True Riches {Luke 18:18-23}

By
We have many rich people around us, who we respect, honour, and even idolise but they are not truly rich. 

True riches is not measured by the abundance of things(landed property, high valued assets etc) a person owns. It is not how many influential positions a person has occupied but its simply in the test of ownership.

How many of what you have do you really own? To "own" here simply means "to keep" many we call rich don't have a guarantee of still having those things they have today, tomorrow. This is the simple reason why, they feel to secure tomorrow they have to continue endlessly in that position and never loss power.

Jesus proofed his total ownership of his life when he said, "I will lay down my life and in three days I will pick it up" Mr Rich man, can you give out all what you've got and you're, and still pick them up?

Whatsoever you can let go with assurance that you can get it back, is actually the measure of your worth in life
Some persons are dressed expensive but worth just #10 as you see them stand, argue and are even ready to fight the bus conductor for just #10 change. Some persons drive around with expensive cars but are worth #100 because that is what they can easily, confidently let go into the church offering box

Who should be termed rich among us?  Those who remember the poor, those who can give out themselves to salvage bad situations in the country, those who will not be so keen how continually they can milk Nigeria/Nigerians but rather think how much they can do for Nigeria. This is true riches, how rich are you?

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

God Will Turn Your Life Around By Jerry Savelle

Jerry Savelle Ministries Daily Devotional Friday 12th August 2016 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them  - Deuteronomy 28:13 NKJV Many people suffer from feelings of rejection. All their lives they’ve been told things that have kept them down and held them back. Perhaps you are one of these people. Maybe you were told you’d never amount to anything. You may have been born into poverty and told you would always be poor. Or you may have been ridiculed and told that no one would ever love you. Although circumstances may make these statements appear to be factual, they are not the truth. If you go to the Bible, you’ll find out that God’s plans for you are always good. In fact, if you will put God at the center of your life, He will turn things around for you. If you allow it, God will take you from being b...
