Experiencing Life More Abundantly 

Jesus came that we might have life; and that we may have it more abundantly (John 10:10b). But in my 33 years as an ordained minister, I’m convinced that many Christians have no clue how to attain life more abundantly. One reason for this non-compliance with the Kingdom way is because they look for life through their sense knowledge – through their flesh. But Kingdom life begins within (in the inner man) and is displayed outwardly as we live in our flesh body.

This is why Believers’ first priority toward living the Kingdom life must be to require it—intentionally; we must be determined, obsessed and passionate within our hearts to live according to the righteousness of God—His wisdom, His Word, and His will.

Matthew 6:33 NKJV is our go-to scripture. It reveals to us the Kingdom rewards associated with prioritizing the Kingdom of God—His rule and His righteousness:

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”

In other words, we must require (seek as priority) life—Zoe—life as God knows it, and has designed it specifically for each of us. And that makes it personal and intentional.

Example: God has given us the breath of life…we must take the next breath in order to live. J

Jesus reveals how to gain life more abundantly—not through the flesh, but through the Spirit and His Word, where real and lasting life is found. John 6:63 NKJV says, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits noting. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”

From the moment of our birth, our flesh drives and preoccupies us. We are motivated to satisfy our needs and desires.

But Jesus warned that the promises of the flesh are an illusion. The flesh “profits nothing”! While everything associated with the flesh seems to answer our problems, it’s of no help in advancing the things that really matter.

So, where is real life? How can we experience things that do profit and last? Jesus says the answer for experiencing real life – things that do profit and last - is in receiving life from the Holy Spirit and His Word.

As we determine to focus on the realm of the Spirit, people may mock us. We can be tempted by the desires of the flesh and drawn away by the things of this world. Yielding to the flesh, we can abandon our relationship with the Lord and our pursuit of the Spirit.

Colossians 3:5 basically says that we must put to death the deeds of the flesh and renew our commitment to be led by the Holy Spirit. In other words, our lives should be shaped by the words of Jesus and the principles found in the Bible. They provide the path to real life, giving true discernment and wisdom, helping us stay on course, and training us to make good decisions.

When the world offers shortcuts and comforts, it’s easy to drift. But as true believers, we must choose God’s Kingdom Way over the world’s way through our daily obedience—choosing truth over compromise and God’s promises over fleeting pleasures. Choosing truth is a faith move!

Hebrews 11:24-25 NKJV says this of Moses: “By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin.”

When we get complacent, it’s easy to lose focus. The world subtly invites us to follow its way—to rely on man’s wisdom, pursue convenience, or chase success on our own terms. Yet the Bible reminds us that true fulfillment doesn’t come from culture or comfort; it comes from our relationship with and in union with Christ alone.

The apostle Paul wrote, “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8 NKJV).

Paul warns us that temptation often disguises itself as something harmless or even good. But anything that replaces Christ at the center of our decisions slowly pulls us away from God’s path.

Believers must avoid temptation. Every day we are faced with hundreds of choices, some of them more tempting than others. Some of those choices are made by man; some of them are presented by God.

But Jesus taught His disciples to pray, “And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen” (Matthew 6:13 NKJV).   

We understand that God clearly gives us choices and decisions, but those choices are not to be confused with the temptation of man—the lure to put other things in front of the Lord. When faced with a decision, we must remember to ask ourselves, “Is this the Lord’s way or the world’s way?”

Doing things the Lord’s way will keep us away from temptation and keep us in the path of His loving hands. In other words, we must always remain obedient to the Word and will of God, for therein lies the reward. Isaiah 1:19 NKJV says, “If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.” 

God’s heart is for us to make Him the Lord of our life. And the choices we make, relative to our obedient and righteous behavior and actions, are the choices that unlock the door to God’s rewards and determine how we’re going to spend eternity.

When we choose to be persistent with God, He hears and answers our prayers. When we choose to spend time in His presence, His peace, blessings and prosperity are manifested on our life. When we choose to praise and worship God and give Him thanks in the face of adversity, we are rewarded with victory. This state of mental BEING envelopes life more abundantly

By making choices such as these instead of looking to the world’s way of thinking, God will shower us with His blessings; “and all these things shall be added to you.” And the God-life (the Kingdom of God) that we require and prioritize today will shower us with Zoe—life and that more abundantly.

God knows the plans He has for us and they have never changed. The life of God is forever, and He has given His life to us through His Son, Christ Jesus!
