WHO IS IN CONTROL ?

It seems like women have less worries, than men. Why? Because they only have one head to think with. It’s no wonder, they think that they are smarter. The problem is men are blessed with two heads,which creates a big problem of which one is in control when we allow the one with no brain to dictate and manipulate us. It takes us down a path that’s not healthy, wealthy, nor wise, because it reduces our capability of being the head instead of the tail, which puts the woman in a position of dominance, because you are chasing the tail, which is temporary satisfaction. But the choice is ours.

No matter what you are chasing be it a woman, man, fame, fortune, or God the choice is yours, and it doesn’t matter if you got one head or two, the brain is what makes the decision as to who you will serve.Deuteronomy 30:19 & 20 says, “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death,blessing and cursing; therefore, choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live, that thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey His voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him,for He is thy life, and the length of thy days…”

I don’t know about you, but I love this life insurance policy, that doesn’t lapse or expire. And this puts the control of my life into God’s hands, when I follow His instructions.

Are you in control of your life? Or is God in control? Or worse, is the devil controlling your life? I would suggest that you allow God to be in control,because He has better things lined up for you than the devil will ever have, and what the devil thinks he has it all belongs to God.

So be smart. Seek God today. Just go to the Salvation page at the top of this blog, and follow the instructions. Come now,and let us reason together,saith the Lord,though your sins be as scarlet,they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson,they shall be as wool,if you be willing and obedient,you shall eat the good of the land (Isaiah 1: 18-19). Look unto me ,and be saved,all the ends of the earth,for I am God,and there is none else. I have sworn by myself ,the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness,and shall not return,that unto me every knee shall bow,every tongue shall swear. Surely, shall one say,in the Lord have I righteousness and strength,even to Him shall men come ,and all that are incensed against Him shall be ashamed.(Isaiah 44:22-24).

TEMPTATIONS

Temptation is the hardest thing to overcome.

A bag full of $100 bills, was left by a guard on the sidewalk, and the armored car pulled off. What would you do? All your bills are overdue? The car broke down, you are hungry, about to be evicted, again what would you do? I already know, that the person who is not a Christian would take it and split, but if you are a Christian what would you do?  Would it be wrong to keep it? Would you think it’s an act of God to supply your needs? Would you pay or give 10% of it as tithe and offering?

Well to be honest with you, keeping it would be a sin. Honesty is always the best policy. You did not receive it as a gift, and you did not work for it, so that would be considered stealing. The three main temptations of sin has just presented itself to us:

The lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life (Luke 4:5-12). We always ask God, not to lead us into temptations (Matthew 6:13), so we shouldn’t have a problem turning the money in. It’s when we yield to the temptation that it becomes a sin, and a curse.

The Bible teaches us, “not to love the world, neither the things that are in the world” (1 John 2 : 15-17). Sorry, but I have to break it down for you. “The love of money is the root of all evil…” (1 Timothy 6:10).  “…you can’t serve God, and money.” (Matthew 6:24).

The Bible, clearly states, “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and everything will be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:33); This one is the true answer, “But my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory, by Christ Jesus,” (Philippians 4:19) not your glory, or man’s glory, but His (God’s).

Yes, I know it’s a tough one. But that money would bring more misery than prosperity. Take a look at James 5:1-3, Proverbs 10:2, Proverbs 15:16 and Matthew 6:19-21. Now how do you feel after reading those scriptures? God is always faithful to deliver the Christian out of any temptation (1 Corinthians 10:13). That’s how good God is.

Do you know Him? Do you want to know Him? Go to the top of this blog, click on to the salvation page, and follow the instructions, it will be the best decision you ever make.

I give Our Heavenly Father, the glory, honor, thanks, and the praise for using me to share His message to us, I pray that He will keep, guide and lead us into His will, and ways, now, and forever in Jesus Name, amen.
