“Do not love the world or anything that belongs to the world. If you love the world, you do not love the Father.” — 1 John 2:15 (GNT)
When you receive Jesus into your life, one of your greatest responsibilities is to guard your love for God. This world is filled with distractions—career pursuits, wealth, and luxury—all competing for the place of God in your heart. While success and prosperity are not inherently wrong, they must never come at the expense of your relationship with Him.
Many have fallen into the trap of chasing worldly achievements so relentlessly that they drift away from God. Some become so consumed with success that they begin to see faith as unnecessary. I recently heard of a young woman who once believed in God but later renounced her faith, convinced that her material achievements made Him irrelevant. What happened? She failed to guard her heart. She allowed her love for worldly things to replace her love for God. My prayer is that she encounters God again and finds her way back.
Beloved, no matter how much success you attain, if God is not at the center, it all amounts to nothing. The Bible warns: “The world and everything in it that people desire is passing away; but those who do the will of God live forever.” — 1 John 2:17 (GNT). Did you catch that? Everything in this world is temporary, but your relationship with God is eternal. If you lose that, you lose everything.
So, make a decision today—set your heart on God. Let nothing steal your passion for Him. Guard your love for God, and you will be the one to reap the rewards in the end. Hallelujah!
