GOD’S WORD TO THE RICH IN CHRIST SUNDAY FEBRUARY 12
TEXT: DEUTERONOMY 8:18, Luke 12:32-35
Key verse: “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it” Proverbs 10:22.
The Lord is the One that makes His children rich in this world. He gives the power, privilege, wisdom, and grace to make wealth to His children. Not all are materially rich as we can see in scripture and in real life. But in the body of Christ there are brethren who are financially and materially rich. God knows the blessings of riches and the destructive force of riches. When riches and wealth are handled well, they give earthly and true eternal blessings. 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 and the everlasting damnation of hell fire.
James 5:1-6, Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your field, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
The following counsels are important to guide the rich and wealthy believer. Do not set your heart on money, but on God. Do not love money; do not set your heart on riches; instead love God and set your heart on Him. Do not pursue after riches and human greatness, instead follow after righteousness, faith, humility, kindness, and brotherly love. Do all that is in your power and in truth, grace of Christ to remain in Christ’s righteousness and holiness in order to inherit eternal life. Do not serve money; serve God only.
Thought for the day: Do not pursue after riches and greatness, instead follow after righteousness.
Song for the day: Lord I give You my heart, I give You my soul, I live for You alone…
Bible reading for the day: Leviticus 14; Matthew 26:55-75

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...
