because an adage quote: readers are writers and writers are readers. For you to become valuable, never get rid of reading other authors articles, especially the inspired ones. So I always have this attitude of investing my time on articles that will help me grow my audience and also become perfect.
It was through this applications enforced into actions that I was able to come across this book. I had a friend that nomatter the storms that rest on him, reading never departs from his prints. And I've been a close replicator when it comes to this. So, whatever material gives him joy, I would also love to contact. And that was how this book became my favourite spell.
Kindly mention five positive things you have learned from and describe how it affected your life
✅ I am not an accident: unlike some folks will say, they're exhausted of nature. For me, for as long as my existence is not an accident, the Bible says that I was perfectly made by God... So, there is vitality in me, there is efficiency in me. Because of this caption, I'm assured that my creation wasn't a mistake, instead a Blessings to million generations.
✅ I am made to last forever
Rick warren once said that life on earth is just the dress rehearsal before the real production. Meaning that the earth is the staging area, the preschool, the tryout for your life in eternity, the practice workout before the actual game; the warm-up lap before the race begins. For this course, since I am made to last forever, there's every possibility that not everything the earth assume should be practiced by you. They may not actually be favourable and conducive, it may puncture your life span.....
✅ I do things that makes God smile:
The attitude most of us embraced is so toxical to the extreme. We do things that choke or makes God incensed with us instead of been happy. Rick warren nurtured me with this word of knowledge making God smile. Most times we do not understand that God's smile attracts supernatural elevation, projection and intimacy. Rick unveils that worship, praises and gladitude makes God smile..
✅ I am shaped to serve God:
From this book I also learnt that nomatter the flags of heaviness, the inflictions released on you, nothing should cause you to slide back into carnality. For sure, Rick Warren reveals that every images created by God are entitled a specific name humans were shaped to serve God no matter the cynicism.
✅ Be a balance christian
There are christians that are claimant of faith but lack the knowledge of becoming a balance christian. Life is in different phases, and so if our attention is limited, we won't be able to grow ourselves to God's expectation. But Rick Warren book entails that inorder for such projects to be achieved, there's need for one to navigate to the driven purpose of God.
Would you love to share such experiences with your children
Yes of course. For as long as it is valid and in alignment with God's driven purpose.... For as long as it does not heighten evil.
In conclusion, I believe I've being able to unveil the book that influenced my life to the core. Highlights some essential ingredients that has heighten supernatural elevation and cause me to expand in distinctions. You can get a copy from the bookstore to also have a story to tell as well.
