DISCONTENTMENT CAN MAKE YOU LOSE EVERYTHING

DISCONTENTMENT CAN MAKE YOU LOSE EVERYTHING 
Scripture: Psalm 47:2-4 NASB
Topic: Discontentment Can Make You Lose Everything 

“For the LORD Most High is to be feared, a great King over all the earth. He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet. HE CHOOSES OUR INHERITANCE FOR US. ” 
Psalm 47:2-4 NASB 

Discontentment is dangerous because it makes you reach out for things God has withheld from you. Do you know that God withholds certain things from you? God may have withheld riches from you but given you a faithful husband. He may have withheld an international ministry from you but given you a great national ministry. 

There is always something you do not have and you must be careful when you go out seeking for things you do not have. You don’t have to add to the list of discontented people below. 

a. Adam was given ten thousand million trees but God withheld the tree of life. He reached out for the tree of life and he lost his place in the Garden of Eden.

b. Ahab was given Israel but he was not given Naboth’s vineyard. He reached out for Naboth’s vineyard and he lost his kingship.

c. David was given lots of women but was not given Bathsheba. He reached out to take Bathsheba and he lost his peace.

d. Absalom was given the right to be a prince and an important person but was not given the kingdom. He reached out for the kingdom and lost his life.

e. Gehazi was given the privilege of becoming Elijah’s successor. He reached out to get some money and clothes and lost his ministry.

Discontentment is an open door for satan to tempt you. God has chosen to give you certain things and has also chosen to withhold certain things from you.

REASONS WHY YOU MUST REDEEM THE TIME - PART 4

Scripture: Psalm 90:9-12 Topic: You must redeem the time because that is the only wise thing to do with your life. Unfortunately, many people do not treat time and opportunity as a special commodity. Time is something rare and precious, which God gives to all of us. It is the only thing you cannot regain or get back. When it is gone, it is gone forever. God’s admonition to us is to use the time we have on earth to do as much for Him as possible. We must work while it is day. The only wise thing to do with your life is to redeem the time for the work of the Lord. "For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.  Who knoweth the power of thine anger? Even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts un...

THE POWER OF BEING THANKFUL - PART 6

Scripture : Romans 1:21 Topic : Unthankfulness in a person is a door to many evils.  "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, NEITHER WERE THANKFUL; BUT BECAME VAIN IN THEIR IMAGINATIONS, AND THEIR FOOLISH HEART WAS DARKENED..."  Romans 1:21 The scripture above shows us clearly that many of the evils and perversions in this world came through unthankfulness. When men discovered more about the creation and discovered the beautiful earth that God had made, they were not thankful.  When they discovered planets, when they discovered the moon and when they discovered the stars, they were not thankful to God. And because they were unthankful, they became vain in their imaginations. Your imaginations become more vain, the more unthankful you are.  When people are unthankful they become almost mad. Their unthankfulness is a form of insanity. Why would you not be grateful for the oxygen you breathe, the air you breathe, the water you drink, the life t...

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.

WHY PRAYER IS MYSTERIOUS PART 3.  Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:17.  Topic: Why Prayer is Mysterious Part 3.  Prayer is mysterious because God is mysterious! God is mysterious and there is nothing we can do about it! If you think you will ever know everything about God then you must think again! God is not a man and we cannot know everything about Him. It is precisely because of the mysteries surrounding God that a lot of people do not pray.  In this series of our quiet time we will see the mysteries surrounding prayer and we will learn that these mysteries should not keep us from prayer but rather draw us closer in search of answers. 3. Mysteriously, God seems to want us to keep asking about the same things even though we have asked Him before.  "Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17  If God did not know about our problems on the first day, He must know our problems and our needs by the third day of our prayer. If He knows all things so well, why does...
