Is your J.O.B. your god?
Welcome. Let us pray.
"Heavenly Father, Lord God, all the praise and glory be to You. As we come before You today, we pray that You give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and a spirit to receive Your Truth and Your Revelation. May Your Word feed our spirit as the food You so abundantly bless us with feeds our bodies. We ask this in Your holy name, Amen!"
Let’s get a bit real here. God did not create money. God has no use for it. We did. Money and wealth are man-made concepts. We chose to say that this piece of paper is worth one dollar or a hundred dollars. We chose to say that this shiny rock is worth all this money. Imagine God, looking down from Heaven, when He sees someone open an Oyster's Shell and see a spitball, and call it a pearl, and say, "This is valuable." It's foolishness.
However, it is the system we created. It is a system we must live in. It is the system that can and does lead some to an early grave. They work themselves to death. Some are very successful, out there doing what they do, and then they come home and wonder, "Where did the Kids go?" Well, they graduated and are out on their own. Sorry, you missed them growing up. Got to make that money.
Here is something someone needs to get. Proverbs 23:4 says this.
God does not want you to worry. Yeshua taught us this fact, that as a child of God, you should not only have no fear of these things but take no thought of them at all. If we, as children of God, put our trust in Him, He is faithful and just, to meet our every need. In Luke 12:15
Really? Have you not heard?
You will forget, or have no time for the “Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it, thou shalt still work. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.” But you will say to yourself, "No big deal. I have to work. Gotta make that Money."
24/7. Work days, nights, weekends. Whatever. Gotta make that money. Sick? Go anyway. Gotta make that money. Kids, no matter. Daycare if needed. Gotta make that money.
You know that whatever you do, in the end, it's just a Job. Are you a famous actor? Musician? Sports star? Do you know what happens when you become too old to keep doing what you are doing? Someone else steps up and takes your place. All those people who used to chant your name now chant someone else's. All those people who used to follow you around now follow someone else. That movie you did, that was the number-one movie in history? Has been replaced with the next number-one movie in history. That position you had in the company? Smith and Walls? Someone else sits in your seat now. So on and so forth. It was all just a Job.
God is there. He is always there. He is and wants to be your Abba Father. He will never leave nor forsake you. You are and will always be His child. He must come first. Jesus came right out and told us, you cannot love both, Money and God.
Romans 8:28
Of all the things that we can and will be talking about being temporal, your job should be at the bottom of your list of things to worry about.
Are you His child? Are you sure? If not, say this prayer. Right now. Wherever you may be, say it in your own words, and do not doubt in your heart. God will hear you. He will send the Spirit of Life to you. Let us pray.
"Oh, heavenly Father, Lord God. I am a sinner. I know this. I know there is nothing I can do to change that. But I know you can. I accept Yeshua's sacrifice for me. I believed He rose from the dead. I repent of my sins. Please send the Spirit of Adoption into my life. Help me to get to know the real you. Save me. Please. In the name of Yeshua, Amen!"
That's it. It is that simple. Now tell someone what you have just done. "That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Yeshua, and shalt believe in your heart that God hath raised him from the dead, You shall be saved." Romans 10:9. You need to find a Church that God leads you to and be baptized the way Jesus said to be. You are now a Child of God. A New Creature. You "have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him."Colossians 3:10

May the comfort of the Holy Ghost and the peace of our Lord Yeshua be with you all. May God bless and be with you always.
Until next time, be blessed, be a blessing, and Yeshua is Lord!
Is your J.O.B. your god? I'm seriously asking you. Is your job your god? Ridiculous, you say? Are you sure? Think about it.
We spend most of our awake time at our jobs. We do things that we would never do for our jobs. Our Jobs pay us money, that?
Pays our bills, and gives us a roof over our heads. Food on the table. Clothes on our bodies. Electricity. Vehicle to come and go. Entertainment. We rely on our jobs to meet our needs. It used to be mostly men who would work 9-5 Monday through Friday. They would go out and do whatever it was that would supply them with the money to live. The wife and mother would stay home to raise the children.

It used to be mostly men who would work 9-5 Monday through Friday. They would go out and do whatever it was that would supply them with the money to live. The wife and mother would stay home to raise the children.
Then, after Dad got home, they would all sit around the table and have dinner. Talking and sharing their day's events. Then came the weekends, when they would spend time as a family. Today, sadly, most of the time, both the man and the woman are out working 24/7. Working 9-5 is nearly all but gone. Weekends off? Rare. Got to make that money.
Let’s get a bit real here. God did not create money. God has no use for it. We did. Money and wealth are man-made concepts. We chose to say that this piece of paper is worth one dollar or a hundred dollars. We chose to say that this shiny rock is worth all this money.

Got to make that money.
Here is something someone needs to get. Proverbs 23:4 says this.
"Do not overwork to be rich; Because of your own understanding, cease!"When you drive your body, 24/7, you deprive it of sleep, food, and even simple rest. Eventually, it will give out. He who dies with the most toys wins? Got to make that money.
God does not want you to worry. Yeshua taught us this fact, that as a child of God, you should not only have no fear of these things but take no thought of them at all. If we, as children of God, put our trust in Him, He is faithful and just, to meet our every need. In Luke 12:15
"And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth."Then He tells us this.
"The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothe the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.Where is your faith? Is your faith in God? To be faithful and true to His Word that HE will meet your needs? Or is your faith in yourself, and your Job, to meet your needs? Where is your faith, child of God? Is it our Abba Father, or is it {Incert job company and title here}?
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye require these things. But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you." Luke 12:23-30
"But you don't understand. I do not want to drive that. I do not want to live there. I want MORE. So much more. I got to do whatever I got to do to make more money."
Really? Have you not heard?
"But godliness with contentment is great gain, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs." 1 Timothy 6:6-10Many people have come to treat money as their god. Banks have transformed into places of worship, and financial advisers have become evangelists. Individuals often bow before the altar of the stock market. The love of money can lead one to violate the other commandments.
You will forget, or have no time for the “Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it, thou shalt still work. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.” But you will say to yourself, "No big deal. I have to work. Gotta make that Money."

God is there. He is always there. He is and wants to be your Abba Father. He will never leave nor forsake you. You are and will always be His child. He must come first. Jesus came right out and told us, you cannot love both, Money and God.
"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other, or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon." Matthew 6:24So who cares if you lose your earthly worldly Job? God will meet your needs far more than you will on your own, relying on that job. If you lose that Job today?
Romans 8:28
“And we know that for those who love God, all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28He will help you find a better opportunity. You may not hear this often, but you might not have been in the job that God intended for you. It doesn’t matter if you thought it was the best job in the world; God had a reason for wanting you somewhere else. Trust in Him.
"In God is my salvation and my glory; the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God." Psalm 62:7Do not place your job on the same level as God. When you truly begin to understand and trust what Yeshua tells us, you will find peace.
“But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.”You will experience far less fear and anxiety when you realize that your employment does not depend on a person or corporation, but rather on God Himself. You can rest assured knowing He is in charge and will meet your daily needs.
Of all the things that we can and will be talking about being temporal, your job should be at the bottom of your list of things to worry about.
Are you His child? Are you sure? If not, say this prayer. Right now. Wherever you may be, say it in your own words, and do not doubt in your heart. God will hear you. He will send the Spirit of Life to you. Let us pray.
