Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and hate the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
TAKE HEED:If your dividing your eyes between the world and God your a cheater.
Having a treasure or treasures on earth and N heaven,OR,pleasing God and man.Sooner or later the paths gonna cross or contradict each other.
REALLY THIS IS COMMON SENSE!
The word Mammom means 2 gain.So...whatever it is your tryin 2 gain,satisfaction of the flesh,pride in yourself,money,wealth.These things do not coincide w/Kingdom ways and things.
Jesus said,"THE SON OF MAN HAS NOWHERE 2 LAY HIS HEAD!" ‘HE SAID,If you want to follow Me, then this world cannot be your home. You have to realize that this world is not your home. You are just passing through this world.’So donot lay up for yourselves treasures on this earth.If you want to be a true disciple of Christ, you must define your relationship to the world. Make clear what is your relation to this world and 2 God.The ‘world’ in the Bible is talkin about a system, a man made system, which is alienated from God.A system THAT DOES NOT OBEY GOD.We as followers of Christ R N the world but not of the world.The worlds values are not Kingdom values.
1 kings 18:21 And Elijah came unto all the people, and said, How long do you halt between two opinions? if the LORD is God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word.
I LOVE ME SUM ELIJAH,He really got on in the people faces....They were mixin Baal worship with worshipping God.They worshipped God 2 please the prophets and worshipped Baal 2 please Men.
There is only 1 God,1 ominpotent,1 omniscience,and 1 omnipresent.
Why n the world would people try 2 add 2 whats perfect?
Going between to makes one unstable and and unsteady and ya purposes will not have full potential.
Elijah got busy he said lets jus see who is the 1 tru God.....2 b continued
