Today's Passage - Matthew 6:24

You don't want to miss this.

River of Life Christian Church ︳www.rolcc.net/english Matthew 6:24 "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." Lord clearly told us here that we cannot serve God and serve money at the same time; in other word, we cannot have our feet on two boats. Many people have their feet on two boats; it's fine with both boats are going towards the same direction; if the directions are different, we will end up falling into water. In today's society, money is highly revered, so such concept is impacting the daily life of believers today. . In theory, we all agree with what the Lord said, and in our heart we are willing to look upon God and just serve Him. In real life, however, we inevitably walk onto the path of money. The easiest way to test is when you are shopping for something: What is the first thing that you consider? Whether you can afford it, or whether God wants you to buy this thing? We're not talking about daily necessities like food here, but rather buying something that you want. When you are buying a house, do you first consider how much money you have, or whether God wants you to move to this new house? This test can help us to examine the motive in our soul. When we are buying something, if all we think about is whether we can afford it or whether we can borrow enough money, then we are really serving the bank and not serving true God, and that is a major challenge in our life. .  In the past, missionaries leave their home countries because they responded to God's calling, not for any financial gain. The famous missionary to Hong Kong, Jackie Pullinger, was called to leave Great Britain when she was 19. She didn't know where to go, so she just bought a ticket to board a ship. Once she arrived Hong Kong, God told her to get off, so she did. The immigration officer asked: "What will you do here?" "I don't know." "Where will you live?" "I don't know." "Why did you come then?" "Because God wants me to come." The immigration officer let her into Hong Kong, and God led her to a slum to help those in dire need. If she was thinking about money, then she'd never take on the path of missions. What are we serving in our life today? What are the conditions that would drive us to serve, money, circumstance or God's calling? May God often remind us to serve Him wholeheartedly! Pray with Pastor Tong Lord, may your spirit help us! If we are walking down the path of money in our life, please forgive us. We once again come before you and we want to learn to serve you and not serve money. Let us not just look at the environment, but rather to solely focus on you. I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, amen!
