How Does God Expect Us To Live?

Happy New week everyone,

Yesterday, I took a closer look at what Jesus meant when He said we cannot serve two masters, and by two masters Jesus referred to God and mammon. I was able to establish that many Believers who are to serve God alone have unknowingly served mammon. I also said that money, which is deceitful riches is that which enslaves and degrades a person. It was then I asked that if many Believers had missed it, then what makes coming to Jesus any special, is it just eternal life which I’m sure a lot of us became Believers for so as to be on the safe side and still hustle as the common man in the world? Today, I will take a look at this issue.

I said yesterday that many of us have been enslaved by mammon unknowingly, and as such are serving mammon. So, what is the way Believers are to live if it kind of appears we are not to work for our pay? Let us take a look at a popular passage in the Bible in Matthew 6:25-34 where Jesus said we shouldn’t worry about anything, such as what to eat, drink or what to wear. Jesus went ahead by making an example using the birds of the air which neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, but yet God feeds them, what does this mean? It means that the birds do not depend on themselves but God, not just on God, but the leading of God which is very important.

The animals believe that God has provided for them, all they have to do is just to come out and find the food. Jesus’ point here is that man is more valuable than these animals and He knows what we need even before asking Him. He also said that it is the unbelievers that worry about what to eat, drink and other things.

But let’s think of it, is it wrong to worry about what to eat, drink or put on? Or maybe planning would be better what do you think? Alright, what did Jesus mean after all these He said we should “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matthew 6:33). To be very clear here, the kingdom of God is what God Himself has called each and every one of us to do right here on earth, which can only be discovered in Jesus Christ because He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. By doing this, we then discover our purpose here on earth as we get to know Him more through the study and meditation of His word.

Doesn’t our discovery still boil down to the same thing? To find out more, log on tomorrow.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
