Who Do You Really Serve?


 
Scripture: Luke 20 v 25

"And He said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's and unto God the things which be Gods."

- Jesus is telling us there are Two Kingdoms with two different Heads. The one is the true Kingdom of God but Caesar represents the counterfeit kingdom of satan.

- God's Kingdom is full of love for His people and rejection of evil. Satan's Kingdom is controlled by lust and love of money.   We must choose which kingdom we will belong to. And these days the lines are very blurred.

- Christians journey through this world as tourists from another place. The power of the world is observed but shunned. We are a New Creation from heaven and should no longer consider ourselves "only human" which is a cop out.

- The World system is controlled by Satan from Hollywood to ISIS and everything in between. Drugs, booze, parties, entertainment, religions, perversions,  celebs, sports and fads are its posters for fun and excitement. Trying to live in both kingdoms is impossible.

- Make your choice and run with it, but know the final destination of each kingdom is totally different. The narrow way leads to life, the broad way leads to destruction. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no-one comes to the Father except through Him.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, we choose You and Your kingdom over all the kingdoms of this world. We want to live forever with You. We shun this evil world and all its temptations to sin. Help us share Your truth with those who have lost their way. Amen.
