The Bible counsels you and I, who are spiritually risen with Christ thus:
If you then be RISEN with CHRIST, seek those THINGS which are ABOVE, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
SET your AFFECTION (Love) on THINGS above, NOT on THINGS on the earth.
For you are dead and your LIFE is HID with CHRIST in God.
When Christ, who is OUR life, shall appear, then shall you also appear WITH Him in glory.
Mortify (discipline) therefore your members which are upon the Earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence and covetousness, which is idolatry.
For which things' sake the WRATH of God comes on the children of disobedience. (Colossians 3:1-6).
So,
Wisely and smartly LABOUR not for VAIN and VAGUE things of this old and passing away World, but LABOUR for GOD on things in CHRIST that will forever be to your CREDIT.
Wisely and smartly LABOUR not for VAIN and VAGUE things of this old and passing away World, but LABOUR for GOD on things in CHRIST that will last forever to your ACCOUNT.
Wisely and smartly LABOUR not for VAIN and VAGUE things of this old and passing away World, but LABOUR for GOD on things in CHRIST that will last forever to your REWARD, both on Earth now and in Heaven someday. (Luke 18:18-30; 1 Corinthians 3:6-15; 2 Timothy 4:5-8).
The Bible says that:
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be you steadfast, unmovable, ALWAYS abounding in the WORK of the LORD, forasmuch as you know that your LABOUR is not in vain IN the LORD. (1 Corinthians 15:58; Galatians 6:7-10).
Why labouring in VAIN by ignorantly and wastefully, using and spending your TIME, TALENTS and TREASURES (money, possessions, etc) on VAIN and VAGUE things of this old and passing away World? Why?
Do you not know that ALL that is in this WORLD are:
1. The Lust of the FLESH (relating to having sex, food, sleep, etc),
2. The Lust of the EYES (relating to showing of beauty, entertainment, fashion, etc),
3. The Pride of LIFE (relating to owning of possessions, fame, position, power, etc)?
ALL these will PASS AWAY some day, ONE day.
True, whether you believe it or not. GOD is not a man that He should LIE. He is not afraid of YOU or any man or woman, neither is He a respecter of YOU or any man or woman. His Word will surely COME to PASS Take note, take heed!
The Bible warns thus:
Love NOT the World, neither the THINGS that are IN the world. If any man (or woman) love the World, the love of the Father is NOT in him (or her).
For ALL that is IN the World, the LUST of the flesh, the LUST of the eyes and the PRIDE of life, is NOT of the Father, but is of the World (run by Satan, demonic spirits and demonized human beings).
And the World PASSES AWAY and the LUST thereof. But he (or she) that DOES the WILL of GOD abides forever. (1 John 2:15-17; MMatthew 7:13-27).
JESUS CHRIST counsels you and I thus:
Lay NOT up for YOURSELVES treasures upon EARTH, where moth and rust does corrupt and where thieves break through and steal.
But LAY up for YOURSELVES treasures in HEAVEN, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt and where thieves do not break through nor steal.
For where your TREASURE is, there will your HEART be also.
The LIGHT of the BODY is the EYE. If therefore thine eye be single (focusing on God and His eternal things in Christ in this World), your WHOLE body shall be FULL of LIGHT.
But if thine EYE be evil (focusing on your self and Satan and his enticing things in this World), your WHOLE body shall be FULL of DARKNESS. If therefore the light that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!
No man (or woman) can SERVE two masters. For either he (or she) will hate the one and love the other. Or else he (or she) will hold to the one and despise the other. You CANNOT serve GOD and MAMMON (money and what money can buy in this World). (Matthew 6:19-24; Colossians 4:1-4; James 1:12-15; 1 Timothy 6:6-12).
Furthermore, JESUS CHRIST timely counsels you and I thus:
Then said JESUS unto his disciples, If any man (or woman) will come after Me, let him (or her) DENY himself (or herself) and TAKE UP his (or her) cross and FOLLOW Me.
For whosoever will SAVE his (or her) life shall LOSE it. And whosoever will LOSE his (or her) life for MY SAKE shall FIND it.
For what is a man (or woman) PROFITED. If he (or she) shall GAIN the whole world and LOSE his (or her) own soul? Or what shall a man (or woman) give in EXCHANGE for his (or her) soul?
For the Son of man shall come in the glory of His Father with His angels. And then He shall REWARD every man (and woman) according to his (or her) WORKS (in this World). (Matthew 16:24-27).
Absolutely and completely NOTHING!
WHO are you LABOURING for in this old and passing away World? God or yourself? God or human?
WHAT are you LABOURING for in this old and passing away World? God's business or your own business? God's business or human's business?
If JESUS CHRIST is truly your personal Lord and Saviour cum your real ROLE MODEL on Earth, then He says that:
...How is it that ye sought Me? Do you not know that I must be ABOUT my FATHER'S BUSINESS? ( Luke 2:49; John 4:31-34; Hebrews 12:1-3).
Be wise! Be smart in this World!
Oh genuine CHILD of GOD in Christ in this World, don't be cut-up in the deceptions and illusions of this old and passing away World! Tthe END of them ALL, comes suddenly and soon. Take note, take heed!
It is very, very DANGEROUS and DISADVANTAGEOUS to be out of divine course in this last minutes of human existence in this old and passing away World. Take note, take heed! (Psalm 82:5-7).
However, if you are genuinely LABOURING passionately for the VAIN and VAGUE things of this old and passing away World because you have spiritually and physically seen their place in advancing the Kingdom of God and in fulfilling your DIVINE DESTINY (life purpose) of God in Christ on Earth, then you a wise and smart LABOURER for vain and vague things in this World. Yes, you are! (Ecclesiastes 10:19; Eccelesiates 7:12; 1 Timothy 6:6-12).
God bless you.
