WEALTH WITHOUT SORROW

November 13, 2016 · Lanre Oyeleke · 2 views

Proverbs10:22 The blessing of the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. NLT

The lyrics of a worldly song says 'The more money you come across, the more problems you see'. That captures the mentality of worldly people about money. It is a common believe that wealthy people must have a 'but' in their life but many also fail to ask how they come about their wealth. Those that acquire wealth the wrong way usually experience a lot of sleepless night and they pay more for security.

God doesn't want to bless you with sorrow attached to it. His desire for you is to be well spirit, soul and body. When the devil blesses, you should expect sorrow and several 'buts'; there are several rich men that can't sleep because they live in fear always. I read about a man that has armed security men at the entrance to his bedroom. That's real problem. There are Christians that can't sleep well because of how they got their wealth.

The only way to being wealthy without sorrow attached is to allow the blessing come from God. When you cut corners to be wealthy and your deals are shoddy, you may die of hypertension. Stop pursuing money, pursue after God. He has in His hands true wealth without sorrows.

Action point

Father, I receive grace for a deeper walk with you In Jesus name. Amen
