PURSUE NOT AFTER RICHES AND HUMAN GREATNESS FRIDAY JANUARY 27 TEXT: JAMES 4:13-15 Key verse: “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon” Matthew 6:24. Do not serve money or riches; instead serve the Lord your God. Do not share your service between money and God, instead cleave to God and serve only Him. Do not abandon the worship of God in the church. Do not abandon your Bible study, devotional life and prayer due to lack of time for spiritual things or because of the pressure of riches. Remain attached to your Bible, to prayer and fellowship of the brethren. Do not associate closely with the rich and great men of this world. Do not seek identification and friendship with the rich and great men of this world. They do not know Jesus. Their ways are not righteous. Many of them have sold their souls to Satan. They will certainly corrupt you and destroy your faith and hope in Christ. You will learn their ways and suffer damnation. Relate with them in a general sense only as duty brings you together. Seek fellowship with the brethren. Be humble and be content to identify with the lowly in Christ who are rich in faith, prayer and righteousness; seek the will of God for all things. Seek the will of God in all you do. Do not go into any true investment without seeking the will of God. Do not embark on any project without seeking God’s will. Projects or investments done to make name, create wealth or to impress others, promotes pride and spiritual death. These also results in wastage of the Lord’s resources in your hand. Carry out investments and projects by God’s will and guidance. What He directs you to do, His grace will be sufficient for you to keep you truthful, righteous and humble. Lay up for yourself treasures in heaven by giving your tithes and offering faithfully. It was said of a man who began with giving ten percent of his tithe to God, he later increased the portion of God to twenty percent, and he kept on increasing it until God’s portion became ninety percent. The blessings of God became great in his life, how much greater it is in heaven! Investing your resources in God’s work will keep your heart fixed on God and heaven where your treasure is. Trust in God and not in your wealth. Thought for the day: Lay up for yourself treasures in heaven. Song for the day: You are Alpha and Omega, we worship You our Lord… Bible reading for the day: Exodus 13-15, Matthew 19:1-15 #horemow.
