TEXT: 1Timothy 6:7.

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

When you take your time to read the Bible, you will receive instructions on how to lead a Godly life in this corrupt and crooked world.

Some of these instructions are the thing our Bible reading today enumerates -
1 Timothy 6:7 - *Nothing to this world we bring;   from it take we nothing.* This is the plain truth, yet we sometimes live as though it is not true. Life has a way of making us chase things that appears important but are ultimately fleeting and temporary.

 *we came into this world empty-handed, and we will leave the same way. What matters is not what you gathered, but what you become in the process.*

 1Timothy 6:8 - *And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.* The key word here is contentment. In a world that constantly pushes for more, God invites us to appreciate what we have.

1Timothy 6:9 - *But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.* This verse exposes the danger of unchecked desires. The pursuit of riches can become a snare, leading people into harmful decisions and spiritual ruin. When wealth accumulation becomes the goal, it quietly replaces God on the throne of our hearts.

1Timothy 6:10 - *For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.* When money becomes an idol, it opens the door to compromise, greed, and even a drifting away from faith. Many have chased wealth only to lose peace, purpose, and their walk with God. Beloved, beware!

Judas had proximity to Jesus but he loved money more than Jesus. His love for money led him to betray Christ for thirty pieces of silver. In the end, he lose all that he thought he had gained, he also lose his soul as well. Be watchful, don't let this fleeting, temporary life, hamper your eternal journey. Shed off anything that may corrupt you.

 *BIBLE READING:* 

1 Timothy 6:6-10.

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father, please help me to remember that everything I have comes from You. Help me to be content, and to resist the traps of worldly desire in Jesus name.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
