RICHES AND WEALTH SHALL BE IN THE HOUSE OF THE RIGHTEOUS
By Rev. Michael Benson Ajayi
Matt 19:29-30 TLB “And anyone who gives up his home,
brothers, sisters, father, mother, wife, children, or property, to follow me,
shall receive a hundred times as much in return, and shall have eternal life.
But many who are first now will be last then; and some who are last now will be
first then."
The life of the
righteous is a life of sacrificial love. It requires moving against the tide of
popular opinion and suffering losses for
refusing to compromise . The world sees this as foolishness, but it is the
wisdom and power of God. 1 Cor 1:18-19 NLT “The message of the cross is foolish
to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is
the very power of God. As the Scriptures say,"I will destroy the wisdom of
the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent." Ironically , the so-called educated or wise of the world are the most miserable and insecure in confirming the validity of this scripture.
Planning one’s life
outside the righteous will of God is the most frustrating thing to do as the
world’s system and its anti-God ideals are cursed by God and angels assigned to
ensure they fail. Except God approves of any project, it is bound to fail.
Sustainable wealth is founded on integrity. Unfortunately, many church goers daily make
plans in exclusion of God’s righteous will preferring carnal principles for success
from books authored by persons with love
for money over God. Marriages have suffered greatly as a result of this; it is
one of the reasons behind the increase in death among young married men. Seeking
wealth outside God’s righteous will is dangerous.Godliness and contentment is of great reward. James 4:13-16 NLT says “Look
here, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we are going to a certain town and
will stay there a year. We will do business there and make a profit." How
do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning
fog—it's here a little while, then it's gone. What you ought to say is, "If the Lord
wants us to, we will live and do this or that." Otherwise you are
boasting about your own plans, and all such boasting is evil.” The born again Child of
God is already a success by reason of our inheritance in Jesus Christ . You
cannot be blessed of God and at the same time be a failure.
The righteous is
blessed with the anointing to get wealth . There righteous labour is often
rewarded with gifts from those whose lives have been impacted by their generosity
and uncompromising righteousness , Ps 112:1-9TLB says “For all who fear God and trust in him are
blessed beyond expression. Yes, happy is the man who delights in doing his
commands. His children shall be honored everywhere, for good men's sons have a
special heritage. He himself shall be
wealthy, and his good deeds will never be forgotten. When darkness overtakes
him, light will come bursting in. He is kind and merciful- and all goes well
for the generous man who conducts his business fairly. Such a man will not be
overthrown by evil circumstances. God's constant care of him will make a deep
impression on all who see it. He does
not fear bad news, nor live in dread of what may happen. For he is settled in
his mind that Jehovah will take care of him. That is why he is not afraid but can calmly
face his foes. He gives generously to
those in need. His deeds will never be forgotten. He shall have influence and
honor.”
Do not be
intimidated by the false success of those who have compromised their
righteousness to get a head way in life, Jesus said the uncompromisingly
righteous will eventually overtake them. Those who seem to be ahead of you
today and mock your righteous stands will soon be behind “ But many who are first now will be last
then; and some who are last now will be first then” Matt 19:30 . As you receive
Jesus Christ as lord and savior and read this now receive grace for uncommon
financial breakthroughs in Jesus name.
