COUNSEL TO THE RICH IN CHRIST

For taking your time to study remain blessed.
Saturday 6th November 

COUNSEL TO THE RICH IN CHRIST 
TEXT:  JAMES 5:1-6
Key verse:  “For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, 
they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows”.  
(1Timothy 6:10). 

It is the Lord that makes His children rich in this world. He gives the power, privilege, wisdom, and grace to make wealth. Not all are materially rich as we can see in the scripture and around us today. However, in the body of Christ, some brethren are financially and materially rich. God is the giver and taker of riches. When riches are handled well they glorify God.

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it. However, when material riches and wealth are not subjected to the word of God in their uses and management, they result in all kinds of miseries on earth and the everlasting damnation of hellfire.
The following counsels are necessary to guide the wealthy believers:
· Do not love money. Matthew 6:24.
· Do not set your heart on riches. Mark 10:24.
· Love God and set your heart on Him. Matthew 22:37.
· Do not pursue after riches and human greatness. Jeremiah 45:5.
· Use your money for the course of the gospel. Psalm 68:11.
· Help the poor with your money. Proverb 19:17.
· Follow after righteousness, faith, kindness, and love. 2 Timothy 2:22.
· Do all that is in your power and in the grace of Christ to remain holy.
· Lay your treasures in heaven. Matthew 6:19.
· Always glorify God for giving you wealth. Galatians 5:26.
· Be contented. 1 Timothy 6:6.
Pray for the rich brethren that Satan will not frustrate their holiness through pride, arrogance, stinginess, indiscretion and lack of wisdom.

Thought for the day: Riches in your hand is God's money. Use for His glory.
Song for the day: O Lord I am very very grateful for all you have done for me
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 43-45; Hebrews 3

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
