To live a profitable life means to be impactful, useful, helpful, valuable, and fruitful. God desires your life to be profitable to Him, yourself, and others. It is His purpose that you excel impactfully in this life.

Many people today are not living a profitable life — even if it’s just for themselves! But by their choices and decisions, are living an unprofitable life which could lead to regrets later in life.

If nothing urgently is done about it, they may end up in frustration, depression, and sometimes suicide. To Avoid A Wasted Life, you must live a profitable life.

The following are 10 biblical advice for your side hustle that will help you to live a profitable life:

The salvation of your soul is the beginning of living a profitable life. It gives your life the right direction — a redirection to God. “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”

God is the author and maker of life. You need Him to fully understand and discover your purpose in life. The good news is that, knowing God is not difficult! The first thing you need to do is to accept and receive Him into life by and through Jesus Christ if you’re not born again.

“But seek your first the kingdom of God and His righteousness: and these things shall be added unto you.” Your spirituality is the bedrock for your destiny. Man’s real and deep underlining problems are spiritual.

Your stand in God determines your height in life. To live a profitable life, you must be spiritually rooted. Read, study, meditate and obey the Word of God.

Meditation and obedience will give you prosperity, good success. It will make you wiser than your enemies, and give you more understanding than all your teachers.

To neglect your gift is to neglect your lift. Your gifts and potential are your leverage and advantage in this life. The gift(s) you have distinguishes you from the crowd.

It is not enough to be gifted; you should put in the needed work to maximize your potential. “A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men”.

Your potential is your conveyor to your dreams and destination. Your potentials are key to your opportunities in life. Discover, develop, and polish your potential. Go the extra mile.

Purposeful living is a profitable and impactful life. A life of no purpose is a life of no direction and profit. Because where there is no direction, momentum is lacking and mistakes are bound.

The purpose of your life opens the doors of possibilities for your life. Where life is without a direction it becomes a burden.

“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore, he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself”. Purposefulness imparts distinction and excellence.

Live with a Sense of Urgency. Seize every opportunity and moment because you need a sense of urgency to fulfill destiny. Procrastination sustains stagnation and is a hindrance to destiny fulfillment.

Don’t procrastinate on what you should do today for tomorrow. “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise. Redeeming the times, because the days are evil”. Give your best always.

The people that surround you, determine how you can survive in this life. Ensure that the place and people around you are those that bring the best out of you.

Don’t be under pressure to impress and fit in. Seek and maintain quality relationships with people. “Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up and came into the city: and the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe”.

Good deeds are profitable both to the doer and the beneficiary, and God is pleased. And when the way of a man pleases God, He will make even the man’s enemy be at peace with him.

It is more blessed to give than to receive. The doer is sowing a seed, and whatever seed a man sows that shall he reap. Don’t get tired of doing good or get discouraged, you’ll certainly reap the harvest at the appropriate time; never give up.

“Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” It is when you live beyond yourself that you live beyond your time.

Making a difference is superior to making a living. Don’t just face yourself, face others. Assisting somebody will help you avoid a wasted life.

Be a problem solver, not a trouble maker. Pursue excellence and success will follow. Individuals that strive for excellence don’t strive with people “And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient.”

Every invitation to bitterness is an invitation to backwardness. Don’t allow anybody to engage or recruit you into enmity. As much as possible be at peace with all men.

When you try to set up healthy habits, your deeply rooted bad habits may get in the way. It may seem like shifting to a healthier habit takes a whole lot of willpower. But when you have decided, you will be determined.

Eat well, exercise adequately, and rest properly. “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” Healthy habits are profitable to every aspect of your life and living.

The blessing of God is tied to service. Be actively engaged in kingdom business, with your gifts, time, and resources. Remember, the only thing that follows you beyond life into eternity is your service unto God here on earth, not your physical achievements and wealth.

Be committed to the service of God. “And you shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.” When you serve God, He will service you.

No one lives on earth forever but only for short period. You’re a pilgrimage on the earth. One day you will go and meet with God in eternity. So, for that purpose ensure you live with the consciousness of eternity.

“So, then every one of us shall give an account of himself to God.” It is the consciousness of eternity that imparts caution to action. Death is inevitable, eternity is real.
