Do Not Be Fooled By Things!
Good Morning,
On this day, June 27, this email comes to minister to you. Happy Monday! How are you doing this morning? Its a wonderful day to be a child of God. In spite of how bad things may have been in your life, it is great to be a child of God. Even when there appears to be more problems than solutions, more questions than answers and more tears than smiles, its still great to be a child of God. No matter what other people say or think about you and your personal walk with the Lord, it is great to be a child of God. So often in life we define how blessed we are by the materialistic possessions we enjoy each day. The more we have, the more blessed we think we are. To the contrary, the reason we are blessed is not because we have many things. No, no, no! We are blessed due to our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The things come as a result of our relationship with Jesus.
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My friend, Do Not Be Fooled By Things! Today you can have many things and tomorrow you could be begging. Today you can be driving the best, but tomorrow you could be hoping to catch a ride. Today you can be dressing in the famous styles, but tomorrow you could be borrowing from someone else. The Bible declares in Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. The material things we enjoy are defined as the 'things that shall be added unto you.' They only come when you seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Many people are living with no understanding of God's blessing system. The blessings come through intimacy with the Lord, not through separation from the Lord.
My brother, my sister, Do Not Be Fooled By Things! You must be very careful to make sure you do not become fooled by things. Many people enjoy things so much until they begin to worship the gift (idol) and not the Giver of the gifts. The Bible declares in Exodus 20:3 - Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Beloved, have you become consumed by things? Are you doing whatever it takes to possess more things? You must remember, as quick as you get it, can be as quick as you lose it. Be not deceived, there will never be any thing more important than the Lord Jesus Christ. Prayer for Today: Father, forgive me for ever becoming consumed with the possessions of life. Allow my heart and mind to always long after You. In the name of Jesus ... Amen!
Scripture Reading for Today: Romans 8:39
May God Bless you at Your point of need!
To God Be The Glory!!
