GREED CAN BE DANGEROUS


LUKE 12:15-21


We sometimes in life do things contrary to the will of God for our lives, all in the name of being leader of all and as well as the happening personality in the society, forgetting that you can only be the best God permits you to be and cannot become more than God has purposed for your destiny. No matter how much cheating you engaged, and how much stealing, bribery, gossip and intimidating others. You are causing yourself more harm than good by engaging in such act.

Why not in a moment, begin to thank God for the gift of life and abundant, knowing full well that God who has started a good thing in your life will one day accomplish it. Than being like ungrateful fellow used as an illustration of Greed.

LUKE 12:15a

(15a)   “Then he said to them: keep your eyes open
            And guard against every sort of greed”

Greed can push someone to act in a capacity that is not worthy of good report, thinking that God is a spare tyre that can be used and dump at any time, without knowing that God is a consuming fire who catches the crafty in their wickedness.
ISAIAH 44:25

(25)     “That frustrates the tokens of liars, and maketh diviners mad;
            That turneth wise men backward, and maketh their knowledge
            Foolish”

We also sometime are attributing our wealth and affluence as a source of security in the society. Look, if God’s mercy and grace does not work for you by now you should have passed out like others. Let his security and peace guide you in your entire endeavor. God is not a man that he should lie, has he said it in his word, it must come to pass.
PSALM 127:1
(1)               “Unless the lord build a house , it is in vain that its builders
Work hard on it. Unless the lord guard the city, it is in vain
That guard stays awake”

You are not born for an unnecessary struggles, You are born for a purpose so live up to expectation through commitment to special assignment that exceed other task in your life and make a change to your generation
