God vs Money

We can talk about God’s blessings all day, but if the success you’ve gained was obtained immorally in the sight of God, then it wasn’t God that gave you that success. It was yourself. What if I told you that you could gain the whole world without God’s help and lose your soul in the process? What if I told you that just because it looks good, it doesn’t mean it’s God? What if I told you that your swollen pockets aren’t necessarily a sign that God is “in the blessing business?” The reality is that people (Christians included) have made money their God, and it’s impossible to serve God and money. God isn’t the author of quick fixes and fast money. In fact true blessings are obtained through the obedience of the one who loves God, serves God and puts God first in a way that honors Him. So what master do you serve? The dollar? Or Jesus?


"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. | Matthew 6:24

Gifted

You were gifted with a gift.  You were created with a passion Designed for a purpose, not for form or fashion. You were gifted with a gift Bigger than your mistakes It waits in eager anticipation Your purpose never waits. You were gifted with a gift The time is now The world needs your story But the question is how? You were gifted with a gift Yet the gift may be hidden It seems nonexistent  Almost bed ridden. You were gifted with a gift It's time to bring it to life It may seem irrelevant But someone needs your light. You were gifted with a gift Your life He did save Your sins washed away Your purpose doth made. I know you've been slept on It was all for a reason But hear me when I say Tomorrow is your season. So for today fear not For growth takes time For now, use what you got In His Will, you'll be just fine.

treasure

treasure In this lesson we will be examining the heart as it relates to the treasure of a person’s heart. Lesson Verse: A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. | Luke 6:45 ·          Question 1 : What is treasure? Treasure is anything that you value. It becomes treasure when it is stored or kept away in secret. The focus of this scripture is pointing out the treasures of our hearts. These are the things that we have stored within our minds. These are the things that we value, show concern for, like, dislike, etc. They are ultimately your heart’s desires. ·          Question 2 : What are some things that are near and dear to you?
