JUDAS LOVED MONEY THAN CHRIST

CHARACTERS AROUND THE CROSS
 JUDAS: HE LOVED MONEY MORE!

Judas Iscariot was ordained and chosen for greatness. The Bible says 'many are called few are chosen, he was honoured to be called and chosen to be one of the twelve disciples of The Christ. 

He had the rare privilege of meeting Jesus in person, he was chosen to be a part of the inner circle of Christ ( The 12 Disciples). He was at a level higher than the 72, 120, he was among the 12, two steps away from been the closest to the Christ.

 He was also the Treasurer for the ministry of The Christ; ordained for eternal excellence: 
"The wall of the City had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb." Rev 21:14.

 But offence robbed him of all these predestined glory and honour. Matthew 26:8-14, John 12:1-7

He had been stealing from the purse of the Ministry of Christ, he had access to all the money he wanted. 

 He had no excuse to betray Christ, he was the disciple in charge of the Ministry finances and no one knew he was stealing money from the ministry because Christ did not embarrassed him by exposing his sin to the others. 
 
But obviously he was offended at Christ and betrayed him and he lost his position of honour: No foundation will be named after him in the new Heaven and Earth.

Presently, there are St Peter Cathedral, St John Cathedral, St Matthew Cathedral, St. Jude Cathedral, there is no 'St Judas Cathedral.

Gehazi, the servant of Elisha lost the opportunity for a double portion of Elisha anointing because of temporary material gain. 
The name of Demas is listed on the wrong side of Kingdom History because he loved the world more than he loved Christ.

Our Lord Jesus asked Apostle Peter the following question:

"Jesus Reinstates Peter When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”
John. 21:13-17

Truly, we love Christ but we must love Him more than our crave for wealth, pleasure, fame etc.

May His grace keep us to Him forever. Nothing shall separate us from the love of Christ .

Christ In Your Heart

HOW TO ATTAIN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP  WITH GOD AND MAN Christ is called the Anointed One, which symbolisies that He was a man under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations. But there is a higher dimension of  relationship with the Holy Spirit which is state of absolute surrender that is exemplified by the life of The LORD of Host Himself: Jesus Christ, The LORD and Saviour of the Earth..
