WHAT MATTERS

July 13, 2014

In life, there are things that matter and there are things that don’t, and the moment a man starts focusing his attention and concentrating his energy on what doesn’t matter, he ends up as a man that doesn’t matter in life. Simply put, if it matters, it is major, and if it doesn’t, it is minor, and the moment a man keeps majoring in minor things, he ends up a minor.

In Luke 10:38-42, Jesus entered a certain village and certain woman named Martha hosted Him. Martha had a sister named Mary. The moment Jesus entered their house, Martha started running up and down preparing some delicacies that would be given to Jesus as lunch, but she realized her sister was not helping her. While trying to look for her, she found her sitting down at Jesus’ feet listening to the word of God.

She must have been very furious for her to have said to Jesus in verse 40, “Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? Bid her therefore that she help me.” She was expecting Jesus to command Mary to go help her sister but Jesus’ response must have come as a shock to her. Jesus said, “Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.” To make matters worse for Martha, the Bible never recorded it that Jesus ate the meal she was busy preparing.

Friends, most of us spend hours doing what doesn’t matter in life and we are wondering why we still don’t matter. If you sleep most of your time or spend it watching movies or chatting with people or gossiping around, instead of studying the word of God and praying and working on yourself to improve your skills, sir, you are majoring in minor things. Remember the world is waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God.

Be wise!
