TOPIC : REAL SATISFACTION

TEXT Luke 12: 15
*Beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possess"

The pursuit of possessions continues to be the most powerful motivations that people can experience. But does the accumulation of things bring true satisfaction?
In Luke 12:15, Jesus answered that question with a firm and uncompromising "No!" During a discussion about material wealth He said "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possess". Life must always be more than just inventory of the things we own.

King Solomon also attempted to find satisfaction in TGE pursuit of things. He discovered it to be full of emptiness(Ecclesiastics 2:1-17). If we have placed the abundance of the things we possess at the centre of our lives, shopping, and our carrier may in fact, have become substitute for God, but such endeavour will always results in emptiness for He said "without me you can do nothing" (John 15:5)
David prayed, "You open your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing"(Psalm 145:16). Only God is able to bring real satisfaction to our lives

PRAYER POINT

Father, open your hand and satisfy my desires in Jesus name.
