The Profit Motive

The whole world is driven by the profit motive. People are always scheming, thinking of how they can benefit from what they say or what they do. Their motives are selfish. Even preachers and churches want to benefit from the people.

The child of God is motivated by the Spirit of God, his only desire is to be pleasing to Jesus. What is YOUR and my motive? Why do we do things? Do we want to achieve some selfish ambition or gain some benefit or are we seeking to be pleasing to Jesus? What motivates us, the Spirit of God or our own selfish desires? Are we TRULY children of God?

May Jesus bless you.

Carnal Christians

If we follow Jesus Christ then our only concern is being pleasing to Him. Then we wait for His confirmation and His approval. We LISTEN to His voice, we OBEY Him, we GO WHERE He sends us and we DO what He tells us and we are not concerned about what anybody thinks about us.

If we are still concerned about being acceptable to the world or being approved of by other people then we cannot be following Jesus Christ.

Jesus strongly rebuked the pharisees, He said to them:”How can you be seeking the glory of God if you are still concerned about the praises that you receive from each other?”

If you are still concerned about being accepted by the church or fitting into this world then you cannot be following Jesus. Then you are carnal, demonic, fleshly, then you are an enemy of God!

Are you a follower of Jesus or are you a CARNAL CHRISTIAN?

May Jesus bless you.
