Mark 8:36
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? [KJV]
Chief Ola was now old and about to die. He started to reflect on His life. He had acquired many possessions, but he now realized that the most important things he did were not things he did for himself but things he did for people, especially those who had no one else to help them, and who had no way of paying him back. When he helped people, he was storing up treasure, not in bank accounts but in heaven where they never get devalued (see Mat 6:19-21).
Anything you do out of love is a spiritual plus, anything you do for a selfish purpose is a spiritual minus.
It is more blessed to give than to receive. Christians are never to be materially minded. I am not saying you shouldn’t have material things, as a matter of fact go get them. But don’t get them at the expense of the only thing you truly own (which is your soul); because at the end of the day, you will realize that material things were only a loan. You leave this world with only one thing- your soul.
Go into today determining to lay your treasure in heaven by doing good and helping the needy in the name of the Lord.
Ask the Lord to teach you to use the resources he gives you for His glory.
Ask Him for grace to help you have abundance in all things and also flourish in every good work (see 2 Cor 9:8).
