Topic: The ambitious.
Matthew 6:33 KJV
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Many have ambitions to be Doctors, Engineers successful business men or to rise to be directors in their sectors, not knowing, what is the benefit or danger of such ambitions.
Ambitions have driven people into many unspeakable actions, people have out-rightly gone against God's will in quest of pursuing certain life's ambitions.
To be ambitious means, having or showing a strong desire and determination to succeed. There's nothing wrong in being ambitious, but if our ambitions are not towards God, it's dangerous. An ambitious person lives by his ambitions and can die for it, and if anyone dies for an earthly ambition it's terrible. "Get rich or die trying" is the watchword for many people. People who are ruthlessly ambitious, would do just anything to achieve it, as students they'll cheat in exams to succeed, they can sleep with their bosses to be promoted and so on. To be desperately ambitious for earthly fulfillment is the cause of many sins and confusions. "1 Timothy 6:9 KJV

But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition."
Let's have godly ambitions rather, like Jesus said in our text, He will add up other things for us.
"Psalm 84:11 KJV
For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly."
Surrender your ambitions at Jesus' fee and follow Him, He will fulfill it.
