“FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Do not love the world or the things of the world. If someone loves the world, then love for the Father is not in him; because all the things of the world — the desires of the old nature, the desires of the eyes, and the pretensions of life………” (1 John 2:15-17)
Don’t set the affections of your heart on this world or in loving the things of the world. The love of the Father and the love of the world are incompatible.
For all that the world can offer us—the gratification of our flesh, the allurement of the things of the world, and the obsession with status and importance — none of these things come from the Father but from the world.
FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY
Material things have a way of bringing a false sense of security and pride into us.
Have you noticed that when you wear a new set of clothes that really look good on you with an appropriate new set of attractive footwear, you feel taller, more confident, and walk brisker? If you own a new car, and someone admires it, your head feels so high up in the air!
How long can you carry on in the security of what you have or in the pride of life of where you live? What really has never sunk into your heart is that none of these things are going to help your lost soul.
You may have a lot of money that is all “your own” because you worked hard for it.
If you think you can do what you want, spend it on whoever you like, buy whatever your heart desires, and live loosely without any restraint, then you are in trouble.
There is nothing wrong with having an abundance of material things. It is only when the whole confidence of your life stems out from the strength of it that you must pay heed lest it become a snare to you.
Money is not the root of all evil, but the word of God in 1 Timothy 6:10 tells us that, “the love of money is a root of all evil……”
Money may take you to all the countries of the world, but you can never go to Heaven with it.
What has taken centre place in your life? Review your life with Jesus Christ as the Master and owner of all that you own and all that you are.
Let Jesus Christ be the confidence and strength of your life, and your life will have the assurance, meaning, and joy that you can find in no other.
Somebody shout, HELP ME LORD!
Shalom and good morning.
