The most important thing that we can understand as believers is that GOD is enough. If we understand this then everything we do will be in context to him. This is why the first commandment states:
Exo 20:2 I am YHWH (Yahweh) your God, who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Exo 20:3 You shall have no other gods before Me. God was letting his people know from the beginning that all they need was in him but at the same time he was warning them of the potential of them being lead astray to serve other gods. We live in a world promotes idolatry, whether it is worshiping false gods or worshiping yourself. People have moved away from the worship of the true and living God (YHWH). We have moved away from absolute truth to political correctness and from fulfilling the WILL of God, to Do What Thou Wilt! (in other words, if it feels good, do it!). The strength behind any plant or tree is the vine, it does not matter if the branches get cut off or fall away, just is long as the vine is strong, the plant or the tree is strong: Joh 15:5 I am the Vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. Joh 15:6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered. And they gather and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Joh 15:7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done to you. People are constantly in the pursuit of happiness, however, happiness is based on happenings and is temporary because if the happenings are positive you are happy, if they are negative, you are not. As believers we should in the pursuit of Joy and more specifically, The Joy Of The Lord, because that is our strength. (Nehemiah 8:10) People peruse money, relationships, recognition and things because they think that will make them happy, but when they get all of these things, if they are gotten outside of the context of God there is still an empty void and at some point in their life it becomes very apparent. You find people in these positions start to make very poor choices, choices that in some cases can prove fatal. King Solomon was the riches King that ever lived and yet when he looked at his life in the context of God he saw that all of his wealth meant nothing. Where a man’s heart is that is where his treasure is also (Matt 6:21), so if his heart is with God, then his treasure will be in context to God. If his heart is in this world, then his treasures and want for them will be directed according to what this world promotes. Parallel Principals In our industry there is the potential to make a lot of money and where there is that potential, there is also the potential to be tempted away from God because of the money. As believers we need to understand that money in of itself is not evil, however the love of money is the root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10). We should never let this business stand in the way of our worship of God (YHWH) and if we understand who he is, we would also understand that he owns everything anything: Psa 50:7 Hear, My people, and I will speak, O Israel, and I will testify against you; I am God, your God. Psa 50:8 I will not reprove you for your sacrifices; yea, your burnt offerings are continually before Me. Psa 50:9 I will take no bull out of your house, nor he-goats out of your folds. Psa 50:10 For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills If we seek God first and his righteousness, then everything will be added. So let’s put things in there right context, one with God is a majority, do not let the enemy lie to you. God wants you to do successful in all that you do, just as long as he is in it also and understand that God is enough for you to be successful in your Reliv business and he is also enough for you to be successful in LIFE!. ********************************************************* Jason Gregory Business Coach & Mentor Reliv *********************************************************
