7 But what
things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the
excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered
the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness

the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
A life not committed to pursuing God shall eventually be reckoned as a wasted
life.

THE MESSAGE:
The spiritual equation designed by God for the eternal joy and
inner fulfilment of mankind is for man to depend totally on Him and to do
everything possible to pursue and possess the Lord God as his inheritance.
However, the devil has manufactured a lot of toys and things that will
definitely perish with this corrupt world to becloud the reasoning ability of
man and to also deaden man’s appatite for God, thereby turning the pursuit of
many towards the vain things of this world.

Beloved, you need to know that if you spend your entire life
pursuing the vain things of this world, you will surely stand before the
dreadful throne of judgement on that day to give account of your borrowed life.
What have you been pursuing? Men who have made impact in their generations; men
who have left their glorious footprints on the sand of time, men whom the Lord
delights in and boasts about are men like Apostle Paul whose singular pursuit
in life is God only. They are not suffering from the plague of divided
attention or half-hearted commitment. They are men of only one agenda-in
pursuit of God.

Are you like these men described above? Can God boast about you?
Can’t you learn from Paul who said all those things that were worthwhile and of
great value to him he had treated with contempt and consider them as excreta?
Your pursuit in life will either bring you celebration or tribulation after
your exist from this planet. Remember you brought nothing along with you as you
came into this world and so shall you return empty when you depart to great
beyond. The only assurance of eternal joy for you is to make God your ultimate
pursuit now that you still have the opportunity. I enjoin you to make this
life- changing and eternal decision now, before it is too late. May you not be
wasted, in the name of Jesus.
