Psalm 24:1-2
Message
Today's Bible reading tells us that the earth is the Lord's and its fullness thereof. Today's memory verse also says that silver and gold belong to Him. Psalm 50:10 tells us that the cattle upon a thousand hills all belong to Him. With God as your Father, you should not be bothered about any financial problems. I am confident that you will overcome any financial challenge you may be facing right now because your Father will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4.:79).
It is worthy of note that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job, and other patriarchs in the Bible were all very wealthy. They walked with God, and He blessed them greatly. Since those who walk with the wise become wise (Proverbs 13:20),when you walk with the Almighty, All-sufficient God, He will always meet your needs. Beloved, make up your mind today to walk with God wholeheartedly.
In Luke 15:16-19, the prodigal son had a very wealthy father, yet he considered eating pig food, and no one gave him anything. This is how some Christians today are begging people for things that they can easily get from the Almighty God, their Father. Note that when the prodigal son departed from his father's house initially, everything seemed to be going well. However, things soon took a turn for the worse, and he realised that he had made a mistake. Thankfully, he decided to retrace his steps, and the moment he did so and returned to the loving embrace of his father, he started to live in affluence again. Beloved, if you have backslidden from God and are already experiencing lack and sorrow, retrace your steps to Him today. Do not admire the things that ungodly people are doing to get wealthy; instead, return to the One who owns all of creation and who gives the power to get true wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18).
Beloved, make up your mind to stick with God fully for the rest of your life so that you can start enjoying the benefits that come with being a child of God. Only God can give riches with no sorrow added to it, as we see in Proverbs 10:22:
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
I pray that you will walk with God wholeheartedly and not indulge in sin so that you can be truly blessed, in Jesus name.
