People are selfish... including probably many or most believers. They consider my inheritance, my salvation and my unending life and my blessings first... Wrong priorities!Absolutely!
We have a lot of focus on People...what their reward is for being a Member in Christ's Church...
But the Other Side is... what God Gets???
Every man IN Christ IS;
Gods Inheritance.
I don't know one person who would want to miss out on his own inheritance.
Pretty Confidant...God desires All men to be His Inheritance...Sad, I think that will not be the case.
People are selfish... including probably many or most believers. They consider my inheritance, my salvation and my unending life and my blessings first... Wrong priorities!
"Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness..." If we do this God may indeed reward us but anyone seek to receive the rewards and/or to avoid the punishments/curses/chastisements first is confused in how he sets his priorities.
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints." I Cor 14:33
It's an odd thing upfront...
But it is Spiritual and Natural concepts to consider oneself first.
God definitely considers Himself First and Above All.
Men definitely do the same.
Digging deeper-
What exactly WILL any...God or man DO to prove himself WORTHY to BE Considered FIRST?
Men, set crowns on their heads, deserving because they declare their bloodline Nobel.
Men compete in Contests, and are accounted First by a race or score finish.
Some men participate in a gang of men against one man, and declare themselves First.
FEW men, literally give their own life for another to Live.
God, the infinite God Almighty, Prepared a Body in the "Likeness as a man, For His Word to be Slain by men...Expressly to Show men...No matter...
Satan, a spirit who had slain the Word of God (before mankind was created)...
And mankind, who has slain the Word of God on numerous occasions...
• Every lie against Gods Word...Is a killing of God Word
• The Word of God SHALL NEVER be Overcome with a permanent Death.
pss 119:
[89] For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
1 Peter 1:
[25] But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.
Yes our Lord God Almighty's Word is First, Above, Everlasting.
And WHEN a man puts Gods Word in his own mouth....that is a man who is on the path of learning to be "in Gods LIKENESS"
God Bless,

"Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father." John 10:17-18
Thank you April_Rose. Your compassion is heartwarming and appreciated.
Praying our Father will touch her body and make it whole again....also praying that He will give her an increase of faith to believe for her healing....BECKY- is my niece.
She was diagnosed in her teens with LUPUS.
AND has for years had one health issue affecting another part of her body causing new health issues.
Treatments have routinely been treating Symptoms for stabilizing her strength of Symptoms, for Doctors to address the Underlying New Issue.
The most current events in the last several weeks is a Large blood clot near her heart in the Vein that returns Blood to the heart.
•Surgery was attempted several weeks ago. The Vein became ruptured.
•Surgery stopped.
•Sent home.
•Waiting for rupture to heal.
•Coordinating, Doctors for Team to conduct another surgery attempt.
•While Waiting.
•Another Vein rupture in brain.
•Stroke, hospitalized.
•In hospital for weeks, Treating Pain, monitoring.
•Treated with blood thinners.
•Doctor team organized.
•Surgery, Yesterday.
•Routing Vein in Groin to heart, Removed Blood Clot...Stent
•3 AM, blood pressure crashed 50/0.
•2 units of blood.
•MRI to find this new internal bleed.
•locate bleed VIA MRI, near intestinal gut.
•Emergency Surgery ...Presently (Wed ), NOT out of Surgery Yet.
• Concern...Already in weakened state.
• Veins notably compromised, having had Blood Thinning Treatmens, now potiental more complications.
It's been one issue after another, immediate treatment of Symptoms;
(Severe headaches, Bones deteriorating literally crumbling, severe joint pains, lost sight for days, heart has stopped, shocked to start, unstable blood pressure, immune system compromised, multiple surgeries, in wheelchair for a year, exhaustion) ...
And always (catch 22) for the Symptoms to stabilize to treat the Underlying Issue, when the Symptom treatments, compromise treating the Underlying Issue treatment.
She has been on that rollercoaster for years, but you would never know BY her demeanor and cheerful pleasantness...that she is in constant agony.
She is a believer, but has been prevented from having visitors, a prayer circle with and for her.
• Please consider Praying for Gods Touch of Comfort and Miracle Healing Power for Becky.
Thank you kindly.
