"His Voice Today"
November 17
🔸️ Be righteous and truthful in money matters! 🔸️
Although the Lord Jesus Christ had multiplied the bread and the fish, He commanded His Disciples to "gather the pieces that are left over; let nothing be wasted"! (John 6:12). Do you see, the Lord hates wasting!! Many believers are extravagant in their family expenses. If so, write down your Income and Expenses each month and find out in what way your money is being wasted. If you do not take this matter "seriously", you will continue to be stuck in debt forever.
Today, the main purpose of believers to indulge in many unnecessary expenses is "wishing to have the glory of people".... that's all! especially the wedding ceremony!! Many people today fall into debt just because they want to conduct the marriage in a grand luxurious manner. What is this? Stupidity.... the climax of stupidity! Similarly, they buy luxurious items to their home. They also invite others to their grand party. For what? Just for the sake of honouring themselves! All these are the complete form of stupidity!!
If we are to live only in the sight of God freely, we must surely die to the glory of men. Only then, we can be free from debt!!
If we are dishonest in spending money, God will never give us the true riches of His kingdom (Luke 16:11).
When we look at the dried-up sermons of many of today's preachers, we can clearly find that they have no true revelation in the Word of God. The reason is that, they are not truthful about money! When we feel that God has not given us revelation through His Word, it is very important to examine ourselves whether we are untruthful in the matter of money. May be it would not be unrighteousness. But there could be carelessness and vainly wasting!
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father! Forgive our irresponsible behavior in money matters; help us to be faithful in it and to attain Your true wealth! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
