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

Every Word Of God For Daily Living For taking your time to study remain blessed July Tuesday 9th TOPIC: WE ARE IN THE TWILIGHT HOUR OF RAPTURE TEXT: Ephesians 5:26-27 KEY VERSE: Hebrews 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Seeing the traces of the features of the next dispensation in this present dispensation, you should know that you are in the twilight hour. What is a twilight hour? A twilight hour is that hour of the day that you begin to see the traces of the night while it is still daylight (probably 7:00pm to 7:30pm). It is not completely dark, yet it is not complete bright either. While it is still day, you are seeing the traces of the night. A twilight hour is the hour when you are still in this dispensation but you are already seeing traces of the next. The twilight hour is the time that our Lord Jesus Christ was born and even though He came with the New Test...
