WHO IS YOUR MASTER?

There are two great powers on this Earth:

#1. God.  #2. Satan.

These two powers are trying to control your soul. We are born a sinner. We inherit the desire to sin, and we do it from a very early age (Ps.51:5; Is.48:8). We are the devil’s children UNTIL we turn to Christ by faith, and accept Him as our Saviour and Lord.

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. (KJV)

Jesus plainly tells us we can have ONLY ONE master. We live in a materialistic society, and MANY people serve money. This is choosing the devil as your master, for there are only two --- the other being God. People spend all their lives stockpiling money and possessions, only to die and leave it behind. Their desire for money and what it can do for them comes before God and spiritual matters. Whatever you store up, you will spend much of your time and energy thinking about. Don’t fall into the materialistic trap, because "the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Tim. 6:10). Can you honestly say that God, and not money, is your master? Ask yourself: "Which one occupies more of my thoughts, time, and efforts?"

Jesus contrasted heavenly values with earthly values when He told us our first loyalty should be to those things that do not fade, cannot be stolen or used up, and never wear out. We should not be spellbound with our possessions, lest they possess us. Are your possessions becoming too important to you? A decision for Jesus and spiritual things a decision that allows us to live contentedly with whatever we have because we have chosen what is true and eternal.

Romans 6:16-18 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? [17] But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. [18] Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. (KJV)

The lust for money and possessions comes from the devil. Money has great power and can take God’s place in your life IF you let it. It can become your master (Satan). Are you are a slave to money?

(1) Do you think and worry about money often?

(2) Do you give up doing what you should do in order to make more money?

(3) Do you spend a much time caring for your possessions?

(4) Is it hard for you to give money away?

(5) Are you deep in debt? Money is a hard master and a deceptive one. Wealth promises power and control, but most often it cannot deliver. Great fortunes can be made and lost, overnight. No amount of money can provide health, happiness, or eternal life. It is much better to let God be your Master. Anyone who serves Him have peace of mind and contentment, both here on Earth and forever.

No one can serve, meaning to belong to completely, and be totally under control of two masters. He will hate the one, and love the other. We cannot be servant to more than one master. The interests of the masters are quite different, and very conflicting. As we serve the one, we love him, thereby hating the other. We cannot serve God and mammon. The word "mammon" simply means what we trust in. Wealth, riches, and possessions is like an idol master. It is the god of the heart. To serve this god and the true God together is impossible. Matthew 6:19-21 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: [20] But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: [21] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. [KJV]

When you allow Satan to be your master, you love the world and the temporary things it. It can give you is a common and fatal symptom --- that of hypocrisy. By this sin Satan has a sure grip on your soul. Jesus counsels us and wants us to make our best things in this life the joys and glories of the other world. Those eternal things not seen are what we should place our joy and happiness in. The eternal, bountiful treasures in Heaven are yours IF you choose God as your Master. It is pure wisdom on our part to give all diligence to make eternal life sure through Jesus Christ. We should look on ALL things here below, as not worthy to be compared with Jesus and the eternal life in Heaven He offers to us. We should find contentment with this and nothing short of it.

The two masters violently oppose each other, and NO one can serve them both. God demands our total commitment to Him and our total input, and so does Satan. We must choose . . . one or the other. He who holds to the world and loves it, actually despises God; and he who loves God, must actually hate Satan and give up the friendship of the world.
