All about me!

Nobody has fully conquered "self". In fact, most people haven’t even dealt with it at a conscious level! God doesn’t just kill you and remove self out of His way. He expects you to exercise self-control surrendering your will to Him.

Have you consciously dealt with your own selfishness? What do you do when someone comes against you? Who do you think of first? Do you consider the other person, or are you consumed in defending yourself?

Most of the time it is all about “I”, “me” and “mine”. We wanted to be treated fairly, benefit the most and get all the  best possible opportunities. The lists are endless. But if you notice, most of the time people want all the privileges at the cost of others and sometimes at the cost of paying back harshly because they think they were not fairly treated therefore want to retribute shrewdly.

People for whom the end goals is making money they choose any path that's convenient for them, either just or unjust. Bible warns it by stating, “Wealth obtained by fraud will dwindle, but whoever earns it through labor will multiple it.”. Money is not a blessing in itself; we have wrongly understood that. Many are restless even after gaining a lot. God is not a vending machine – He is Lord and King! You can’t just insert a coin, push His button, and take out whatever you want, whenever you want it. Prosperity wasn’t provided for you to consume it upon your own lust.

Your necessities are added to you as byproducts for seeking God and loving one another. If you concentrate on blessing others, you’ll be blessed in the process. Create a community where people will learn to care for each other without any selfish motives. Jesus' words are so powerful when He said this, "Love others as you love yourself". This is not a religious caption but a way of life.
