Hello everyone! The Teardrop or the Ocean? Where is your focus today? Are you a follower of Jesus Christ? Is it on earthly possessions such as career, homes, cars, jobs, clothing, financial success and so much more? Worldly living is the focus on the Teardrop. Is it living a holy and righteous life?

“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” Colossians 3:1-2 KJV
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3 KJV
The Teardrop or the Ocean: Deception
I have heard Spiritual leaders tell the people that God wants them to enjoy nice things here on earth. They encourage higher education as a means to get a higher paying job. They emphasize purchasing a home, having nice cars and clothing. Telling the people there is nothing wrong with desiring these things. God wants them to have nice things and a prosperous life.
There are followers of Jesus Christ who focus on purchasing a home. What if God calls you to Evangelism? And wants you to travel all around the world? You’ve made a 20-30 year commitment on a mortgage! That commitment can restrict your ministry and work for God. Doing God’s will is your sole purpose in life! Pleasing God is most important. No man can tell you what your life aspirations should be but God can and will. If you don’t know, all you have to do is ask Him!
My friends this life on earth is short, we are here to live for God. This is the Whole Duty of Man, to fear God and keep his commandments! This life on earth isn’t about pleasing you! Earthly life is temporal but once we exit this flesh body suit your souls eternal life begins because you will no longer have a choice. What is your eternal destination? Your life here on earth decides your souls eternal destination, you still have a choice. The Teardrop or the Ocean.
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 KJV
“Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.” Ecclesiastes 12:13 KJV
Choose the Ocean
The Teardrop or the Ocean. This earthly life is like a Teardrop and eternal life is like the Ocean in comparison. What will you focus on? The Teardrop or the Ocean? Let God be Glorified in your Life! Follow Jesus Christ! Choose the Ocean my friends, choose the ocean!
God Will Take Care of You
“And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. 24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? 25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? 26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Luke 12:22-32 KJV
