Zachariah 5:1 I looked again, and there before me was a flying scroll. He asked me, \u201cWhat do you see?\u201d I answered, \u201cI see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.\u201d And he said to me, \u201cThis is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished. The Lord Almighty declares, \u2018I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Job 20:26<\/b><\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not fanned will devour him; what is left in his tent will be consumed.<\/p>\n

James 5:2-3<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten.\u00a0\u00a0Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure in the last days.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The curse of God is on all who live falsely toward God and who lay up treasures for their own gain and pleasure.\u00a0 <\/span>Do you ever wonder what a false life toward God would look like?\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cThey serve God with their mouth but not with their heart, mind, and soul.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>The work of their hands is for their own good, their own satisfaction, their own pleasure, their own gain.\u00a0 <\/span>This world is full of things that make us think that our lives and our purpose in life is about what we own, what we do, and what we accomplish in our won strength and wisdom.\u00a0 <\/span>Oh, we might give glancing words of thanks to God but in our heart, we say, \u201clook what I have accomplished\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>Our life is not to be about us and for our own glory and honor.\u00a0 <\/span>It is and should be for the honor and glory of Jesus Christ.\u00a0 <\/span>All that we are and the talents we have been given are to bring honor and glory to Him, Him alone.\u00a0 <\/span>What is the end for all of those things we worked for, for ourselves – destruction?\u00a0 <\/span>They will be burnt up like twigs thrown into a fire.\u00a0 <\/span>They will end in a puff of smoke and our life will end without purpose, without, meaning, without heavenly satisfaction, without eternity in heaven. Thinking we can fight off sinful desires of self-satisfaction, self-worth, self-glory, and honor apart from God\u2019s word and complete surrender to deny self and honor, glorify, follow, obey and trust Him are lies of our sinful nature and Satan.\u00a0 <\/span>Feed on His Word.\u00a0 <\/span>Surrender all to Him for His glory and honor. Seek to listen.\u00a0 <\/span>Desire to hear. Be willing to obey.<\/p>\n
