Why are most Christians consumed with achieving material things?
I realize that when one comes close to Christ, he/she receives a certain revelation of Christ which is uncontainable. We would wish we will have more time, energy and wealth to help facilitate the propagation of the message of the cross which brings transformation.
We all wish we have adequate resources to help cater for our daily needs so we can focus on building a lasting kingdom of God.
God has laid on some people's heart to bring hope to the orphans and street children but this can't be done without physical resources. Though God promises to help and send helpers our way, but must we go through ordeals just to give hope to people?.
One main reason why God blesses us is so that we can be a blessing to others. We are whatever we are so we can be embodiment of inspiration and example to others. We are to be a sign to those who do not believe. But how can these things be, when we can't seem to have enough for ourselves, let alone others.
What will I achieve if I gain the whole world and make no impact. My righteousness is not for me alone. My integrity and honesty is to bring hope and life to the hopeless..I can't just sit there when people are dying without hope and living without faith...dream shattered...why can't God just meet all my needs so I won't spend all my time chasing things that won't last...I want to spend my life building things that have eternal value...hope, joy, peace, love...
Most Christians are so crazy about making money and it's relatives...we need the money, we need the materials... But how do we get them..without being distracted...this is a pain in my heart...
