Wen u make pple pay 4 spiritual services,u paint God in very bad light;u paint Him as One who demands pay 4 wat He has offered freely.Also,weneva pple 'pay' 4 d healing,baby,deliverance,promotion,etc.dey hav received,it wil erode deir need 2 b grateful nd thankful 2 God.If u go 2 a car shop nd pay 4 a car,do u continue 2 thank dem? If anytin,u wil feel dat u re doin dem a favour buying 4rm dem nd not 4rm anoda car shop.Do u knw dat wen pple re cajoled 2 'pay' 4 deir miracle,dey feel like God is either indebted 2 dem or dat dere is no basis 4 Him 2 b appreciated.Moreova,it is dose who freely receive a miraculous touch of God dat wil feel indebted 2 God nd wil easily give deir lives 2 Christ.D one who has 'paid' might hardly give a thought abt yielding his or her life 2 Christ. In addition 2 dis,some pple re busy chasing afta wealth like Gehazi.It is impossible 2 chase afta two rats going in different directions.U can't catch one of dem,hw much more d two.Jesus says u cannot serve God nd mammon.In oda words,d kind of devotion,love nd commitment dat is required in serving God is also required wen dat fellow chooses 2 serve money.Howeva Proverbs 23:5 says unlike serving God,dose who pursue money should prepare 4 disappointment bcus d wealth dey re accumulating can suddenly develop wings nd take its flight.If u ask some pple wat dey re seeking afta,dey may be uncertain bt not David.Unlike his son Solomon who sought several things at d same time,David sought one thing.In Psalm 27:4 he says,"One thing hav I desired of d LORD,dat wil I seek afta;dat I may dwell in d house of d LORD all d days of my life,to behold d beauty of d LORD,nd 2 enquire in his temple". He pursued his focus nd found Him. Wat re u seeking? Wat is uppermost in ur hrt 2day? Is it God or wealth?
