God's Promises Sunday

Matthew 6:24, No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. 

All things come from God, but everyone decides what to do with the gifts they receive from God. It is a sad fact that a very high percentage of well-educated, successful people, reject God, and delude themselves about how great they are and not how great God is.

This is the way of the world. Pride and arrogance are an abomination to God. When we focus on the ways of the world, we are in fact rejecting God. Some people worship money, power, status, position, and all kinds of other things. After all of this is gone, almighty God will still be God.

Luke 18:24-25, Jesus seeing that he had become sad said, how difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God! For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.

The camel and the eye of needle is an analogy to help us understand the impossibility without God.

1 Timothy 6:10, For the Love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. It is through the craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

So now you have a snapshot about how something may be desired but can lead to destruction.

Poor people will always be with us. Almighty God loves poor people and a great percentage realize God is the only answer to their problems.

Almighty God instructs us to be a part of the answer for them. They get helped and we get blessed. That seems like a good deal all around

Luke 6:20-21, And he lifted his eyes on His disciples and said, Blessed are you who are poor for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now for you shall be satisfied, Blessed are you who weep now for you shall laugh.

An important factor for you to remember that we must always realize. By the grace of God most of us can help others in some way. Look at it this way. By following what God wants us to do we are God’s answer to their prayers. God bless you and your family, Praise The Lord!

Remember Jesus loves you.

Prayer of Salvation.

Lord Jesus Christ I am a sinner. I know you suffered and died on the cross and rose again to wash away my sins and to save me. I acknowledge my sins and Repent of those sins and ask you to come into my heart as my personal savior I believe, and I receive the gift of Salvation. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Amen. 

Praise The Lord!
