FOCUS ON=THE RICHES OF GOD

 

We live in= a WEALTHY COUNTRY=we live

IN a wealthy world=We have so MUCH=why do

We NOT want to let others=have the LEAST LITTLE BENEFITS?

 

Today=Jesus is TEACHING the disciples and us=an IMPORTANT

LESSON=and us=How HARD it is=for a rich man=to ENTER

The kingdom of heaven=and he gives us=A BIZARRE EXAMPLE

About a camel=and an eye of A NEEDLE=”Then Jesus said to his disciples=

‘Truly I tell you=it is HARD for someone who is rich=to enter

The kingdom of heaven

 

Again I tell you=It is EASIER for a camel=to go THROUGH the eye=

Of a needle=than for someone=WHO IS RICH=to enter the

Kingdom of God’”                                                                                                                                     Matthew 19:23-24

 

When we are RICH=by earthly standards=we have a RESPONSIBILITY

That goes along with it=a responsibility that REQUIRES US=to help

Those who are less fortunate=the POOR and the marginalized

 

We NEED to help others=and we need to FOCUS less on=personal

Riches= and MORE on=THE RICHES of God=and his graces=FOCUSING ON=

THE RICHES OF GOD

 

“Cast but a glance=AT RICHES=and they are gone=for they will

Surely sprout wings=and fly off=to the sky=Like an eagle”                                                 Proverbs 23:5           

 

“This is what the Lord says’=’Let not the wise boast=of their

Wisdom=or the strong=boast of their strength=OR THE RICH=

Boast of their riches’”                                                                                                                    Jeremiah 9:23

 

“For you know=The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ=that though

He WAS RICH=Yet for your sake=he became poor=so that you

Through his poverty=MIGHT BECOME RICH”                                                                     2 Corinthians:8-9

 

Jesus gave everything=he had for you=The RICHNESS of

His graces=of his faith=and he brought us LESSONS=on how

Hard it is=for the rich=to get into heaven=FOCUS LESS on material

Wealth=and MORE ON=THE RICHES OF GOD!

 

IF=we focus on God’s grace=we can=HELP ONE another=and

Make it into the KINGDOM OF GOD=of heaven with Jesus=and our

Holy Father God=we are BLESSED ABUNDANTLY and we should help

Each other=in this world

 

“The Lord will grant you=ABUNDANT PROSPERITY=-------in the

Fruit of your womb=the young of your livestock=and the crops of

Your ground-------in the land he swore=to your ancestors to give you”                  Deuteronomy 28:11

 

“They celebrate=YOUR ABUNDANT GOODNESS=and joyfully sing

Of your righteousness”                                                                                                             Psalm 145:7

 

“For if=by the trespass=of the one man=death reigned=through

That one man=how much more=will those who receive=GOD’S

ABUNDANT PROVISION of grace=and of the gift of righteousness=

Reign in the LIFE=though the ONE man Jesus Christ”                                                        Roman’s 5:17

 

Dear Lord=we PRAY=that you help us to FOCUS ON you=and

THE RICHNESS OF GOD’S grace=and THE HOLY FATHER GOD=and

NOT so much on material wealth in this world

 

Dear LORD=we thank you=for each NEW DAY=and the opportunity

To get it RIGHT TODAY!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER LIVING=ever loving=ever

RICH IN GRACE=Holy Father God!
