" POSSESSIONS "

Well here we are again, the beginning of another week. I sincerely am grateful that you had the mind to stop by.

This week we will be looking into " POSSESSIONS. " Possession is defined in this manner.
1- Control or Occupancy of property
2- Ownership
3- Something Owned; Property
4- Domination by something ( as an Evil Spirit, a Passion, or a Idea)
5-Self-Control.

I'd like to speak about Paul and possessions. Now Paul was satisfied with what he had and so should we. Examine your attitudes toward wealth and comfort. If you focus more on what you don't have than on what you do have, it's time to reexamine your priorities and put God's work back in first place.

The money we earn is not ours alone. Everything that we possess comes directly or indirectly from God and ultimately belongs to Him. We should return a portion to Him and also share a portion with those in need. Possessions will not satisfy if we neglect God. If we put God first, He will provide for our deepest needs. If we put Him in any other place, all our efforts will be futile.

Caring only for your physical needs while ignoring your relationship with God will lead to ruin. As mentioned by not giving God first place in our lives, our work will not be Fruitful or Productive, and our material possessions will not satisfy.

LAST POINT: A greedy desire can entice us into doing things or going places we shouldn't. The prosperity we long for is captivating;it can both entice us and enslave us if our motives are not in line with God's desires.

Until Next Time...
