The Way to the Tree of Life; Paradise

What does it mean to release the control?
 It is allowing the spirit of God to guide me rather than my own desires. The desires that God has for me is to follow His plans. The by product of following God is happiness. In order to know God's plans for my life is to know who God is. It happens through meditating on the Word of God also known as scriptures as much as possible.

What does the Bible say about debt?
The scripture talks about the greatest commandment is to love the God with all your heart, soul, and mind. That means to have a heart for God. It is have a full confidence in God's promises. God promised the gift of eternal life, and that all things are possible with Him. Being healed comes from having faith. The ways of the righteousness brings success.

Howto live a godly life?
It is to live life on purpose everyday. It is do what God would do in the situation. To cling onto God would mean a satisfying life because God gives all the answers through reading His Words. It is to servant to God's law that sets us free from the sinful nature. It is allow God to be potter while we are the clay.


(Luke 12: 35-48 NIV)
Watchfulness
"35 “Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.”
41 Peter asked, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everyone?”
42 The Lord answered, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his servants to give them their food allowance at the proper time? 43 It will be good for that servant whom the master finds doing so when he returns. 44 Truly I tell you, he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45 But suppose the servant says to himself, ‘My master is taking a long time in coming,’ and he then begins to beat the other servants, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk. 46 The master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he is not aware of. He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the unbelievers.
47 “The servant who knows the master’s will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows. 48 But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked."

This passage talks about being watchful, and that means to be diligent. Being diligent is investing in time and effort to have careful work done because it pays off. It will pay off to learn something from the process and be ready to work when needed.
