Don't Weigh Your Achievement With Worldly Standard Part 1

Do not love the world nor the things in the world if anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 1 john 2:15.

Jesus specifically warn the disciples about loving the world, the things and ways of the world.

The world have its own measure for achievement, there is what is called worldly standard. 

This is their pursuit for life, the criteria to determine their happiness and success.

It will never meet up with Godly standard.

This is one of the ways the devil is using to trap believers in this last days, by making them to use worldly scales to calculate there achevement, they use this to determine  their success in businesses, marriages, carriers etc.

The devil has succeeded by using the worldly pattern to determine what Christians now define as success.

 1 sam. 8:5, the people of God required for a king to rule over them, not because God told them to do so, but because they want to be in uniform with the other nations of the world.

God was ruling over them himself in his sovereignity and also reaching to the people through his servant. 

But they required for a human king to be equal to the pattern of other nations of the world.

Note this: Each time you want to measure up to the standard of the world. You measure down God's standard.

God was ruling them in his supremacy but they wanted to be ruled by the world standard.

I have met several believers who's conversation is all about money, all they pray about is money, all they think about is money.

Then I wonder what is the different between them and the people of the world because this are the things they leave for.

Some measure themselves with the achievement of their ungodly friends, financially, academically, maritally and other wise.

He that compare himself with another is a fool says the Bible.

Many married believers are using the world pattern in their marriages and neglecting the law of God for marriage. 

No wonder there are broken homes among the people of God, and faulty marriages.

Even some church of God are now conforming to the pattern of the world, by becoming as entertaining as possible to suit the world standard, by bending and feeding the sheep with unhealthy and unbalanced diet of the word, to be accepted by the world.

Love not the world neither the thing that are in the world(that is love not the way the world determine and achieve there things). 

Turn to God today, make His word the standard for your life and let the holy Spirit be your guide and you will have joy, joy unspeakable.
