Luke 12:15
New International Version (NIV)
15 Then
he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed;
life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.
Success is measured by where you live, what you
drive, how big your house is, how much money you make, where you work, how you
speak and how you dress….according to society.
However in the Kingdom of God NONE of that
matters-the homeless man laying down under the bridge of the inner city is
EQUAL with the man who designed and funded the bridge. We are all equal in
Christ. Only in Christ can you take advantage of the equality because outside
of Him you are being ranked in importance and taken out ruthlessly if you don’t
pose a benefit or as a threat to the world system.
Because the world is so materialistic driven it can
be hard,more so for the younger generations to go through life without falling
pray to the wants/yearns for the latest ‘things’ that everyone else has. Myself
included, it can become an addiction for some-that they want so much to be accepted
by others that they would go in debt or even steal just to attain those ‘things’.

Success in the Kingdom is walking in your purpose
with peace, joy and abundance. No where in that does it mention all the ‘things’
you bought for show…
