I used to be deep in prosperity gospel circles. I had this grand plan: become a billionaire, then use my billions to win souls for Christ. ๐
Looking back, I realize I was mostly baptizing my own lust for wealth with spiritual language๐๐๐๐
Biblically speaking, the emphasis is not on pursuing wealth or fame, but on faithfully and diligently carrying out the work God has entrusted to you. As the saying goes, "We are called to be faithful, not successful."
Scripture consistently calls us to diligence, stewardship, and contentmentโnot to set our hearts on riches. Wealth may come as a providential blessing, but it is never presented as the goal.
Our ambition is to glorify God through faithful labor, leaving the outcome in His sovereign hands. If God grants wealth, receive it with gratitude and steward it well. If He doesn't, our calling remains the same: faithfulness.
Holy, holy, holy!
Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to Thee
Holy, holy, holy!
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity!
Jesus is the way!!!
Stop looking for strange portals
JESUS IS THE WAY!
Not an escape route
JESUS IS THE WAY!!
Not just another Route but
JESUS IS THE ONLY WAY!!!
Because he is TRUTH AND LIFE
reading ecclesiastes in the bible is such a humbling experience because the whole book basically keeps reminding you that most of the things we stress about donโt actually matter the way we think they do.
