Message summary & scripture references

On a regular basis, most of us face the “success dilemma,” which is choosing between following our calling from God or doing something else “we think” will make more money. I know I do. However, this success dilemma is a trick of Satan to get us out of the will of God. But the truth is if we simply stick to our calling, we will be in God’s will and achieve financial success.

Luke 4:5-8 KJV

[5] And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
[6] And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
[7] If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
[8] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Hebrews 4:15 KJV

[15] For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

John 12:42-43 KJV

[42] Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him , lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
[43] For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

John 15:19 KJV

[19] If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Matthew 6:24,33 KJV

[24] No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
[33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
