Text: Luke 12:15(KJV)
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of
covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things
which he possesseth.
If I gave you
everything you wanted in this world, will you be satisfied? If you say yes,
then I will ask you, what will you do when a new desire comes? I wonder what
your response will be. The truth is man is insatiable, and that means you can never be satisfied no matter
the level of possession you may have or will have. Our text of today tells us
to watch out and guard ourselves against every kind of greed because our life
is not made up of the things we own, no matter how rich we may be, and that is
the truth. Think about it for a second if you are still doubting, and you will
realize it. Let us not even go so far, even with this lockdown or pandemic, we
see that all our desires and the possessions that we have gathered have all
been locked up for months, so can you see? One mistake people make is that they
forget that life is not defined by what you have, even when you have a lot. We
can see that in 1Timothy 6:7- For we brought nothing
into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. Because of
this mistake, many people feel like life is worthless since they do not have
any possession or since they cannot satisfy their desires, but the only way
anyone can be satisfied is through Jesus. Why the struggles without Him?
The truth is the satisfaction that you get from Jesus is true
and genuine, and it is without stress. That shows that THE GOD FACTOR IS THE REAL SATISFACTION. The
amazing part is that this genuine satisfaction even comes with benefits like
long life and supplication of all your needs. Wow!!!! Isn’t that unbelievable?
It says in Psalms 91:16- With long life will I satisfy
him, and shew him my salvation. God has promised us with long life, and
we can also see in Philippians 4:19- But my God shall
supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. It
is still unbelievable. So that means that us accepting Jesus and being
satisfied in Him makes all other desires satisfied too. Wow!!!! Really
mind-blowing. So I ask you what kind of satisfaction can beat this true and
genuine satisfaction? Nothing,so why don’t you taste Him today and experience
this kind of satisfaction because our faith in Him can never fail in Jesus
name.
PRAYER POINTS:
1.Thank you Jesus for all your daily
promises to satisfy our lives with fulfilled long life are true, in Jesus name.
2.Father, please fill every of our
inward emptiness that has led to secret tears with You, in Jesus name.
ACTION QUOTE: Can you imagine a day you were fully satisfied without a
desire? If it has not yet happened, it is happening today.
