Creating a servant and dare we call it “slave” mentality as often referred to by Paul, is counterculture. We live in the “it’s all about me” marketplace where selfies flood our “idolbooks”. We worship the almighty “I” not the Almighty God. Each day we travel further up our own “idol-land” and farther away from hearts that are slaves to the King.

How do we counter our culture? It starts with our heart and our affections. We must stir our affection more for Jesus than our own reflection.

Understanding biblical prosperity requires a perspective that the world doesn’t have. It requires one to begin to look at life through the eyes of Jesus, allowing His lens to filter our world and experiences.
