THEME: The Rich Fool.
MEMORY VERSE:
“He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.”
Proverbs 28:8.
TODAY’S TEXT:
1 Timothy 6:9-10.
“But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. 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.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Yesterday, we considered the rich and the fool, we saw that the rich can be wise or foolish. While a fool is someone that deny God’s existence, rich or poor.
Meanwhile, Paul explained that on the path of greatness, there are temptations and snares awaiting those that desire riches. He opined that many foolish and hurtful lusts leads to men’s destruction and perdition.
Furthermore, brother Paul emphasize that the love of money is the root of all evil. Although, *”Money answers all things,”* (Ecclesiastes 10:19b) but when you covet it, sorrow will set in and faithfulness will turn faithlessness.
The rich fool is that man or woman that failed to help the destitute and indigents around him. For instance, The man whose gate Lazarus was laid daily (Luke 16:20). And the man that build a bigger barn, because of his increase, but died the day he set to enjoy it.(Luke 12:19-21)
In conclusion, Solomon announce that, “A man or woman who increases his substance through exorbitant interest rate and unjust gain, will not enjoy it, but only gather it for those, who will pity and help the poor. May you not be a rich fool 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 be rich, wise and live long, to help the destitute and by God’s grace make Heaven.
PRAYER POINT:
Father of all, according to Proverbs 10:22, “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” Let your blessings without sorrow locate me today in Jesus name. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
