V:4 N:130

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
Colossians 3:5

For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Ephesians 5:5

The Bible tells us that greed is idolatry, and as strange as that sounds, it is true. Let me explain. God is our Boss or Employer with a great business or kingdom. Life is a seventy-year job interview to see if you are employable in His kingdom. You cannot hire someone into your business who doesn’t like the business plan, or the boss’s ideas, or the boss’s decisions. If every day, the boss says, “I want you to do this today,” and the employee arrogantly thinks he has a better idea and does it his own way, the employee is not fit to be a part of that business. He will mess up the boss’s plans and keep the business from growing. That employee is arrogant to think that HE is a boss! He needs to start his own business and be humbled to find that he is not a boss or that he is not a god or a king.

If God has been telling you that a plate of food is what He has apportioned for you today, and defy your Boss and say, “Oh, no. I’m eating three times, plus a binge.” Then you are ARROGANT. You think you are a god, and you obviously do not like the Boss’s ideas and do not want to submit to the Boss’s ideas. Repent today and open your eyes to see how generous He is that we got to chew and swallow food every day in the perfect amounts He has apportioned.
