TO BE CONTENT

Some folk think a BORN AGAIN BELIEVER (CHILD OF GOD) ought to be poor and walking around looking a hot mess all of their lives, but I don’t believe it’s in God’s plan that we be poor and living worst than anyone else. Nor does being a BORN AGAIN BELIEVER (CHILD OF GOD) mean we have to have a big house on a hill and five cars with access to a jet to fly us anywhere we desire to go. Lining the preachers pocket with your money or giving it all to the Church won’t gain you wealth and riches either.

Bottom line, being a BORN AGAIN BELIEVER teaches you to look at things in a new way and that’s what makes you rich. Having a relationship with Jesus makes you content with what you already have and the more you get of Jesus the less what you have matters.

Living in a nice big house, driving nice cars and wearing fine clothes is wonderful. There is nothing wrong with enjoying the finer things of life. However, to be deeply happy is really knowing Jesus and getting totally involved in what He is doing around you , in your life and in the lives of others. We need to get preoccupied with God’s plan for our lives.

If that isn’t where you are right now, don’t give up, God loves you no matter what state you are in; REPENT, go after God with everything you’ve got. Stop settling for the superficial happiness and make His work your passion. Use your energy to build His Kingdom, to touch the lives of people around you and you won’t even notice what kind of stuff you have or don’t have because then, YOU WILL BE CONTENT.
