When u re very happy,watch ur actions or else u wil becom a victim of dat happines.D target of true followers of Christ is not jst happiness bt joy.Hence,d Lord in matthew6.33 says,"But seek ye first d kingdom of God,nd his righteousness;nd all dese tins shall be added unto u." Nd Paul by d HolyGhost in Romans14:17 defined d kingdom of God 2 encompass joy."For d kingdom of God is not meat nd drink;but righteousness,nd peace,nd joy in d HolyGhost."If u chase afta tins,d best u can get is happiness.U can neva find God wen in pursuit of material tins.If howeva u re pursuin God,nt only wil u find God nd evalastin joy,u wil also hav material tins u neva struggled 4.Which is better?To pursue tins nd hav material blessings bt lose God nd heaven,or 2 seek afta God nd hav Him,joy,material tins nd eternity wit Him in heaven?What is ur choice? "Another truth here is dat dose who re chasin tins hold strongly to material tins.Dey tink dey hav a hold on tins bt d reality is dat material tins hav taken dem captive.It has become a stronghold in their lives.Of such,Jesus says in Mark10:24:"And d disciples were astonished at his words.But Jesus answereth again,and saith unto dem,Children,How hard is it 4 dem dat trust in riches 2 enter into d kingdom of God!" It might get 2 a point where unknown 2 dem,dey begin 2 idolise or worship money.Wen u trust in ur wealth sayin in ur hrt dat dere is notin 2 fear abt sickness,hunger,lack,etc.Ur hrt has left God.If u find it difficult 2 pay ur tithe,give a generous offerin or sow into God's kingdom,it is evidence dat u re pursuin tins nd most probably servin dem.Dey want 2 continue 2 amass wealth nd be sure dat their bank accounts re swellin.Anytim dey suffer a loss,dey lose their happiness.And if dey suffer a major loss,dey wil want 2 kill demselves.Material tins re a shadow.Stop chasin shadows bcus u can neva catch one.Start 2 chase d real tin.Start 2 seek 4 God nd hw u can enlarge His Kingdom,nd u wil hav beyond ur bargain.
