THE SELFISH HEART
What does it mean to be selfish?
To be selfish is to hold one's own self-interest as the standard for decision. It is to have regard for oneself above others’ well-being.
What are the dangers of being selfish?
1st danger : God never hears and never answers selfish motivated prayers
James 4:3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume [it] upon your lusts.2nd danger : A selfish might smile but he will never be happy. He might be rich but he will never prosper. He might have but he will never enjoy.
Why ? Because the selfish struggles to give and when he gives, his motives are never right. Considering the fact that there is hapiness, prosperity and enjoyment only in giving not in receiving, to be selfish is no more no less than to be miserable.
1 Corinthians 13:3 (KJV) And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
3rd danger : Because a selfish is a miserable man, he will always make sure to make others’ life miserable
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves" (2 Timothy 3:1-2)
= PRAYER = PRAYER = PRAYER = PRAYER
PRAYER | SELFISHNESS IS A SIN AND A CURSE. AS A SIN, IT HINDERS THE ANSWER TO YOUR PRAYERS AND AS A CURSE, IT CLOSES YOUR HEAVEN.
REPENT BEFORE THE LORD AND PRAY THE FATHER TO FORGIVE YOU AND DELIVER YOU FROM THAT EVIL SPIRIT.
PRAY WITH 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
SO SHALL IT BE.
