Christian Living
Secret Agenda
We are living in a generation of magnification, everything seems larger than life. Neon signs litter the midnight skies. At the fast food restaurants you can super size any meal. And on the internet you can promote anything from porn to religion. At election time, the politicians magnify themselves by trashing their opponents, not by running on their good names. We are living in a society filled with self promoters, with secret agendas, seeking only personal gain.
Egos have swollen, and pride is leading us down a destructive path. People are no longer satisfied with their possessions, and they are chasing after the riches of the world. They want more money, more homes, and more recognition. We are magnifying things that won’t last.
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matt 6:19-21) NIV
John proclaimed that “He must become greater; I must become less” (Jn 3:30) NIV
I am a recovering self promoter, and at times I still stumble. Becoming less is hard for us. Our bodies are constantly telling us when we’re hungry, when we need attention. The flesh wants to shine and be at the center of attention. To be less, is to wage war against ourselves. Pride is the heart beat of the flesh, and until we lay it to rest, the battle will never end.
The world is growing larger and the flesh is getting hungrier. We are living in the generation of magnification. Not the worlds or the fleshes, but in the exaltation of God. We will see His wonders in the heavens and on earth in these last days. 9-11 will seem like a mosquito bite compared to what is coming. He will humble His creation! Where have you stored up your riches? Who have you exalted? Whose agenda did you follow? Will they testify for you or against you?
