Why is the wealth of the sinner laid up for the righteous?

Why is the wealth of the sinner laid up for the righteous?

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,

But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.

Proverbs 13:22 (NKJV)

There is therefore coming a time when the wealth of the sinner will be transferred into the hands of the righteous. The question is, what is the purpose of the wealth transfer?

1. To preach the Gospel of the Kingdom

Jesus gave us the great commission to go into all the world and teach all nations the good news about the Kingdom of God before the end can come.

To go into all nations requires the calling and the anointing, but also finances. In these end times, God wants to bless His children financially so that we can use it to preach the gospel about the Kingdom, so that millions of souls can enter the Kingdom before the second coming of our Jesus Christ:

And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Matthew 24: 14 (KJV)

2. To bless the poor

Jesus said that we will always have the poor with us and He wants to use us, His children, to bless those who are in need. You cannot bless someone financially if you are also in financial need. Therefore the purpose of the wealth transfer is so that we can have enough to bless those who are in need:

Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? When thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?

Isaiah 58:7 (KJV)

Prayer:

Dear Lord, please show me how to get ready for the coming wealth transfer in Jesus name.

There is wisdom in winning souls

There is wisdom in winning souls

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise.

Proverbs 11:30

We are told that he who wins souls is wise. Why is winning souls so important to God?

1. God desires everyone to be saved

God loves humanity so much that He was willing to offer His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.

John 3:16-17

2. God desires that everyone will know the truth

God desires that everyone will be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth of Who Jesus Christ is:

Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

1 Timothy 2:4

3. Winning souls is God’s number one priority

Winning souls is God’s number one priority on earth. Jesus said the harvest is plentiful but the labourers are few. He therefore encouraged us to pray to the Father to send workers into the harvest:

Therefore said He unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into His harvest.

Luke 10:2 (KJV)

Prayer

Dear Lord, please give me wisdom to win souls for You on a daily basis in Jesus name.

How can we avoid being seduced by sin this year?

How can we avoid being seduced by sin this year?

So she seduced him with her pretty speech and enticed him with her flattery. He followed her at once, like an ox going to the slaughter. He was like a stag caught in a trap, awaiting the arrow that would pierce its heart. He was like a bird flying into a snare, little knowing it would cost him his life.

Proverbs 7: 21-23 (NLT)

Happy New Year!

A new year provides an opportunity for us to start afresh and, it’s a time when we take stock of the lessons we learned from last year and think about what we would like to achieve in the year ahead.

Just as God has good plans for our lives, we can be certain that the enemy of our souls also has bad plans for us. These plans will come in the form of temptations and sinful traps, which can be deadly, as we can see in the scripture above. Since we are not ignorant of Satan’ devises, how can we avoid the sin that would try to seduce us this year?

1. Listen to the Words of God

Firstly, we must be good listeners of God’s Word, and not listeners only, but doers of His Word. When we do this, we will avoid falling into the traps of sin:

So listen to me, my sons,and pay attention to my words.

Proverbs 7:24 (NLT)

2. Don’t let your heart follow in sin

Sin begins in the heart as a thought before it is actually committed therefore, we are encouraged not to let our heart stray towards sin.

Remember Jesus said that if a man looks at a woman in the wrong way, he has already sinned in his heart. Therefore, we must guard our heart from anything that will lead us towards the path of sin. The way we do that is to capture the thought as soon as it comes and make it bow down to the obedience of Christ:

Don’t let your hearts stray away toward her.

Don’t wander down her wayward path.

Proverbs 7:25 (NLT)

Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)

3. Simply say no to sin

When we feel so tempted to sin, we must simply say no, and declare we are in the righteousness of God through Christ Jesus and thereby take authority over the sin, so that it does not control us. God told Cain that sin was eager to control him, but he must overcome it and be its master, and you and I can do the same thing:

You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.”

Genesis 4:7 (NLT)

Prayer:

Dear Lord, please help me to listen to Your Words and live a life of righteousness in 2018 in Jesus΄ name.
