Living Altar: Walking Boldly in God’s Purpose with Faith, Prayer, and Conviction

In a world filled with noise, doubt, and distractions, it’s easy to lose sight of who we are and what we carry. Yet, as children of God, we are called to live with unshakable conviction, unwavering faith, and relentless communion with our Maker. The Christian life is more than religion—it’s a lifestyle. A lifestyle of building altars, tearing down excuses, and trusting the One who formed us wonderfully and fearfully.

To ensure we live purposefully as designed by God, here are seven (7) keys, extracted from the Spirit-filled contributions of members of the family during our believers service, that will make your life worthwhile and pleasing to the Father:

You Are Wonderfully Made — Believe It

“I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”
– Psalm 139:14

Even when life feels otherwise, hold a firm conviction that God’s design and dealings in your life are intentional and amazing.

Faith Requires Strategy and Action

“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
– James 2:17

Faith isn’t passive—it requires deliberate planning and action. Trust God, but move with purpose.

Trust in God, Not Human Effort

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.”
– Psalm 20:7

Your effort is good, but your confidence must rest solely in God’s power and promises.

Nail Excuses to the Cross

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
– Philippians 4:13

Don’t let excuses sabotage your destiny. Crucify them daily and rise to God’s calling.

Be Relentless in Prayer

“Pray without ceasing.”
– 1 Thessalonians 5:17

Prayer is your spiritual lifeline—your communion with God, your warfare, and your creative force. Never treat it as optional.

Trust God’s Faithfulness Over Tomorrow’s Worries

“Look at the birds… your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?”
– Matthew 6:26

God is faithful. If He cares for sparrows, how much more you? Rest in His care.

Build God’s Altar in Your Life

“Then Noah built an altar to the Lord…”
– Genesis 8:20

Be the altar-builder in your family. Host God’s presence daily—be the one who breaks generational silence and raises a legacy of communion.

Let this truth shape your daily walk—intentional, faithful, prayerful, and rooted in God’s purpose
