Greetings!

Tired of trying to fit into society's mold of religion? Following someone else's path to spiritual enlightenment? Efforts to do this have left most of us feeling like we are sitting alone in the dark. The Weekly Eureka invites you to flip on a light switch - ask the questions - question the answers and join others on the journey to the most important discovery of all - that of your true self.

THE ELDER BROTHER
D.E. PAULK

Let us always be self-aware or self-examining regarding the goodness and allness of God's love and power to reconcile.  For instance, in the story of the Prodigal Son - the elder brother becomes upset when his younger brother returns to the Father's house and is immediately celebrated and treated like royalty.

 

Remember what Jesus said of the Pharisees (those who believed they had to earn salvation through works): that they "stand at the door... they will not enter and will not allow others to enter."  Those who have the mission and harbor the mentality of keeping others out, never realize that they, themselves have not entered.  Furthermore, the reason many "believers" become so upset with the ideas of Ultimate Reconciliation is because they feel they are laboring in vain or that somehow someone else will receive the same reward for doing less work.

 

Be mindful of three things here: One, that in the Kingdom the "last will be first and the greatest will be a servant."  Also remember that those who come in at the "eleventh hour" receive the same reward as those who labored all day.

 

Two, try to realize that those of us who have been laboring faithfully in the field for the Father have avoided the hell that is so often the consequence of disobedience and we have bypassed many of the painful "hog pens" of life.  Most importantly, realize that we have been privileged to enjoy the Father's presence and to experience abundant life and the Kingdom of God here and now in this earthly lifetime.

 

Three, many believers adopt an exclusive mindset because they are ignorant of what the Father has already given to them! Consider the words of the Father to the elder brother: "My son," the father said. "You are always with me, and everything I have is yours." (Luke 15:31 - NIV)

 

There is no cause to be jealous or angry. Everything is already ours.  Our mentality should be a Kingdom mentality; that if we seek first the Kingdom of God, all of our needs will be met, and we will be given the Kingdom in this lifetime!
Quote of the Week

"But seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you. Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
- Luke 12:31,32

Until next week, remember... Truth is a Journey - Not a Destination!
