Topic :Gains Of Being Rich Towards God.

Memory Verse : Luke 12:34. For your heart will always be where your riches are.

Bible Reading : Luke 12:31-33 GNB. Key Verse: v 32.

Instead, be concerned with his Kingdom, and he will provide you with these things. “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom. Sell all your belongings and give the money to the poor. Provide for yourselves purses that don’t wear out, and save your riches in heaven, where they will never decrease, because no thief can get to them, and no moth can destroy them.

Jesus was teaching multitudes who gathered to hear him about on the need to live a contented life because the life of men does not depend on the material things they have as possessions. This happened because a young man tried to get him involved in their family dispute. He wanted Jesus Christ to use his influence to compel his brother to share family properties with him. Now Jesus began to make him understand that his assignment doesn’t include setting family inheritance issues. Jesus tried to use the parable of the rich fool to drive home his point that it’s dangerous to be rich materially without knowing God, having a relationship with him and living to do his pleasure. Jesus was trying to let this particular man understand that it is not difficult for God bless a man by prospering the works of his hands. But when God have blessed men, the problem of God is with their mindset or how they use these blessings which is meant to be used to affect lives positively and to build God’s kingdom on earth.

Jesus taught them that God cares about our needs more what we think or know. He used the lilies or grass of the field to drive home his point. God takes adequate care of grass of the field which can always be cut off or destroyed by men, not minding that they are not sure of the next moment. He even takes care, of birds of the air who doesn’t have any single inheritance unto themselves. He was trying to let us know that if God can take care of those lesser creatures, he will always take care of man who is the king over all he created. “It is God who clothes the wild grass — grass that is here today and gone tomorrow, burnt up in the oven. Won’t he be all the more sure to clothe you? How little faith you have! “So don’t be all upset, always concerned about what you will eat and drink. (For the pagans of this world are always concerned about all these things.) Your Father knows that you need these things.” Luke 12:28-30.

Finally Jesus made us understand that our priority in life should center around God, his purpose and kingdom. We are to live kingdom centered lives. We have to sow our lives as seed into the soil of the kingdom. When we do that, we will begin to command much divine attention. God will take responsibility for our well being and daily provisions. We don’t have to limit ourselves to having material things only, even when we are empty of the knowledge and wisdom of God that preserves men. When men prosper in this world without being close to the Lord who preserves men and what they have, they live at the mercy of enemies. That’s the reason many men who are not rich towards God are cut short by wicked forces, as a result of the fact that they have no spiritual defense or protection from him that is above all. “To be wise you must first have reverence for the Lord. If you know the Holy One, you have understanding. Wisdom will add years to your life.” Proverbs 9:10-11.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because you don’t just want to leave me without provisions defenseless here on earth. Help me to draw closer to you daily. Thank you because your knowledge and fear will preserve men and all I have, as I use them to serve your kingdom purposes on earth in Jesus wonderful name… Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : 2 Thessalonians 3:1-18.
