SUCCESS AND BOASTING ABOUT MONEY

Editorial Comment

God wants to bless you so that you can be a blessing to others. God wants you to experience tremendous blessing because He knows that when you taste of His love and goodness you will want to share it with someone else. We all need wisdom to deal with life. God gives wisdom, and blesses the upright. If you’ve made Jesus Lord of your life, and have allowed Him to wash away your past, then you are upright in God’s sight and this promise is for you! No matter what has happened in the past, yesterday, or even this morning. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, you have access to all the Lord’s amazing promises. Just begin to thank Him daily for His promises of wisdom and victory, and you will experience His glorious blessing in every area of life!

Scripture Reference

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money; nor he who loves wealth, with gain: this also is vanity. When goods increase, they increase who eat them; and what gain has their owner but to see them with his eyes? Sweet is the sleep of a labourer, whether he eats little or much; but the surfeit of the rich will not let him sleep. Ecclesiastes 5:10-12
It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and sing praises to Your name, O Most High. It is good to tell of Your loving-kindness in the morning, and of how faithful. You are at night, with harps, and with music of praise. Psalm 91:1-3
Blessed is the man honours and fears the Lord and who takes pleasure in obeying God’s commandments. He will succeed in everything he does and overcome overwhelming setbacks. Future generations of his, who walk uprightly and trust in the Lord, shall also be blessed. Psalm 112:1-2

But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. Galatians 5:5

But he answered, “It is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'” Matthew 4:4
By one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous. Romans 5:19
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right spirit within me. Psalms 51:10

Additional Scripture

BRIBE CORRUPTS – Ecclesiastes 5:8 8 If you see the poor oppressed in a district, and justice and rights denied, do not be surprised at such things; for one official is eyed by a higher one, and over them both are others higher still. Ecclesiastes 7:7 Extortion turns a wise man into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the heart.

BRILLIANT FAVOUR – Ecclesiastes 9:11-12 – The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favour to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all. Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.

BROTHERS EYE – Ecclesiastes 12:14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil. Luke 6:41-42 Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? First take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

BUILD A FOUNDATION – 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 If any man builds a foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is. Fire will test the quality of each man’s work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; yet he will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames. 1 Corinthians 3:18-19 If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a “fool” so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. God catches the wise in their craftiness.
