(TEXT : Proverbs 15:16)
Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.
FOCUS :
When you have much wealth and you fear God with it, you are definitely going to end up well. God does not spend your money, but He accept your obedience through your sacrifice which in your wealth. Everything you ever worked for and anything you have earned, they are all by the grace of God, and if you want to sustain that, you must “fear God” with your last breath. Dearly friends, “the fear God is the beginning of all wisdom.”
Psalms 111:10
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever.
Proverbs 1:7
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 20:21
An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; but the end thereof shall not be blessed.
In addition, if you will like to sustain your wealth, fear God. Be satisfied with whatever God gives to you whether it’s wife, husband, children, money, house, car, business, influence, connection etc. rather than you looking for more outside God. God knows your strength and He knows what He can give to you that you will be able to control. If you go beyond God’s limit, you will have yourself to be blamed, because God will never make any mistake. BE CONTENT!
Philippians 4:11
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
1 Timothy 6:6
But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Ecclesiastes 7:8
Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
Finally, when you accumulate much wealth and neglect God’s assignment for your life, you will end up in a great trouble. There is always going to be trouble for those who do not fear God in all their ways. Some because of their chasing after greediness, they have left the path of righteousness; and while some because of their ungrateful mindset, they have been left alone in the battle of life many years ago without them knowing it. The more you think you can accumulate more, the far the FEAR of GOD will be far away from your heart. And when you don’t fear God, you start to be in GREAT TROUBLE.
Proverbs 15:27
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
Isaiah 56:11
Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
