I wanted to share some thoughts with you today about the dangers of living for yourself. I posted the following snipets on my Twitter account over the past few days. You can follow me on Twitter. Just sign up and search for me using: EricHixon
I would really like to get your comments on the dangers of building a Kingdom of Self. Here are my thoughts over the last couple of days.
If you are building your Kingdom, it's a fake empire. It will not last. We are to be about God's work, God's way, for God's glory!
When you are the king of your world, your all dressed up but have nowhere to go except to your just end. Hell. The wide road's final stop.
Your kingdom will never satisfy the soul. It leaves you empty, alone, and ashamed. Christ alone satisfies your soul and gives you victory.
An Apostate is about what his leadership role will get him. The goal for God's child is to glorify the Father and enjoy Him forever.
If not for God's grace we'd still be crying brats, demanding or manipulating to get our own way. Only Christ gives hope to escape our self.
God's love for us is what shapes our life. If it is the love of others that shape your life....your doomed.
God's grace lets us see that we are in need. We need Divine intervention or we will be trapped by wanting to please our self.
The kingdom of self is a camouflaged kingdom that only looks real on the outside. Inside it is full of lies and deception.
There is security in the midst of conflict for God's children. We've moved out of kingdom of self to a safe haven. The Kingdom of God.
When you're the king of your life, you think you'll live forever and you live for you. A child of God lives for Christ...their reward.
