TRUST NOT ON MATERIALISM
Brethren that is where our lesson anchors (this morning), I am giving this lesson so that you will realise yourself and stop trusting on people or seeking the mundane things. For it is because of your quest for the material things that we have problems on earth.
we have been made to understand that the things which are seen are temporal and shall pass away but the things which are not seen which is our Lord Jesus Christ, shall exist for eternity.
Therefore, the worst mistake we have so far committed is by putting our trust in our fellow man because once this is done, it becomes difficult to serve God.
This is why it is stated in the scriptures that wherever your faith and belief is there shall your love and heart be. That is also why people are mourning, people are sick, dying, quarreling and fighting.
All these problems are caused by man's love for mundane things in which he so much entrusts his heart. undoubtedly, the love we have for material things constitute the problems of the entire world.
It is the result of these problems that peace, love, joy, stability have continuously eluded man on earth.
To this end, whenever you come across someone who is angry, quarrelsome in nature, keeps malice, begrudges, mourns and weeps, know that such a person is in love with material things, and is similarly of the world.
The English axiom has it that , “A good beginning makes a good ending.” If your faith is in God and Our Lord Jesus Christ, then you are already firm and for that reason, you shall neither be shaken nor quarrel with anyone.
When your faith is firm you will not frown your face, lament and shed tears or fight . Of course who are you going to fight with?
In the same vein, even if fire should consume all your houses and property you will not feel it, or even if everyone should die, you will not feel it because you are trusting in God and in Christ.
