The world where Man fell into after the disobedience in Eden is one driven by ambitions in vanities and reason Man was subjected to work hard before he/she can survive and live comfortably. Education was designed to make Man have an ambition so he/she can work to gain vanities for survival and comfortable life.
The rich young ruler in Luke 18 went to Jesus as someone in hot pursuit of eternal ambition but by the time he left his hot pursuit of eternal ambition was dampened by his vanities ambitions and Jesus passed a word of knowledge to everyone from his action; Luke 18: 22-27:" How difficult is it for the rich to enter heaven and salvation is only possible with God".(paraphrased).
So are lots of Christians today whose eternal ambition had been dampened by their vanities ambitions. They are ambitious to be the best in business, professions, talents etc but not ambitious to be the best in telling others about Christ, loving the unloving, rejoicing in challenges, etc to save the lost souls. The lost can not save the lost, only the saved can save the lost. So if your lifestyle as a whole is not preaching the gospel of love , peace and joy in words and deeds, then you are a lost soul that is close to entering heaven but never did like the foolish virgins who also dampened their eternal ambition through their vanities ambitions.
Matthew 16:6-12. Jesus warned the disciples to be careful of the leaven/doctrines/teachings of the Pharisees .He is still warning you of the dampened or leavened or diluted gospel of General Overseers , Arc- Bishops, Apostles and whatever titles that are in use.
*Leaven means to make a situation more interesting or cheerful.* Are most of the custodial of gospel not leavening the gospel with vanities ambitions?
Peter and Paul also warned you not to be entangled with vanities ambitions so you can remain sharp as a soldier in your eternal ambition. 2 Peter 2:20, Galatians 5:1 and 2 Timothy 2:4.
With God all things are possible, so it is possible for your eternal ambition not to be dampened by vanities ambitions.
Those celebrating Jesus are losing focus of all vanities ambitions daily.

Daily Prayer point: Holy Spirit cleanse me from all evil spirits of love for the world that is making me to lose focus of eternal ambition gradually.

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.

When Adam and Eve became destitute by the reason of leaving God's presence, the first and only priority of God is to return mankind into His presence. For this reason He left His glorious status, lifestyle and abode and came in the flesh of man. If the destitute state of mankind was not important, God would not go through all He went through to restore mankind from wretchedness to glory that was caused by sin.
So sin is the only priority of God in the life of mankind. With sin no mankind will be allowed in heaven neither see God. Hebrews 12:14" ...and holiness without which no man shall see God ". But God wants you to be in heaven and see Him reason you must make dealing with sin your only priority as long as you live on earth.
Dealing with sin is firstly dealing with your love for money/vanities as this is the root of all evils. Cain killed Abel not for the love of money but for the vanity of been the elder son, he should be accepted first. David indirectly committed murder not for the love of money but for the vanity of sex. You can see that your love for the world makes you do things as an enemy of God.
James 4:4" ...a friend of the world is an enemy of God ".
When your love for eternal things grows in you it will displace love of vanities.
Dealing with sin is secondly dealing with the evil spirits of lust of the eyes , flesh and pride of life that abides deep in the thoughts of mankind. All evil thoughts from these evil spirits had to be taken captive and conformed to good thoughts as it is in Christ.
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 " Though you live in the world of vanities but you do not wage war by using vanities but using love, joy , faith, hope, prayer , praise, fasting etc where appropriate to demolish sinful life so you can live like Christ ".(paraphrased). There is always a force, a power from spirits behind every acts reason by the kind of fruits you bear, the kind of spirit using you is exposed.
Dealing with sin is thirdly conforming your thoughts down to your actions to the standard of Christ. You must be ready to act as the salt, shine as the light ,stand for Christ in conversations and behaviors. Doing this will surely weaken to death all evil spirits that once rule and use your flesh against God and this is the blessings of being a doer of the Word. James 1:25 "...not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it- they will be blessed in what they do".
If you make gaining vanities your first and only priority you will hate, jealous, fear,covet etc. and you can never be saved.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to make sin your only priority.
Those celebrating Jesus are dealing with sin everyday.
Accept Jesus /The Word you hear or read today and be saved.

Prayer point : My Father send into me the Word of Truth that will drive out every love of vanities from me.
Live a spiritually blessed week.

Prayer point:

As continued from last week, God wants us to live in love always with ourselves in the same household of faith, those of different faith , sinners and also enemies. God is love and His love for sinners is based on their repentance not that He loves their sinful ways. His love for sinners made part of Him, also called The Son, to come and die for sinners to repent. His love for sinners made Him to become poor { *2 Corinthians 8:9 "...He became poor so you through His poverty might become rich."}* and brought pain and sorrow upon His body and soul { *Isaiah 53:3-5 "...He bore our sorrows and griefs...wounded for our iniquities... }*
The only reason God's love is willing to bear with you is because He wants you to give up your old life and receive His own life so you will not sin anymore " Whatever is born of God does not commit sin for His seed(life) remains (lives always through him/her)...so he/she can not sin..." 1 John 3:9. If you can sin its because the seed of devil still remains in you.
The love for vanities is the root of all evil but the love for eternities is the root of all goodness. If you hate or jealous your neighbour, its rooted in your love for vanities. You can not hate or jealous your neighbour( husband, wife, boss etc.) and be in a good relationship with God so says 1 John 4:7-13.
The reason you must endeavour to continue to always live in love is the knowledge that all things about vanities life ( good or bad ) always work together for your good ( your spiritual growth). So your joy (which is your strength) should no longer be in vanities progress but in your spiritual progress. When you are always rejoicing you will always have the strength to love and to grow.
Agape love is unconditional because its not rooted in vanities things such as beauty, morality, wealth, skillfulness, skin color etc but in saving and upholding a soul.

With God all things are possible so it is possible for you to always live in love in good and bad times.

Those living the victorious life are growing in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Prayer point: Dear Holy Spirit fill me with Your Spirit of love.

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.
