GUARD AGAINST THE PITFALL OF RICHES

TEXT: MARK 10:17-25
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 Him only. Do not abandon the worship of God in the church for business. Do not abandon your devotional and prayer life for lack of time as a result of the pursuit or pressure of riches.

There is an African parable which is very instructive in this instance: “You are on a mission to seek wealth and on reaching the outskirts of the town you meet an elderly man and on consultation, he tells you that he has no ready-made formula for wealth but has one for enduring integrity and peace. Please pay, obtain the formula and abandon the journey; otherwise, you may proceed to acquire the wealth and in turn spend it all to regain your integrity and peace to no avail.”

Do not seek identification with the rich and great men of this world or lust for their friendship because they do not know Jesus and their ways are not righteous. Many of them have sold their souls to Satan and they will certainly corrupt you and destroy your faith and hope in Christ. Seek fellowship with the brethren, be humble and be willing to identify with the lowly in Christ who are rich in faith, prayer and righteousness; they will strengthen your spiritual life and keep you from falling.

Learn from the experience of Lot who was attracted by the glamour and riches of Sodom and Gomorrah and barely escaped damnation with a part of his family. To preserve your soul for eternity, go about the issue of wealth and power with utmost care and prayerfully too. Never get yourself yoked with an unbeliever no matter the attraction.


Thought for the day: Never make the mistake of choosing money above Jesus.
Song for the day: All I have is You in heaven and earth all I have is You (2x)…
Bible reading for the day: Amos 4-6; Revelation 6

For taking your time to study remain blessed. UNDERSTANDING ETERNITY WEDNESDAY MAY 10 TEXT: Psalm 90: 1 - 2 Key Verse: “The Lord is King forever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land Psalm 10:16 People that understand eternity are always careful. Eternity means forever and ever, it means ever-lasting, ever-living, never dying. Trillion upon trillion years, eternity is still on, in fact it is life without end. There are two extreme ends of eternity: The kingdom of God called third heaven where God the Father, God the son, God the Holy Ghost, twenty-four elders, saints of God that make heaven, holy angels of God, and entire host of heaven dwell now presently; Hell-fire, where Satan, demons, and sinners that have died in their sins are presently kept. God is the One that introduced eternity. He lives forever. It is not a choice, the One who created us is forever, hence you will live forever, but what matters is where you will live eternally. Remove God from the way, then t...
