THE NARROW WAY DAILY DIGEST
DATE: Thursday, October 17, 2019.
THEME: The Rich And The Fool.
MEMORY VERSE:
“When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.”
Ecclesiastes 5:4.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Jeremiah 17:10-11.
“I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings. As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
In the last edition, we considered the wise and the poor. And to be wise is to be full of experience, having wisdom, knowledge and understanding of human endeavors. While to be poor, is to lack money, position, influence and be socially behind, but may be full of virtues as the case may be.
Meanwhile, the Rich is the one that is well to do, having financial abundance, he or she may be wise or foolish as the case may be. Do know that, a Fool is one that denied God’s existence, he may be rich or poor as the case may be.
However, God in His word says through prophet Jeremiah that, _”He searches the heart of man, to give according to his ways and fruit of his doing.”_ This implies that, whatever you do, the motive behind it and the results of your actions, will be the bases for your reward before God.
More so, God reveals to us that, *”getting riches in wrong way is dangerous to our destiny and harmful to our destination in life. For it simply cut off or cut short ones life.”*
Finally, king Solomon in one of his sermons, encourage us to fulfill our vows to God, for failure to do so, is tantamount to foolishness. May you not be foolish before God in Jesus name. Amen.
God bless you.
Till He returns or call you home, do remain in the power of His love.
*Jesus is coming very soon.*
Be prepared.
DAILY CONFESSION:
I will pay my vows unto the LORD now in the presence of all his people. Psalms 116:14.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, according your words in Proverbs 8:18 which says, “Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.” Oh Lord! Grant me durable riches, honour and righteousness all the days of my life in Jesus name. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
