Where is your treasures?
Do not gather and heap up and store up treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal. But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Matthew 6:19-21 AMP
What makes you different as a Christian? Are you working hard just as an unbeliever chasing money,degrees,jobs and other worthless activities. We were called for more than that. Jesus said you will know my people by their fruit (Matthew 7:20). What fruit are you bearing? Have you shared the gospel? or saved a soul?
The main reason I believe people are not bearing fruit is because you do not have a true relationship with God. You are just religious. You go to church every Sunday but have not roots. You do not mediate on God's word. You are pretending to love God. If you love God you will want to hear from him and spend time with Him. You will obey his commandments. You do not pick and choose what to follow.
This day and age most people talk about relationships(bf/gf). I hear/see people talking about I just want to hear from that person all day long. Don't we know God wants to hear from us all day long. The greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind (Matthew 22:37). There are several scriptures that says pray without ceasing(1 Thess. 5:17) and pray in the spirit at all times (Eph. 6:18) but this cannot happen if your heart is far from God. You have to want to do His will and follow his ways already laid for you in the Holy Bible.
Examine yourself. We as Christians need to spend more time thinking of expanding God's kingdom not our own. I read a book that said the grave is the richest place because people did not use their gifts/talents from God. People are just chasing after money,houses,cars and so many other vain things. These things will not get buried with us or even go to heaven with us. Wake up fellow believers we were made for more than what we aspire for. Spend time with God and follow His ways. He will direct your path. Read all of Psalm 37 and I pray your blessed tremendously. Desire God and He will reveal Himself to you.

So true we have to think n renew our spirit in God. So that our gifts are up most used. Also we know that our lives is not hims but Gods. Sow to spirit so that we can spiritually reap sow to the flesh reap flesh.
