Godliness with Contentment 08MAR2014
1.
No Goal But
Godliness: âGodliness with Contentmentâ I Timothy 6:6-10 ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
2.
Proposition The secret of
contentment is to focus on Christ and to seek first the kingdom of God and all else God will take of them. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
3.
The song by
U2 âI still havenât found what Iâm looking forâ Bono the lead singer of U2 is singing the words, âI have climbed the highest mountains. I have run through the fields. I run, I have crawled. I have scaled the cities walls. But I still havenât found what Iâm looking for.â ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
4.
I think that
song more than almost any other, describes our culture today. How many people are searching, running, scaling, looking for something but not finding it. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
5.
I still havenât
found what Iâm looking for. And, unfortunately, many people think they are going to find it in the accumulation of things. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
6.
It is the
love of money, devotion to getting more and more money that is the root of all kinds of evil. Paul is saying that the drive to get rich is a source of all kinds of evil behavior and it leads to many griefs. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
7.
Half of Jesus
teachings deal with our attitude towards money and possessions. Jesus knows that Godâs greatest rival for our hearts would not be Satan, but it would be money. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
8.
Thatâs why Luke
16: 13 says, âNo servant can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.â ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
9.
With this in
mind, letâs look at how we can keep money in its right perspective, and it doesnât matter if we are rich or poor, we all need to hear Godâs teaching on this. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
10.
We need to
learn to be content with what we have right now. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
11.
v.6-8 âBut godliness
with contentment is a great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that.â ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
12.
The word âcontentmentâ
refers to feeling satisfied with what you have in life. Contentment is not simply giving up and saying, âwell, I guess this is my lot in life.â Contentment goes much deeper, and itâs more positive than mere surrender to fate. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
13.
Contentment is not
an obsession about having more, but being secured in what you have today, even if not everything is yours. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
14.
I think, thatâs
important for us to learn because we have this epidemic of discontent today. We are satisfied with our salary, until a friend tells us they got a raise, and all of a sudden what once was enough is not enough. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
15.
Everywhere you turn,
people are discontent with something in their lives. And, itâs an idea that is perpetrated by media: Television, magazines through commercial advertisements. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
16.
Women are satisfied
with their looks and figures until they see a fitness model saying only 20 minutes a day and you will look like me. We are satisfied with our gadgets until we see a new advertisement telling us all the features and the technology. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
17.
But the problem
is, we are always being told that if we can just get a little more, then, we would be satisfied. Then we will be content. But that line of contentment is always rolling so we are never content, we are never satisfied, we are never happy. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
18.
In fact, money
does not solve our problem of contentment. Eccl. 5:10 says, âWhoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless.â ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
19.
A billionaire made
a remark how depressed he was with his income, âI have billion dollars, bur Bill Gates has 10 billion dollars.â And that is the trap of the love of money has, you can never have enough of it, you can never be truly content. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
20.
So, how can
we learn to be content? Paul gives us some reasons why we should be content and how to bring it about? Remember, Paul was the man who wrote that he knew what it meant to be content, whether he had riches or poverty. So what are the reasons: ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
21.
1. Godliness with
contentment brings great gain There were false teachers who were teaching that faith was a means of prosperity. The so called âprosperity gospelâ is the same today. People who view Christianity in that way miss the whole point and they end up in discontentment with what they have. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
22.
But if you
have godliness (to be like God and be like Christ) with contentment you are at peace. You are no longer running the rat race and being enslaved to the ways of this world. So, it is a great gain. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
23.
2. We brought
nothing into this world. We didnât come into this world as the owner of anything, we came into this world poor and naked, and whatever we have received, we had received it from someone else. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
24.
And that someone
else came into this world the same way we did. So, eventually we realize that everything in this world belongs to its original owner, and, that is God. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
25.
Everything we have,
we have because of Godâs generosity. However, it is by no means diminishes our efforts and hard work, but it means that God is the owner of all things and we are simply managers of His property. What we have are gifts from God and therefore we should be content. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
26.
Remember, we came
into this world owning nothing, it all belongs to God who gives us all these things for our enjoyment. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
27.
3. We will
leave this world emptyhanded. Many of us today are so engrossed with obtaining, accumulating treasures, money in this world to the point of neglecting the things that really matter. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
28.
We sacrifice our
family, we sacrifice our time for our faith to grow all to get more money to buy more things, and for what? Knowing that one day, they may be taken away from us or we will leave them behind. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
29.
How empty we
will feel if we stand before God someday if our preoccupation throughout our lifetime has been on material things. Suddenly, all the wealth we have accumulated would not matter in eternity. We have to leave them behind. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
30.
What will matter
will be whether or not we were honest, compassionate, and generous with what God has given us. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
31.
Matthew 6:19-21 âDo
not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.â ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
32.
So, how can
we ensure that our hearts are in the right place? ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
33.
A) Examine your
life to see what is important to you. Where is most of your time spent trying to accomplish? Do you place other things before your time with God and His people? ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
34.
J.C. Penny, a
very successful businessman once said, âIf any man is so busy that he canât attend church on Sunday morning, Sunday evening, and Wednesday evening, then perhaps that person has more work that God intended them to have.â Whatâs important to you? ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
35.
B) Learn to
control your money instead of having it control you. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
36.
This means that
we will have to live within our means. We should not be a one day millionaire. We should live within what we have and learn to discriminate between our wants and our needs. We need to have a plan for our money. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
37.
C.) Invest in
your faith first and foremost. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
38.
There is a
story of a preacher who went to visit a wealthy farmer who was a non-Christian. The farmer drove and they were out of the middle of his property. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
39.
As they stood
there the farmer declared, âas far as you can see in that direction to the west, I own it, and as far as you can see to the east, that too, is mine. He pointed to the other directions and arrogantly said, âas far as you can see to the north and south, they all belong to me. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
40.
Now, the preacher
pointed up towards heaven and asked, âHow much do you own in that direction?â ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
41.
Conclusion Everything around us
teaches us to believe in accumulating material things because we have an obsessive compulsion to possess more and more things, thinking they will bring satisfaction in our lives. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
42.
We have the
unquenchable craving for more, or to grasp for more and more (tukolike) that brings about a lack of contentment. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
43.
The drive to
accumulate more and more damages our priorities and relationships. Our priorities are twisted and we will fall into many traps. We run after the wrong things and stop on pursuing matters of God. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
44.
Depression is so
much more common today and people are so focused on getting what they want that it leads to unhappiness and un-fulfillment. The more we have the more we want and the more unhappy we become. The pursuit of things at all costs, causes much grief. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
45.
Do we want
contentment in our life? Do we want peace? There is ultimately only one way to true contentment and peace, and that is to walk daily with the prince of peace, Christ Jesus. And I invite you to take that walk today. ©Good News Community Fellowship; Marikina City, Philippines
