The Source Of True Wealth PASTOR ANITA "For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God..." (Ecclesiastes 2:26). It’s not uncommon to hear some believers comparing themselves with the world, particularly in the area of finances. These are the ones who’re easily carried away with the vast estate, the splendour and wealth displayed by those in the world. Such Christians are ignorant of their inexhaustible riches in Christ Jesus. They’ve not discovered that the wealth of the heathen is laid up for them. The Lord instructed us in His Word not to admire the rich man who doesn’t know Him. You’re not of the world, whose pride and confidence is in their academic accomplishments and business successes. The Bible says, “Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord!” (Isaiah 31:1). There are well-read doctors who, with all their academic accomplishments, live in abject poverty and are unable to pay their bills. So, you see, prosperity has nothing to do with educational prowess. You must recognize that your success is by God’s grace and is rooted in your knowledge of His Word. Therefore, be eager to fill your heart and mouth with the Word, so you wouldn’t talk like the world, for what you say matters. You must pay your tithes and give offerings, because the extent of your prosperity is measured by your giving and faith in God’s Word. You should never compare yourself to the person who doesn’t know anything about tithing or giving or the Word. Always remember that the wealth of the heathen is yours; it’s laid up for you. Praise the Lord! F U RT H E R S T U DY : P S A L M 37:34-36
