Work for the right reason

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.

Rewards of Praying

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.

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."

God's Salt and Light

We are to do good to other people because as God's salt and light to the darkened world, we must illuminate God's grace and mercy for people to see, but in the same manner, when we do good things to other people we must not do them with a desire to be seen and admired, we are to do these things in private. Because God who sees what we do in private, sees and knows what we do and will reward us accordingly.
