The Strength To Put Your Treasure Rightly

Watch
Listen

The bible says “And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well” In this life, what spurs you to do what you are doing? Be it studying, working, living with family and loved ones - what causes you to make certain decisions, give up certain things for the others? If the treasure in your heart is on the tangible things, that reflects your value in life. What ever actions you do or decisions you made, all are for the pursuit of the tangible things your heart desire. If the treasure in your heart is on the kingdom of God, the knowledge of God in you will propel you to eat, drink, talk and work for the sake of gospel today. If you have already known the truth yet you are unable to taste the joy of submission in all things today, continue to seek God by going into deeper and more intense prayer, for God will leave no stones unturned if the children seek to confirm His truth in all things.

“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” <Prov 14:12>. How true this is! Nobody would ever deliberately choose a path of failure and destruction. However, often, it was those seemingly harmless and “inconsequential” decisions that set us on a direction towards a regretful end. Indeed, we face many decisions and choices everyday; and some choices can affect us for a lifetime. For someone who truly believes in God, the most important decision one can make, is to choose God, over and over again, despite trials and temptations in our earthly living. Our own best choices and efforts can lead to futility, but only what God promises and provides will endure. May God enable us to always choose right and choose Him!

Verses to Read: <Genesis 13:5-18>

1. The choice that leads to failure.

* Lot: Carnal Christians

Choose by own analysis (wisdom) and flesh.
Perspective different (opposite) from God.
Some decisions seem inconsequential, but set a certain (tragic) life direction.
Bad choices come with consequences.
How do we compare to Lot?

2. The choice that leads to success.

A choice based on faith.
– Lot trusted own eyes; Abram trusted God.
– Best/wisest choice: Choose God over good conditions.
Faith gives rise to simple heart.
Abram could make blessed choice because of his daily blessed living.
– Prayer-centered living
Blessed choice >>> Blessed consequences.
