God’s Word To Rich Men And Women In Christ
Thursday 17th April
Text: James 5:1-6
Key Verse: The blessings of Lord, it maketh rich, and He addeth no sorrow with it, Proverb 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 the riches and the destructive force of riches. When riches and wealth are handled well, they give earthly and 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.
The following counsels are important to guide the rich and wealthy believer. (i) Do not set your heart on money, but on God, 1Timothy 6: 9-12. 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 the Grace of Christ to remain in Christ’s righteousness and holiness, in order to inherit eternal life (ii) Do not serve money; serve God only, do not abandon your Bible Study, Devotional Life and prayers due to lack of time for spiritual things or pressure of riches, Matthew 6: 24.
(iii) Do not associate closely with the rich and great men of this world, 1 Corinthians 15: 33. Their ways are not righteous. Many of them have sold their souls to Satan and they will corrupt you (iv) Seek the Will of God for all things; James 4: 13 -15. Do not embark on project or investment without seeking the Will of God. (v) Lay your treasure in Heaven, Matthew 6: 19-21. Lay up for yourself treasures in Heaven by giving your Tithes and offerings faithfully (vi) Trust in God and not in your wealth; 1 Timothy 6: 17. Money and riches are temporal; they can vanish anytime. (vii) Be rich in good works; 1 Timothy 6:17-19. Let God guide you into fruitful giving. Help the poor, strengthen the weak, and encourage the discouraged in life through your resources.
