WHERE DO YOU BELONG?

Tabugbo Morgan Uzoma & Prisca Chimdifu Uzoma assert in their devotional (My Daily Covenant with God) of today, January 7, 2016 that "Some people place their happiness in the wealth and honours of this world. Their portion is in this life; they look no further; they desire no more; these are their good things (Luke 16:25). However, a godly man takes the Lord for the portion of his inheritance and his cup, and nothing less will satisfy him." This was the position of David, the Psalmist as he states that God is his portion (Psalm 119:57).

Every Christian should have the understanding of what Christian faith entails. To every true christian, God should be the ultimate in his or her pursuit in life. A true Christian wholly depends on God for everything he or she need. He trusts in God to sustain him or her and for survival. He/she is never moved by the threatening from people. 

Today, most Christians have placed their happiness on wealth, gifts and honours of this life, and thus they pursue these worldly things vigorously at the expense of their faith. They are now consumed by the riches and affairs of this world. They no longer see themselves as pilgrims rather they have fixed their eyes on the things of the world as against the heavenly things as Apostle Paul admonished us.

Beloved, where do you belong? Do you belong to the group that have placed their happiness in wealth and honours of this life and you no longer look further or you belong to the godly people that have Lord God as your portion? To the godly, nothing else matters to him/her. Remember that where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Let your focus be in Christ alone so you can live live well and attain eternal life at the end in Jesus name.
