BEING RICH TOWARDS GOD

Levie Gomagoma Luke 12:16-21
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.
Luke 12:16-21

Our theme scripture is an extract of a parable shared by Jesus about a certain rich man who had a huge harvest which couldn't be accommodated in his storehouses. He decided to have new structures to accommodate the volumes and then he was geared to enjoy his harvest. God intercepted Him and said He was a fool and that he was not rich toward God. This means one can be rich in the eyes of men but not towards God. I will share you three key questions and their answers to define being rich to God. 1. Is the Lord honored in your accumulation of the riches? How did you get them or how are you getting them and with what attitude? You are not rich towards God if your riches are a gain of unrighteousness and out of vain glory. 2 Peter 2:15 records "They have wandered off the right road and followed the footsteps of Balaam son of Beor, who loved to earn money by doing wrong." Philippians 2:3 says "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory". 2. How connected are your riches to God's agenda? You may have gotten the riches rightly but are they relevant for the Kingdom of God? Mathew 6:33 says "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." God's kingdom has to be a priority in your life. 3. How do your riches improve the welfare of other people? Paul told the leaders of the Ephesian church in Act 20:35 "I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive". Riches that uplifts others honor God. These questions help you assess your financial pursuits. Never be deceived by the world's symbols of prosperity. That rich man was selfish and God was not honored in His riches. Honor God always.

Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for speaking to me today. I yield myself to your word and the Holy Spirit and I declare that am walking in your will even as regards my financial pursuits. In Jesus name. Amen
