Work For the Right Reasons

Know your priorities

Read: Matthew 6 : 19 -24

"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."

Build the right foundations

We are all building something in our lives. Either by accident or design, we are headed towards a life we choose to have. Who we are today is a result of what we did yesterday, and who we want to be tomorrow would be the result of what we do today.

The Rewards in Praying Right

God knows what we need

Read: Matthew 6 : 7 - 18

"But when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard fort heir many words.  Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need or before you ask Him."

The Model Prayer

Is there an exact way we should pray? Is there a prayer that acts like a magic word? Jesus have clearly illustrated to us what manner we should pray, He told us to pray like the way He have modeled, but He did not told us to pray the prayer He have said.

He wanted us to understand the perspective, the priority and the content on what our prayer should have. There are benefits and rewards of praying right and not saying the right prayer. What we should learn is how to pray right.

God's Secret Giver

Doing Good to Please God

Read: Matthew 6 : 1 - 6

"But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that your charitable deed  may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself reward you openly."

"But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door to pray, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."

Resolute Conviction

Adultery, Divorce and Vows

Read: Matthew 5:27-37

"You have heard the commandment that says 'you must not commit adultery.' But I say, anyone who  has even looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. So if your eye-even your good eye - causes you to lust, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your hand-even your stronger hand-causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.
