Who Do You Serve? Part 6

Who do we serve, GOD or mammon?

Jesus paid the price for us to come out of the works of the flesh.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians chapter 5:

19  Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies,

21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Notice that selfish ambitions and envy are included in the works of the flesh.  We are not to focus on self or envy the success of others.  FATHER is Our Provider and HE will provide everything we need to fulfill our calling as we seek HIM and walk in Agape Love.

Yes, FATHER is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything—every moment and in every way. HE will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 9:

9 Just as the Scriptures say about the one who trusts IN HIM: Because he has sown extravagantly and given to the poor, his kindness and generous deeds will never be forgotten.

Paul also wrote in 1st Timothy chapter 1:

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and Love which are in Christ Jesus.

The price Jesus paid was also to take away poverty and lack in all areas of our life.  His exceeding abundance is meant to operate in us and through us to establish His Kingdom on earth!  When a need comes across your path, you are meant to have a stream of income to meet that need.

Jesus spoke the following parable in Luke chapter 10:

25  And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit Eternal life?”

26 He said to him, “What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?”

27 So he answered and said, ” ‘You shall Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.'”

28 And He said to him, “You have answered rightly; do this and you will live.”

29 But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?”

30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped him of his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 Now by chance a certain priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the other side.

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion.

34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

35 On the next day, when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I will repay you.’

36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among the thieves?”

37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do likewise.”

We are not called to respond with the minimum assistance to those in need.  We are to respond with the appropriate assistance in meeting the needs of others.
