Jesus warned His disciples to first of all beware of hypocrisy.
Are you a disciple of Jesus? The very first thing you need to be warned of hypocrisy. It is the thing that Jesus condemned most in His earthly ministry. Pretending to be righteous before men but your private life is a different thing. You appear to have godliness outside but inside you are rotten. Beware
What you do secretly will be manifested before everyone and whatever you say in secret will be heard by everyone. God will expose everything you have been trying to hide from others and you cannot hinder God when His time comes to expose you.
Do not be afraid of people whose lives is in their nostrils and what they will say even if they scheme to kill you; but fear God who can kill you and cast in you hell. Fear Him. Don't be a hypocrite. Live before His eyes and seek Him to help you overcome what is generally called private sins. But they are not private because God is watching you, the angels are watching you and weeping, the demons are watching you and laughing at you and love it when you pretend before God's people because they know what you have been doing in your private life and are just waiting for you to die and they drag you to hell finally. Wake up and relent before it's too late.
God is concerned about the sparrows. He has very much concern about our lives that He has counted the numbers of each hair on our heads. We are of greater value than many sparrows and He cares intensely for our lives.
If you are not ashamed to confess Him before men, He will not be ashamed to confess you before His Father and the holy angels and vice versa.
If you sin against the Son of man, you will be forgiven, but whoever curses the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. This is the unpardonable sin. When you commit it, you will no more have a desire to repent and give up your sins. You can sin with a clear conscience and no conviction of sin. Very few people have reached this road of no return. But you have not reached it yet if you still have a desire to repent.
When you are persecuted and taken to courts, don't worry what you will say to defend yourself for the Holy Spirit will teach you what you will say in that hour.
Someone said to Jesus to tell his brother to subdivide the inheritance with him. Jesus asked who made him a judge on such matters.
He said, be WARNED ABOUT COVETOUSNESS and every form of greed, because LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY HOW MUCH PROPERTY YOU OWN.
He gave a parable to demonstrate his point saying a rich man have abundant harvest and decided to build great barns to store the harvest which he planned to eat and drink and enjoy himself for many days. The very night he was thinking of that was his last night to live. Who got everything He earned and saved?
It's always good to keep in mind that we will live everything behind and others will use or misuse them.
This is what happens to those who lay earthly treasures but are not rich towards God.
Are you rich towards God? Do you use what God gives you to serve God and His children?
Your riches towards God is the only thing you will be left with after you die.
Be rich towards God.
You are blessed to be a blessing
