Wise Men Say

The moment you say you already know everything about God is the moment you need Him most in your life. (See Rom 1:22 - Claiming to be wise, they became fools.)

There is a language that is very difficult to understand but everybody knows about it. The language has been very successful in creating brokenness and separation in the lives of people. It is the language of pride that keeps on plaguing the lives of people even from the beginning of time. It was when the first persons in the world wanted to become God. A thirst for power, richness or fame is what deceives people until this present time. It is also the innate weakness of man. It is the same weakness that has been used to entice people to invest in a business of uncertainty.

Most of us are aware on the definition and practice of idolatry to worshiping images carved in woods or stones but are not aware of the idolatry that is embedded deep within our hearts. Pride, supremacy, fortune and our selves can be idolatry in itself. ANYTHING we place before God is idolatry. It is anything we RELY ON MORE THAN GOD and ANYTHING WE LOOK TO FOR GREATER FULFILLMENT THAN GOD. Our wealth, does it glorify God? Our relationship, does it glorify God? Our job, does it glorify God?...etc. or Is it a means of a greater separation between us and God?

If the answer is YES to these questions then let us start learning a new language. Instead of the language of pride let us begin to speak the language of Love - To love God and to love others.

As we chart our appointments in business or work, let us not forget to place God on top of our priority for NOTHING is greater than God. Let us also share the good news we hear in church to others. It can change lives. Jesus changes lives not jeflivs.

The word:

1. "Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever!" Romans 1:22-25

2. "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." Mathew 6:33
