Don't let any benefit be obstacle to me to follow Jesus Christ

Acts 7:36-43
This is the Moses who said to his congregation, 'God will raise up a prophet just like me from your descendants.'
But they asked Aaron made a calf-idol, brought sacrifices to it.
Stephen said about how Israelite their fathers refused to obey Moses. They rejected him and in their hearts turned back to Egypt.
God turned away and gave them over to the worship of the heavenly bodies.
V42~43: Amos 5:25-27 written what the prophets said to Israelite.
Why?
God allows people to suffer the consequences of their wrongdoing.
Israelite has many of the history that refused the Moses and rejected God's prophets.
The false behavior happened again and again in the history, but human being always would not learn from it. It is the sin exists in man.
Moses did many wonders and power but people rejected him an God. Now Jesus Christ did many wonders and healed many peoples, they refused to believe in Jesus and killed him on the cross. So they did the same thing as the time of Moses. They were focus on their benefits of Temple and the position in the Temple.
Under angry or emergency people may forget the word of God or forget the Lord. Calm down and pray when things happen could let me know that He is the Lord!
How?
Does any benefit or position be obstacle to me to follow Jesus Christ?
