Good morning fellow friends in Christ and our wonderful leader, is it always good to desire the best in life or wrong to do that. Our Lord God has made us understand that, as we obey his commandments, he will give us both earthly and the kingdom prosperity. Today let us look at certain things from the Bible what it says about riches.
I MUST BE RICH
1 Timothy 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.
It is not wrong to desire the best in life, neither is it wrong to desire to be rich.
It is the will of GOD that HIS children have the best of everything on earth, but that shouldn't be our reason for serving GOD.
The number one contender with GOD for the heart of men is money. “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both GOD and money (Matthew 6:24).
This means that money can be your master if you are not careful. It will tell you what to do, where to go, who to be associated with, etc.
Money is not evil, but your love for money and riches can easily lead you to hell.
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 (1 Timothy 6:10).
Many who loved money have pierced themselves with many sorrows. Instead of chasing riches at the expense of your soul, desire to do good. But thou, O man of GOD, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love.... (1 Timothy 6:11).
Receive grace to follow righteousness in the Name of JESUS.
...beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. (Luke 12:15)
