Topic : The riches of life in Christ
Bible Verse Hebrews 12: 16,17 "unholy like Esau who sold his birthright for a single meal..."
Message: Esau sold his blessing of firstborn for just a meal In those days It was symbolizing a blessing which is received if we live close with God.(PS:89:26,27) When we think of riches we imagine those of world like cars, house, clothes, money etc. But there is greater riches when we live with God. It is not of world but God himself is the reward. God said to Abraham " Iam your exceedingly great reward" (Gen:15:1) For God shall not make such a person lack the basic needs of the world (PS:37:6,25) also God is going to make him rich with Himself as a reward. For God will satisfy such a person with more gladness than those that trust world (PS:4:7) So what should we do; first, seek the kingdom of God & blessings of above (Mat:6:33) we should work to store riches in heaven (Mat:6:19-21) Second, as a good soilder of God be a testimony for God even at difficult paths (2Tim:2:3) Trust & rejoice in Lord always (Haba:3:17-19) Finally as St Paul says to gain Christ consider all worldly benefits, positions and pride as waste (Phil:3:7,8) we can boast only of cross(Gal:6:14) & always glorify God. May God bless you
Prayer : Dear Lord thank you for being our richest reward in life. You are all we want in our life. Continue to speak with us in Jesus name Amen
