Do you know that many believers have been worshipping idols unknownly? Yes, the way we go about seeking material blessings can in fact make us idol worshippers. See how it works. Material blessings here include good health, good job, riches (money), good husband/wife, nice children, good marriage/family, promotions/positions, cars, housing, and all good things of this physical life which we need to fulfil God's purposes for our lives. These things are good and desirable, and in fact, it is God's will to let us have them. But then, are these the things we should be preoccupied with? Are these to become our focus, when such good things become our main focus, they cease to be good. Why? Because they have become idols to us. "Idols" in the heart are things which we have allowed to displace God in our hearts, things which have taken the number one place in our hearts, things which we have made our main pursuit. God and pleasing God should be our main pursuit. As we please Him, He gets these material things for us with ease. It is these material things that many people have been running up and down looking for, praying for, fasting for, drinking anointing oil for, and afflicting their souls and their bodies for! When we do that, then we are worshipping idols in our hearts! That is why many who seek them don't find them, because God did not ask us to seek those things. We are to seek God's spiritual foundation first, then God would add these things to us. Furthermore, when we make these material things our main pursuits, they displace God in our hearts. We may then lose God as well as the material things we are seeking. That is what has happened to many Christians already. They have lost both God and the material things they are seeking! Are you one of such people? Ask God to show you your real position. Then repent if need be and start doing things the right way. |
