🕊️ LUST MAKES PEOPLE LOST — LIVE FOR ETERNITY, NOT VANITY 🕊️

By Pastor Michael Abu. 

In this world of chasing pleasures, titles, and treasures, many have lost their souls in pursuit of things that don’t last. Lust is a trap — it blinds, it binds, and ultimately leads to loss.

“For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.”
— 1 John 2:16

Be careful what you lust after — that desire may cost you eternity.

💡 True Fulfillment Is Not in Possessions — But in Purpose

A billionaire once shocked the world during an interview. Asked about his greatest joy in life — he didn’t mention cars, houses, or businesses. Instead, he spoke about a birthday he spent at a home for the disabled.

He bought them wheelchairs. A little child tugged at his cloth and said:

“I want to see the face of the one who put a smile on our faces so that when I get to heaven, I can recognize you.”

That moment, not his billions, gave him true joy.

🌍 It’s not about how much you have acquired,
But how many people have been lifted through you.
Not about your personal elevation,
But how many you helped escape poverty and sorrow.

“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth... but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
— Matthew 6:19-21

“He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given.”
— Proverbs 19:17

God is not impressed by your luxury — He’s moved by your compassion.

🎯 What will heaven remember you for?
🎯 Who will recognize your face in eternity because you put a smile on theirs here on earth?
🎯 Will your wealth follow you, or will your works speak for you?

“What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?”
— Mark 8:36

🔥 Let this be your daily reminder:

✅ Lust leads to eternal loss
✅ Love leads to eternal life
✅ Live to be remembered in heaven, not just on earth

“Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share...”
— 1 Timothy 6:18

 

🕊️ Live with eternity in mind. Be the reason someone smiles, not the reason someone stumbles.
