MIND CLEARING FOR CHRISTIAN SPIRITUALITY (1)

đź“–

“No one can deny it—God is really good to Israel and to all those with pure hearts. But I nearly missed seeing it for myself. Here’s my story: I narrowly missed losing it all. I was stumbling over what I saw the wicked doing. For when I saw the boasters with such wealth and prosperity, I became jealous over their smug security. Indulging in whatever they wanted, going where they wanted, doing what they wanted, and with no care in the world, no pain, no problems—they seemed to have it made. They lived as though life would never end. They didn’t even try to hide their pride and opulence. Cruelty and violence are parts of their lifestyle. Pampered and pompous, vice oozes from their souls; they overflow with vanity. They’re such snobs—looking down their noses. They even scoff at God! They are nothing but bullies threatening God’s people. They are loudmouths with no fear of God, pretending to know it all— windbags full of hot air, impressing only themselves. Yet the people keep coming back to listen to more of their nonsense. They tell their cohorts, “God will never know. See, he has no clue of what we’re doing.” These are the wicked ones I’m talking about! They never have to lift a finger, living a life of ease while their riches multiply. Have I been foolish to play by the rules and keep my life pure? Here I am suffering under your discipline day after day. I feel like I’m being punished all day long. If I had given in to my pain and spoken of what I was really feeling, it would have sounded like unfaithfulness to the next generation. When I tried to understand it all, I just couldn’t. It was too puzzling—too much of a riddle to me. But then one day I was brought into the sanctuaries of God, and in the light of glory, my distorted perspective vanished. Then I understood that the destiny of the wicked was near! They’re the ones who are on the slippery path, and God will suddenly let them slide off into destruction to be consumed with terrors forever! It will be an instant end to all their life of ease; a blink of the eye and they’re swept away by sudden calamity! They’re all nothing more than momentary monarchs— soon to disappear like a dream when one awakes. When the rooster crows, Lord God, you’ll despise their life of fantasies.” Psalms 73:1-20 TPT

HAPPY DAY TO YOU: First we need to clear a misconception about spirituality and prosperity. Benefits from spirituality based even on bible promises are  not only for Christians. The only promise that is exclusive to Christians is ETERNAL LIFE WITH GOD AFTER THIS LIFE. If an atheist operates the laws, he will reap the rewards. For example, an atheist that sows will harvest while a Christian that refuses to sow will harvest nothing. 

The second benefit of Christian spirituality is that it keeps one in check to remember God always and honour Him. Christian spirituality keeps you humble whereas prosperity through following spiritual laws of wealth makes man proud and sets him up for a fall. With these in mind, you are going to make a knowledgeable decision of which path you will use to prosper.

Today’s Exercise: Thank you Lord for making me see that my concern about the prosperity of the wicked is not just me and it should not make me doubt Your goodness. Open my eyes to see the gains of trusting You to prosper me as I follow Your Spirit.  Say to yourself ten times today and each time you are tempted to worry about your situation “My God supplies my need for NOW and I am at peace”.

  1. Fantastic distinction between what and why God intervenes and is interested in His Children’s prosperity as against that of proud.

    Good đź‘Ť one Aunty Bose.
