You shall have NO other Gods before me...
Aiyo com on lar..we all know dis..we worship only 1 true God..we are not idolaters..
-common answers when a christian is posed with d 1st commandment-
but how many of u know that idolatry does not only mean worshiping oder gods lik buddha, kuan yin, shiva, etc....??
In Luke 16:13, Jesus said,"no servant can serve 2 masters: Either he will hate one and love the other or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other.
YOU CANNOT SERVE BOTH GOD AND MAMMON (money)
A new form of idolatry is on the rise and it is so subtle that people dun even realise it. In fact Christians are also trapped in such. Money!! dats rite. MOney. Eva heard people includin christians say "aiyo no time 4 church lar, need money money money..."? in my life, i've been hearing this quite often in fact. sum noe it 2 b rong BUT yt still choose to folo this lifestyle.
BEfore i began i would first like make it clear that money IS important BUT when it comes between you and God then u noe God has to come 1st. But sumhow people still choose to go after the things of the world. No doubt we need money to survive in this world but does that mean we have to forget all about God in order to gain wealth? certainly NOT!
As i have mentioned in my previous post, if any1 loves the tings of the world, the love of the Father is NOT in him. As christians we should realise that we are only passer-bys in this world. What we gather from here we cannot take for eternity. So?? u can make ur own conclusion.
I have encountered a few people who chose money and riches over God n i've seen how deir lives have been cursed. ALWAYS in need, ALWAYS in debt? is this the kind of lifestyle u want? y not choose to put ur trust in God. Seek His kingdom and righteousness FIRST then all this tings shall be added unto You (Mat 6:33). Is it so hard to trust God to provide for all our need in fact to even give us that abundant life? Honour God and He WILL honour You!
One foot in the world, one in God.. Will this work? NO!! how can a servant serve 2 masters?
Honour God and He will honour You. Remeber Your 1st love!
Sincerely,
David
