WEALTH IS NOT A PROOF OF GODLINESS

📖

Then the devil led Him up into a high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this authority, and the glory of them all; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I desire. Therefore, if You will worship me in my presence, all things shall be Yours.” Luke 4:5-7 AFV

HAPPY DAY TO YOU: Good as wealth is, one has to be careful how to get it. There are various reports of how even religious leaders acquire wealth in dubious ways all over the world. I believe that many people are troubled now about the world economic crisis and they must be wondering how they can get out of the economic mess they find themselves in. It is not only you so don’t feel that God does not see you nor mindful of you. He has His ways of sorting His children out. This is why you should learn how to listen to God by yourself and have a lively relationship with Him.

Why is wealth not evidence of godliness? It is because all the authority and  glory of the world has been given to the devil by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden when he deceived them to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thereby disobeying God’s instructions. Jesus did not say that the Devil was wrong to claim that the authorities and the glory of the world had been handed over to him and he could give it to anybody but He refused to get the authority and glory by worshiping the devil. He chose not to disobey God for any reason. For anyone who would sell his soul and bow down to worship the devil can have wealth from him. However, the complete story is the story of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus to reclaim authority and glory from the devil but to an unaware soul, he can still play his deception and claim that soul. The way to make wealth in Christ is not hidden if one would seek Him and follow Him. Obedience to God in Spirit and in Truth is the proof of Godliness. Today, look not with envy on anyone’s wealth but ask Jesus for His wealth that does not add sorrow and that is enduring.

Today’s Exercise: Thank you Lord for telling me that You are aware of my situation but I must be aware of You to follow Your lead. Help me to follow You Lord. Say to yourself as often as possible (I follow my Lord Jesus wherever He leads.)
