Philippians 1:21-24 (NET) For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain. Now if I am to go on living in the body, this will mean productive work for me, yet I don’t know which I prefer: I feel torn between the two because I have a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far, but it is more vital for your sake that I remain in the body.
Living for Christ doesn’t just impact your spiritual well-being; it also aligns every part of your life—your health, relationships, and even your decisions—with divine order. Dozie’s testimony of walking in divine health is an example of how living for Christ brings wholeness. But there’s another dimension to living for Christ that is worth exploring: fruitfulness.
A life lived for Christ is not only purposeful but productive. Apostle Paul recognized that as long as he remained in the body, his life would result in “productive work” for the benefit of others. He saw his life as an opportunity to advance the kingdom of God and enrich the lives of those around him. Paul’s life exemplified the principle that when we live for Christ, our lives naturally bear fruit that lasts (John 15:16).
Living for Christ means surrendering personal ambitions and embracing God’s mission for your life. This might involve ministering to others, excelling in your career with integrity, or supporting your community through acts of service. It is a call to shift your focus from self-centered living to Christ-centered living.
The beautiful paradox is this: when you prioritize living for Christ, you gain true fulfillment. As Paul discovered, living for Christ does not diminish your life; instead, it enhances it. This includes experiencing the joy of fulfilling your divine purpose and the assurance of eternal rewards.
Go into today knowing that living for Christ positions you to be fruitful and impactful. Your life will not only glorify God but also bless others in ways that extend beyond your imagination.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I want my life to be fruitful and impactful for Your glory. Help me surrender my plans to Your will and live in a way that blesses others and fulfills Your purpose for me. Amen.—Abraham Damilola Arigi
