Welcome to the Review for 6th April 2020
CONTENTMENT IS PRICELESS2 KINGS 4:8-17
1 Timothy 6:7,8
7 Isn’t it true that our hands were empty when we came into the world, and when we leave this world our hands will be empty again?
8.Because of this, food and clothing is enough to make us content.
When it comes to issues of money, our attitude needs to be right.
First knowing that money is just a tool for exchange of #value
When you have value, you will have a flow of money.
So being a Believer,
Money will come because of the value you have. Yet you prosper by obedience to certain principles of the Kingdom.
Submission to the Kingdom and
#Righteousness,
Jesus says, you can’t serve God and mammon
So it’s essential your heart is #first submitted to Christ, (Luke 16:13)
Then you can send money on errands(it won’t control you)
It’s not a wise thing to chase money at the expense of the kingdom of God, Jesus says
SEEK FIRST the kingdom, i.e keep following the Kingdom,(Matthew 6:33)
It’s a trap many are in,
But follow the counsel given,
The Passion Translation 1 Timothy 6:17
17.To all the rich of this world, I command you not to be wrapped in thoughts of pride over your prosperity, or rely on your wealth, for your riches are unreliable and nothing compared to the living God.
Trust instead in the one who has lavished upon us all good things, fulfilling our every need.
Don’t trust your money,
Don’t “lust” after money,
Be fixed on the Kingdom
Contentment
