When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. 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: Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 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; Deuteronomy 8:10-14 KJV
Hallelujah. We thank God for the powerful word.
Be humble and thank God for His goodness in your life.
You see, it is God who gives you the ability to make wealthy and when God has done that, you are supposed to seek God to reveal the purpose for which He is enabling you to do that.
We have seen before, people who were nothing become rich and they forget God. They become arrogant and despise the things of God. That is foolishness. The warning to them is that one day, they will face God and His beloved Son, Jesus. What will they say at that time. Do not be a part of them.
When you eat and become satisfied and are full, yours should be Thanksgiving to God who gives you ability and praise His holy name. Do not say it is because of your job. A job is a product of God’s blessings upon you.
When you build good houses and live comfortably in them, do not say it is because of your business. Your business is simply a blessing from God.
When you buy a nice car and feel good, do not say it is because of your investments. Your investments are simply part of God’s blessings on you.
In simplicity. The first thing you should do is to acknowledge God in all you have and thank Him. Do not worship your job, your business, your investments, etc. Worship God and thank Him for the avenues He has given you to generate income. Thank Him for the people He has given you to help you on your way to those avenues.
When you are married, do not think it is your beauty that has caused you to get married. There are so many women who are very beautiful out there and are wishing if only they could be proposed. Don’t be arrogant before God. Thank Him for His goodness in your life.
If you are married do not think it’s because you are handsome and know how to propose that caused you to marry. There are so many handsome men out there who are gifted in proposals, yet they are not married to today. It is God who works in you both to will and to do according to His good pleasures. Do not forget to worship and thank Him.
I pray today that you should eat, be satisfied and full, and bless and praise the name of God in the name of Jesus, amen.
Have a blessed day
Amen
