PERRY SEELY MINISTRIES 🌎 YOUR TREASURE

Mathew 6:19-24

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy and where thieves do not break in and steal.

For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness.

If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

“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.

This teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ on storing up treasures, your heart, and who we serve are light we need to take in.

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, IS EXALTED IN AMERICA. ANYONE IN ALL HONESTY CAN SEE THE PRIORITY IT TAKES IN OUR LIVES.

* We are a capitalist nation that is fueled by consumerism *

* A picture has been painted that success in America depends on what material wealth you can attain *

* The billionaire class is the show case of achievement as they buy and sell politicians and news organizations *

* Billions are spent on advertising letting us know what we need and who to vote for to boost profits for the fortune 500 *

* We have been indoctrinated to view money as a way to power, happiness, with social status *

* In our churches divine favor is linked to material wealth. There are those who will not lay hands on you for God’s blessing unless you first give $5000, $10,000, $20,000, $50,000 *

* The divided loyalty of heart is deadly to your Spiritul walk with Jesus Christ *

“IN CHRIST” we have only one master and that is God.

* Paul taught that those in the church were not to trust in uncertain riches but in God who richly gives us all things to enjoy *

JESUS COMANDS US NOT TO STORE UP TREASURES ON EARTH BUT IN HEAVEN.

THE MAIN REASON IS THAT YOUR HEART WILL BE WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS.

YOUR EYES WILL BE FULL OF LIGHT IF YOUR HEART IS IN HEAVEN.

YOUR EYES WILL BE FULL OF DARKNESS IF YOUR HEART IS ON YOUR MONEY.

HOW GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS IF MONEY IS YOUR MASTER.

IT WILL CAUSE YOU DISPISE YOUR FATHER GOD.

* God will care for you and richly give you all things to enjoy *

Remember the words of Jesus…..

NO ONE CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS.
