BE
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people,
eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many
griefs.
1 Timothy 6:1o NIV
We are called to live a holy life in Christ Jesus our Lord
and Savior. We are called to live a life of contentment, and the Bible says
godliness combined with contentment brings great profit, 1 Tim 6:6. It brings
profit for a believer because it will teach him to be satisfied with whatsoever
he has in life.
The Paul continues by saying: For we brought nothing into
the world, and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing,
we will be content with that, 1 Tim 6:7-8. There are many doctrines emerging in
the body of Christ, there are some that are so popular in our time; including
what known as prosperity Gospel and the Gospel of grace.
These doctrines have been taught by many ministers through
televisions, radios, books and conferences around the world. Many Christians
who are still struggling in life feel like they are out of place; because the
lack of seen successes in their lives is translated as lack of blessings of God
by others. We are seeing the generation of Christian who develops the behavior
of loving money; and this may open the door to all kinds of evil to come in
their lives.
This morning, I just want to encourage you to ask God to
help you to be happy and satisfied with the life that He has given you. I don’t
say that you should not work hard and do everything in your power to develop
yourself and seek wealth in life. What you need is to be content with what you
have and believe God for more in His time.
You need to learn not to feel jealous when others have more
than what you have; but work hard on your part and believe God that one day He
will remember and bless you too. In the mean time it is not true that every
materials blessing is from God even if someone claims it was God the one who
blessed Him. The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow
with it, Proverbs 10:22. If a blessing is from God, it will bring wealth to a
person then they will be no trouble to it.
****Morning

contentment. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
