ONLY GOD CAN MAKE YOU RICH AND GIVE YOU PEACE

 "The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it. Proverbs 10:22"


This is a question that each one of us has asked or is asking, "What should I do to be successful?" There are many ways you can use to obtain wealth. There are seminars, various teachings, and books that have been written to guide you on how to succeed and become rich.

Some of these teachings and methods indeed yield results. Because you can acquire wealth outside of God and be successful and prosperous; Psalm 92:7 says, "Though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever." Also, Psalm 37:7 says, "Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways when they carry out their wicked schemes"

So, it's entirely clear that you can be successful without following God's ways. You can become wealthy using wicked means. But I want you to ask yourself, and I also ask you, can you bear the cost? Because Satan or human beings can give you what you want, but the price of that success is very high.

Only God can give you something for free that will not trouble you. Right now, we see on TV and social media celebrities and famous people who are very wealthy, and we know very well their riches didn’t come from God. They deceive a lot of people that their lives are full of joy and that they enjoy their wealth and success. But it's not true. Those people you see on your mobile screen who are famous and others are very rich but do not live a holy life and do what pleases God, their private lives are full of trouble, and they have no peace at all.

God has said twice in the Bible, in Isaiah 48:22, ' There is no peace,' says the LORD, 'for the wicked.' And in Isaiah 57:21, "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked." When God repeats something twice, it means that the word is sure and certain.

My advice to you is, don't follow their ways, continue to rely on God, and if you had stopped relying on Him, restore your trust in Him because, "The blessing of the LORD brings wealth, without painful toil for it."

Prayer: Oh LORD, I pray that You bless me because, if You bless me, I will be successful and have a life full of joy and peace. Amen.

Are You With The Right People?

Pursue righteous living…Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.” 2 Timothy 2:22   If you want to be in God’s will and experience His blessings, you have to be around the right people. The people who are right for you are the people who will be honest with you. They don’t just tell you what you want to hear, but they tell you what you need to hear. “Faithful are the wounds of a friend.” (Proverbs 27:6). Good friends are not afraid to confront you.   Get around the right people because everybody who comes into your life brings a spirit. Sometimes, it is easy to gravitate to people we can relate to and who are similar to us. But the problem with that is, if you both share the same weaknesses, you will not grow in that area. You need to get around someone who is strong in the areas where you are weak. They know how to help get you to where you want to be.   In 2 Chronicles 10, Rehoboam had just been appointed king. Some of the leaders of Israel met w

How Are Your Management Skills? (Part 1)

  “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!’” Matthew 25:21   The way you manage your money will determine how much God will trust you with it. In Matthew 25, a wealthy man entrusted his finances to some of his servants. He gave them each certain amounts, and when he returned, he found that some had used the money to make more money, but one servant had just hidden his in the ground. The master (who represents God) was very unhappy with this servant and called him “lazy and wicked” and even took away the little he had been entrusted with.   The master was happy with the others because no matter the amount they had been entrusted with, they used what was given to them and increased it. The servant, who was given only one bag of gold, made the decision to bury it. God expects you to use what He has given you to be a productive person. Even if you ju

Choose love over judgment

"I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” Galatians 2:21 NKJV   The message today is clear and very brief. God reminds us that our righteousness is not attained through our actions but by faith in Jesus Christ. If our righteousness is obtained by faith and not by deeds, why do we judge each other? Why do we point fingers? Why do we gossip? The mouths of Christians have become very quick to judge others when they make mistakes. Let's not judge others, especially when they make mistakes. Remember that the weaknesses you judge in others, you also have, and often yours are worse than those you judge. The word of God says, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matthew 7:1-2."   Secondly, let's not consider ourselves righteous and better than others. The word of God says, "for all
