“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

1 Peter 5: 7 Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah

Should not serve two masters? How?

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past day, we meditated regarding the deeds that God does in our repentance to safeguard our eternal life from perishing. Our Lord Jesus Christ is saying Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. But countless people in the world are repenting but if we repent the kingdom of heaven should come in our soul. If the kingdom of heaven comes in our soul, we will always be happy. We will not worry regarding things of the world. But we will be always worrying about things of the world. We will be worrying regarding what will we drink, what will we eat, what will we wear and so on. Many do not realize that the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. That is why, Jesus Christ is saying in Matthew 6: 24 – 28 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

“Therefore, I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 

Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 

Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;

When we meditate on this precious word of God if we give place for things of the world importantly in our soul, we are serving the things of the world. We must know that serving means worshipping.  That is why, Jesus is saying that you cannot serve two masters.

Therefore, God says in Matthew 6: 31 – 34 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 

For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 

Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

My dear people, when we meditate on the above-mentioned verses that our Christ is telling that it is enough for us to have peace of mind that God will take care of our everyday things. That is the will that God has kept for us. But many people are stuck in many infatuations and want to collect things and money, want to live with fame just like the people of the world and we see that they are very worried thinking that the comforts required for that have not come. That is what Christ is saying do not worry about anything. We must know that those who worry in this manner are far away from the kingdom of heaven.

If you repent, then the kingdom of heaven is at hand. But because the world is in our soul we worry. That is the deed of Babylon. Therefore, God punishes the children whom he loves so that they do not perish. This punishment is that God pours the bowls of wrath in our soul and prepares it. But when the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates (words of the devil), the water in the river is drying up. In this manner, God is revealing that when God is changing every deed of the devil, what is lying in the depth of that river is the beast dragon.

From this, in the depth of our soul (sea) the dragon (beast) is making us do many evil worldly things and this is being revealed. This wicked devil only does not allow us to obey the words of God and will be deceiving us.

That is what in Revelation 16: 13, 14 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 

For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

My dear people, we must understand well regarding whom the spirits which perform signs are present and we must not give place for the world in our soul but we must accept the words of God and  if we will submit ourselves to God, he will change the dragon, the beast.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
