Today’s Inspiration: “A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, Loving favor rather than silver and gold.”Proverbs 22:1 NKJV. Seeking first the Kingdom of God is not about wanting God to give us all that we want. On the contrary, it is desiring God to give us what He deem best for us. It takes years to build a good reputation but it only takes covetousness to tear it down overnight. Obedience is better than sacrifice. 1 Samuel 15:22. A regenerated soul and a born again disciple of Christ seeks things differently from the World.
Wisdom teaches us,”Do not wear yourself out to get rich; do not trust your own cleverness. Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone, for they will surely sprout wings and fly off to the sky like an eagle.”Proverbs 23:4-5. Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Colossians 3:1-2. How can your family, ministry, work and business have more of the image of Christ? We are in the world but not of the World. Success in the Kingdom of God is about Salvation, Sanctification and Service through Christ.
Prayer: O Lord my God, my citizenship is in your kingdom and not of this world. Guide me and teach me Holy Spirit how I can be different from the world to shed your light of salvation, hope of glory, and highway of holiness. Gird me with your belt of truth daily and protect my name as I do all things for the glory of God. Direct my steps and light up my path with your Word, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
