MONEY CAN MAKE YOU TO FORGET GOD



MONEY CAN MAKE YOU TO FORGET GOD

Psalm 62.10...... if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

Money is a powerful tool.

It is a good slave but a bad master.

God wants you to have money but He doesn't want money to have you.

Money will have you and become your master if you set your heart on it.

You will make good money because God's WORD at work in your life will produce results.

However.....

Psalm 62.10...... if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

Beware of setting your heart upon the riches.

Beware of turning gold to god.

Beware of putting gold before God.

Money gives your comfort.

But beware of becoming so comfortable that you begin to forget God.

You stop reading the Bible.

You stop going to fellowship.

You stop going to church.

Because you're now very comfortable and you don't need God that much again.

Beware.......

 Money can make you to forget God!

Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

Money can make your love to wax cold.

Deuteronomy 8
10  When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

 11  Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

 12  Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;

 13  And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

 14   Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

 17  And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.

Once again......

 Wealth can make you to forget God!

Avoid this by not putting gold before God.

Put God first in all things.

Remain humble and teachable.

Remain loyal and obedient.

Keep serving.

Remain in fellowship with the the people who love the Lord.

Finally.....

 Psalm 62.10...... if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.

You're blessed in Jesus name.

Have a great day.

Shalom.

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING

LIFE IS ABOUT FOLLOWING Tayo Onaleye Psalm 63.8 My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth me. The Christian life is a journey with the Master. It's about following Him, His agenda and pattern. 1. FOLLOW JESUS Mat 4:19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. He is the author and finisher of our faith. He's the Bishop of your soul and the Great Shepherd.  He's the No.1 person to follow. We follow Jesus by following the leading of the Holy Spirit in us and the Word of God. The first calling of the disciple is not to preach but to follow. Mark 3.14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, 2. FOLLOW YOUR LEADER Don't hang around a leader you refuse to follow. Mat 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. You can't help the the fellow who refuses to follow. Hebrews 13.17 Obey them that have t...

TOPIC: THE COVENANT KEY OF GROWTH

*TOPIC: THE COVENANT KEY OF GROWTH* Luke 1. 80  And the child *grew*, and waxed strong in spirit, and was in the deserts till the day of his shewing unto Israel. Genesis 26. 13  And the man waxed great, and went forward, and *grew* until he became very great:  Christianity is a covenant between God and man. And this covenant operates on *keys* Things work for you in God's kingdom to the degree that you apply the keys of the kingdom/covenant. Matthew 16.19  And I will give unto thee *the keys of the kingdom* of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. *Growing* is one of the keys of the covenant. The covenant key of growth means that even though you  are  blessed, you cannot experience the fullness of the blessing in the kingdom *unless you grow* Galatians 4.  1  Now I say, That the heir, *as long as he ...
