The people who live for themselves are focused on themselves and the things of the earth solely; what to eat, drink, wear, drive, the things that will make them happy on the earth; everything about their life is summarised on the earth.

There is no eternal deposit, there is no eternity in mind. There is nothing like when I go to heaven, this is the reward I am expecting from God because this was what I did with my life on the earth. There is nothing like that in their agenda.

You know the way an animal wakes up in the morning, look for something to eat and then it just dies suddenly and there is no consequence; that’s how this kind of people live and unfortunately, there are many in church like that.

They are not in church to work for God or to do anything; there are there for one prayer request or the other and when you say, lift up your hands and let us worship God, they are lifting up a prayer request, a picture of somebody they want prayer for. They are not interested in anything about God; it is just, “what can we get?” I was talking to some people the other day and said, when we came to the Lord in the seventies and early eighties, we didn’t know that there was a benefit in serving God.

The only thing we knew was that God created you and you must serve Him. You don’t have the right over your life. You must serve God and you must do it well so that you can go to Heaven and not hell. That I serve God I will get money out of it was not in the equation. It was later on that we discovered that you shall serve the Lord your God and He shall bless your bread and water. We didn’t know and it didn’t matter.

Today, it is that one that brought many people to church; the things that accompany the Gospel, the things that you want to get out of it. So, somebody sees a pastor and sees him driving a good car and he feels that that is what ministry is all about. He can’t get a job, so let him become a pastor. I told you the story of a “so-called pastor” before who approached a pastor in one of our locations that he wants to sell the church building.

Why? Because he got a car on credit and he couldn’t pay for the car, so he wants to sell the church building to pay for the car. Our pastor asked and said, “so, what will happen to the members?” He said, “can’t you people carry them?” That is a hireling, an armed robber. Members, human beings, he said “carry them.”

These are people who live for themselves. Eternity is not in the equation. Kingdom does not matter, investment on the other side does not matter. From almost 30 years ago, I began to calculate when I step into Heaven, the number of souls that were there before me that I led to Christ who went there ahead of me, who will come to the entrance and say; “Welcome Sir! I am here because of you.” I was a medical student then when a 74- year-old man sent his son to call me to pray for him. So, I went there and then the first thing that I did was to lead him to Christ. I preached to him and then he breathed deeply; “thank you my son for giving me the peace that I’ve never had. Thank you, I’m grateful.”

The next thing I heard, he slept overnight, he was gone. I had no cry to cry because I was excited; I was excited because he died in old age, I was excited because he was at the junction of eternity, he could have gone left and God sent me and he went right and in my heart, I said, “Lord, that is one of the first fruits that has gone ahead to wait for me.”

There are many who have nothing to look forward to, no eternity. That’s why most rich men don’t want to die because their investment is on the earth. Swiss bank and European banks have eaten a lot of our money; money of thieves who went to keep money somewhere and they tried to take it to where nobody can steal it even though they stole it themselves. These are those who live for self.

Question you will want to ask yourself; I am aware that 99 per cent of people here today, I’m not sure you are living for the devil, otherwise you will not be here. Except those that the devil sent to go and kill themselves as agents; go after that Church, go after that man to go and kill themselves.

You saw the bird that was trying to fly into the place here on Sunday. It was just flying and just dropped. No hand touched it, so stone stoned it. It came into an atmosphere, a no-fly zone. Except such, I am not sure there are people who will say I am living for the devil but the question is; are you living for God?
