YOU Are The FIRST And Most Important Person You Will Ever LEAD!
Is Your INNER World Large Enough To Sustain Your OUTER World?
Matthew 6:1-4 “Take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men, to
be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father in heaven.
Therefore, when you do a charitable deed, do not sound a trumpet before you as
the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory
from men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But when you do a
charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, that
your charitable deed may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will
Himself reward you openly.
Matthew 6:5-6 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they
love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they
may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you,
when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your
Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward
you openly.
Matthew 6:16-18 “Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a
sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be
fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast,
anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be
fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in
secret will reward you openly.
