True Riches {Luke 18:18-23}

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?

A Partaker Of Other People's Sins? - Pastor E.A Adeboye

Open Heavens Daily Devotional Friday July 15th 2016 Memory Verse: Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men’s sins: keep thyself pure. - 1 Timothy 5:22 Bible Reading: 2 Chronicles 18:28-34 28. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.  29. And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.  30. Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.  31. And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.  32.For it came to pass, that, whe...

Marriage Booster: Do You Still Love Her/Him ?

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25 KJV "This is what I love about you" In the beginning you love everything about him. You are captivated by his six pack, his spirit of adventure, and his lion’s heart. In the beginning you love everything about her. You go crazy with the swing of her hips, a wink or a chewy chocolate cake baked especially for you. One day you wake up. Daily routine has shattered your rose-tinted glasses. “His six pack is not so hot anymore, instead his joints creak with every move.” Or: “It would be better if she swung her hips into a gym one of these days.” You realize: “My partner has changed.” Fortunately! He isn’t standing still. The problem is not the change but rather, that you are a creature of habit. It is your task to rediscover your partner and to simultaneously not forget why you went up the aisle with sparkling eyes to marry your bride/groom. MARRIAGE BOOSTER Write d...

Can you ruin your destiny?

God had something in mind when He created you, right? But what if you’ve screwed up? Dropped out? Quit before it was over? Maybe you decided to do your own thing, it didn’t work out, and now you’re just sucking air and hoping there’s still hope. Guess what? There is! For God’s gifts and his call can never be withdrawn. (Romans 11:29 NLT) You don’t even have to start over. Every single thing you failed at? God will use it. (Romans 8:28) Every shot you called that was way off? God will repurpose it. (Proverbs 19:21) Every weakness you thought you had to hide? God’s power will show through it. (2 Corinthians 12:9) God created you for good works. As soon as you quit the past and sell out for Jesus, those works will happen. (Ephesians 2:10) He’s establishing you, step by step. (Proverbs 16:9) God’s a good Father. He knows how to bring you back and take you further than you ever imagined. (Ephesians 3:20) Spend some time really reflecting on these truths. What do you secretly hope is p...
