THEME: The Wealthy And The Wicked.
MEMORY VERSE:
“God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living.”
Psalms 52:5.
TODAY’S TEXT:
Psalms 52:2-4.
“Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp rasor, working deceitfully. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.”
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Today, we want to compare and contrast between the Wealthy and the wicked. Are all the wealthy wicked? Or are all the wicked wealthy? Or are there things or aspect of wealth that brings about wickedness? Or are there something in wickedness that brings about wealth?
Meanwhile, to be wealthy is possessing financial wealth; riches and have all that money can buy. Also, It is having abundant in quality or quantity. While, to be wicked is to be evil or mischievous by nature; such as hardhearted, stingy, selfish, frivolous, and so on.
However, to be wealthy has nothing to do with wickedness and to be wicked does not guarantee wealth. For the scripture says in Proverbs 10:22, “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” This implies that God’s blessings is full of joy and a joyful heart is a good heart, which cannot be wicked.
Moreover, wickedness is not synonymous to wealth, and neither is wealth to wickedness. Although wealth can becloud the heart of a man or woman, who does not operate under the grace of God in Christ Jesus and by extension become wicked. If you observe you have a bit of wickedness, come to Jesus for cleansing today, for tomorrow maybe too late. (Luke 12:20)
Conclusively, the creator certainly created all things good and beautifully well, but the enemy trickily sow wickedness in the heart of man. If you are rich, be good and show love to the poor around you. To be wicked is to fail to help, when you can be of help. May you be wealthy and not be wicked 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 refuse to be wicked. And today, I receive great wealth from the Lord.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, remove from me, any iota of wickedness. And help me Lord, to have great increase in all that I lay my hands upon in Jesus name. Amen
Yours in Christ,
B. J. Folorunsho.
