CURE FOR GREED
Contentment and gratitude are the only twin solution to the problem of greed.
God expects us to pay attention to the message of nature and draw wisdom. Nature is God’s own testimonial that He exists, and has placed order into all things He made.
If we are ready to do all we can, God will meet us the remainder of the way and do what we cannot handle. Sincere efforts at anything will draw the attention of God.
One vision resonates in another. The lesson is that God’s plan for one life may be inseparably connected to His operations in another life. We see this pattern in Saul, later Paul.
When Peter released himself to the will of the Lord, he was able to move into new territory; the coast of his ministry was extended. There can hardly be any physical expansion of coast without first of all dealing with the limitations imposed by past misconceptions.
The more we get our minds purified, and the more we study to be quiet, the quicker it is for the Spirit of the Lord to invade our thoughts with divine ideas, concepts, and solutions to the questions we face.
If your pain produced either salvation or peace or healing in someone else’s life, then you have not suffered in vain. Viewed in the right perspective, even our troubles can be instruments in God’s hands.
While it is not forbidden to seek for money or material benefits from God, they must never be the focal point of our spiritual journey.
Money is to be used to solve problems and honour God. When we flip this and turn it to object of worship, we will find ourselves on a slippery path.
she looked at miracle as one escape route from the responsibility of life. This might be hard to take, but God doesn’t have this kind of miracle. God will never provide you the miracle that will absolve you of your legitimate responsibility.
