Eternal Riches and Worldy Riches

Which one are you seeking?

​

In St. John 6:27, it reads; Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the

Son of Man shall give unto you, for him hath God the Father sealed.

We as believers must have a mindset of pressing our way to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.  Our mission must be as Jesus was, “seeking the lost”.   So many times in life we can become distracted by the riches of this world.  Worldly riches can be a deception to the fleshly mind, body and soul.  We can find ourselves buying more and more riches and realize we still are not satisfied.

Proverbs 23:4-5 reads; Labour not to be rich; cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not?  For riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.

We as believers must not have the, “I gotta have it” spirit to gratify the flesh. Ask yourself, “do I really need it or want it”?  Am I being content/thankful in what I have?  Am I being led by God’s Spirit?   Is my mind set more on souls being saved, rather than me gaining worldly riches?

We must not burden or worry ourselves because of things we don’t have or want.  Philippians 4:19 reads; “my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.

​

It is wise if you choose to be rich in Christ Jesus. Colossians 2:9 say’s, “For in Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily”. Let us be wise, seek God and trust Him to meet our needs thru a committed relationship with Him; believe in His Word, obey and watch Him do a great work in our life.    .
