The world where Man fell into after the disobedience in Eden is one driven by ambitions in vanities and reason Man was subjected to work hard before he/she can survive and live comfortably. Education was designed to make Man have an ambition so he/she can work to gain vanities for survival and comfortable life.
The rich young ruler in Luke 18 went to Jesus as someone in hot pursuit of eternal ambition but by the time he left his hot pursuit of eternal ambition was dampened by his vanities ambitions and Jesus passed a word of knowledge to everyone from his action; Luke 18: 22-27:" How difficult is it for the rich to enter heaven and salvation is only possible with God".(paraphrased).
So are lots of Christians today whose eternal ambition had been dampened by their vanities ambitions. They are ambitious to be the best in business, professions, talents etc but not ambitious to be the best in telling others about Christ, loving the unloving, rejoicing in challenges, etc to save the lost souls. The lost can not save the lost, only the saved can save the lost. So if your lifestyle as a whole is not preaching the gospel of love , peace and joy in words and deeds, then you are a lost soul that is close to entering heaven but never did like the foolish virgins who also dampened their eternal ambition through their vanities ambitions.
Matthew 16:6-12. Jesus warned the disciples to be careful of the leaven/doctrines/teachings of the Pharisees .He is still warning you of the dampened or leavened or diluted gospel of General Overseers , Arc- Bishops, Apostles and whatever titles that are in use.
*Leaven means to make a situation more interesting or cheerful.* Are most of the custodial of gospel not leavening the gospel with vanities ambitions?
Peter and Paul also warned you not to be entangled with vanities ambitions so you can remain sharp as a soldier in your eternal ambition. 2 Peter 2:20, Galatians 5:1 and 2 Timothy 2:4.
With God all things are possible, so it is possible for your eternal ambition not to be dampened by vanities ambitions.
Those celebrating Jesus are losing focus of all vanities ambitions daily.

Daily Prayer point: Holy Spirit cleanse me from all evil spirits of love for the world that is making me to lose focus of eternal ambition gradually.

Live a spiritually blessed week.
Good morning.
