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?

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

THEME: MAKE ROOM FOR GOD 2Corinthians 1-9 You should not be among the many that are living without the precious things God promised.The LORD Jesus Christ said in John 16:24" Until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full. In making plans for your life and your future,stop focusing attention on only what you think you can do and what your resources can carry. You will be limiting God by so doing.When you plan for only what you can achieve by your personal efforts,you exclude God's grace and weary yourself with much toiling and energy exertion.Instead,you should make room for God in every plan you make. Plan to grow bigger and better in every unfolding phase of your life. When you plan for bigger things than your known resources can carry,do so with clear understanding that only God will help you to attain your desires.This understanding drives you to your knees.As you consistently pray and hold unto God,miracle are birthed...
