Consider Your Ways [podcast]

The three perils that consume the lives of self-idolaters. These are the three things that many are engulfed in, sending themselves to Hell …. because they’ve rejected Christ as their “first love.” (Revelation 2:4-5)

Are you taking care of your own business and not “the Father’s business”? See Luke 2:49. If so, unlike Christ, you are all about yourself, your own self-serving business and not “the Father’s business.” The LORD created and saved you to be about His business first and foremost. How do you think that’s going to work out for you if you don’t repent and begin putting the LORD first in your life and finances? Diminishing returns.

“And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.” Mark 4:19 

1. “cares of this world”
2. “the deceitfulness of riches”
3. “the lust of other things”

There are no do-overs! Death and your eternal destination are final, irrevocable.

God has a clear warning, a message to those pouring all HIS resources into their own temporal homes in this fleeting world. He’s watching and will hold us all accountable (Mark 12:41-44).

“Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.” Philippians 4:17

Paul the apostle of Jesus, cared deeply about the heavenly “account” of Christ’s saints! YOU have an “account” in Heaven and Jesus instructed you to lay up treasure into it! See Matthew 6:19-21.

“Consider Your Ways” Saith the LORD.

Those not consumed with Christ as “first love” will without exception be consumed with “…the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things” (Mark 4:19; Revelation 2:4-5).

Are YOU supporting the work of Christ, of His Gospel? God is watching the way you spend each and every penny He has and is giving you (Mark 12:41-44). He’s holding you personally responsible to support His Gospel work (Matthew 9:35-38). Are you ready to get your house in order?

How much of your temporary earthly gold are you investing into eternal treasure?

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. … 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:19-21, 24
