Lord, we love you.
We want to be like you, we want to abandon ourselves at your feet and serve you, give us a heart that fears you and shares.
Father, look at our situation, don’t leave us in distress, we need you.
Detach us from the love of money and connect us to you.
The love of money stands between us, dad, break that ice.
Because of this sin, it will be difficult for us to enter the kingdom of God, help us.
We want to present ourselves to you as we are this morning, we want to expose our nudity in front of you.
Our strong desire to possess, our thirst for power, our need to amass treasures, this great lust that lives in our hearts are traps that lead us to ruin and perdition, we are idolaters and we always want to veil the face.
A rich man in Matthew 19 asked what he could do to inherit eternal life.
This is a question that torments our minds as lovers of Jesus.
It’s very easy to ask ourselves this question in front of others and to show our pride out loud, we think we are humble and ready for any sacrifice until we discover that Jesus has put his finger on our fundamental problem.
We want to inherit eternal life?
Jesus simply tells us to get rid of everything that clutters our lives, to abandon everything that is superfluous, everything that weighs us down.
So, ladies and gentlemen, let’s sell all our possessions and give the money to the poor.
And boom…
It is an answer that disappoints us, hurts us, embitters us, and fractures us from the kingdom of God.
Welcome to our real world, welcome to our world of greed.
Let’s not even try to say that we are not concerned, we all are and for some, it is asleep, they do not yet have the opportunity to manifest their true identities.
We have to kill this virus, we have to eradicate this venom in our midst.
Material possessions do not protect us, they do not guarantee us eternal life.
We’re not saying owning is bad, we’re just saying our attitude towards what we own is dangerous, our trust in those things destroys us.
Our insatiable desire to possess keeps us from giving glory to the Lord.
A counsel is given to us, let us seek the kingdom of God and his justice and all things will be given to us above all.
Let’s leave greed to Judas Iscariot, let Eve let herself be manipulated by the serpent and fight to silence this bad seed in us, it must in no case take root in our temple.
We don’t even realize, we are slaves to it.
The greedy is not grateful, he complains all the time yet his situation is better than that of many.
Greed reduces us, it makes us look ridiculous.
Saul was the ruler of Israel but the fact that David had slain Goliath and the honors that followed was enough for Saul to leave his administrative duties to focus solely on eliminating David.
The greedy is blinded until he completely loses the blessings of God on his way.
Pray not to become grasping induvidual.
Proverbs, 28:20 – A faithful man is full of blessings, but he who hastens to get rich does not go unpunished.
The Lord blesses the hands of those who love him and seek him.
The Lord is the provider of those who trust in him, he will never let those who obey him fall, he will open the doors of glory to him.
He who runs after material goods is greedy and the things of the world are wasted, they have no value and in no way give access to heaven.
Let’s not separate ourselves from God’s love for the world.
Let Jesus propel Himself and position us as well.
hello to us
Have a good day
