To have a productive life means to be fruitful, influential, functional and effective. The bible clearly reveals God‘s plan for us.
Text :Jeremiah 29:11
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.the Apostle Peter writes to the Church in these words,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.I like you to notice that when Peter spoke, he carefully choose his tenses, speaking categorically in past tense, showing that the prophecy we read from Jeremiah, concerning God's promise of a hope and a future is now a reality. God's divine power at work in Christ Jesus has granted us this glorious life of fruitfulness, abundance, praise and excellence. Until Christians come into full comprehension of this fact, and begin to see themselves as God sees them, they will not enjoy God's best for their lives.
Productivity in life is not for a select-few, the Christian life is ordained for productivity. Let me show you what Jesus said to his disciples.
Text :John 15:16
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, and that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it youThis is awesome! He chose us for productivity, to bear lasting fruit, to be effective in life, not to beg or be beggarly, but to lead a life that permanently attest to his praise and glory, Hallelujah! "Productivity is not for a select-few,the Christian life is ordained for productivity"
Productive living therefore refers to leading a purposeful, influential and a fruitful life that reveals God's glory from day to day. God has made you the light of the World, God's instruction to you reading this to let your light shine so brightly before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven!
I believe that everyone in the body of Christ can truly come to that place where they become true light to their world, God's hands of blessing, and this will not happen by chance. We will have to harness God's principles for living to have this glorious life of praise and virtue.
