FAITH CAPSULE: It is not right to live a life of selfishness.

James 4

The character of a selfish-minded will know to do good but walks away from doing good. 
A selfish-minded only do good, not with the character of self that cares for others but is selfish-minded to exchange, to achieve as an exploiter of others.
One with the character of a selfish-minded is of sin before God. 
James 4:17 identifies what it means of a selfish-minded, “Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.” 
Is selfish-minded your character, your way of living life?
Who are you before God?
Are you living life outside of the word of God?
Search self, live life, not for self, but to the glory of God, answering to the word of God consistently.
Live life for God, not for self.
Be mindful of God in your way of life.
Are you mind-full of God or mind-full of self as a self-centered soul?
A selfish-minded lacks consideration for others; concerned chiefly with self to profit above others at all time. 
A self-minded is not with the mind of God, the creator of all.
Are you selfish and not know you are?
The character of a selfish one is not to be mindful of none but for self, especially when nothing is at stake to gain.
The selfish character is the will, believing, and to deserve everything.
A selfish-minded does not accept constructive criticism and always believes they deserve everything, self-centeredness the evidence of self-ambition. The word of God in Philippians 2:3 speaks against self-ambition, “Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.”
Search yourself, check to know if selfishness is your character against the word of God in the way of life before God.
In the world of today, a man that is full of himself is empty of God. 
The emptiness of God in man is the evidence of not living by the word of God, the lack of fear of God. 
Today, the majority no longer fears God with their heart but with the mouth. Unfortunately, one that does not understand the fear of God will not know. Proverbs 2:5 buttresses, “Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.”
Is it possible that your selfishness has closed you not to be mindful of God and not know Him the evidence of living life as a foolish one?
To live life, do not be fooled because it is foolish to say there is no God. A selfish one that is not mindful of God is bound to be of heart that is far from God. Proverbs 14:1 identifies, “The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.”
As self-minded, you are not with the fear of God to displace God in your life, the automatic route into the path of eternal damnation.
Come out of selfishness, live life to reflect the mindset on God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to live a life for His glory.
