“(…), he said unto them, whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me”. Mark 8:34

We are a product of our conscience to deliver our purpose in this world. You can’t afford to live an inconsistent life and be in the winning team. Let’s see some intentional living sacrifices you would have to make:

Conscience Living

As the Bible states in Acts 24:16, _“And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offense toward God, and toward men.”_ To live conscience living is to acknowledge that sense of right and wrongful doing. It is that urge to do the right thing with a moral judgment that leads to feelings of guilt if one violates such a principle.

Conscious Living

Conscious living creates a passionate personality doing things because you want to and I am inspired and driven by my action. To create a better world, we must first choose to take better care of ourselves. John Maxwell writes: “…Dreaming wouldn’t provide all the answers I needed. Vision wouldn’t be enough to bring transformation to me or others. Only by managing my thinking and shifting my thoughts from a desire to deeds would I be able to bring about positive change. I needed to go from wanting to doing.”

I often said you will never rejoice until you make the right choice. Conscious living is a choice one makes to go beyond being a passenger to an active participant in life. Always remember conscious means to be awake and aware while conscience refers to your inner sense of right and wrong.

Consistently Living

Consistently living means cultivating a personal routine that focuses on your goal. Consistent living encourages you to set passionate goals and work towards them. There is a huge demand today to be consistent in everything we do. Paul encourages us in 1 Timothy 4:15-16, “Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.”

In conclusion, we have to use our conscience to consciously live a life believing that we are made to bring value to this world. It is a deliberate choice we make to consistently run with our goals. In all these, remember the holiest thing in your life, is your conscience. It can’t be cheated.
