Revelation of the Word:

THEME: TEMPTATIONS

1 Timothy 6:9-10 NKJV

“But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”

INSIGHT

–The love of money is one of the greatest temptations that has the potential to cause every kind of evil in a person’s life. Jesus was tempted in the same way in Matthew 4:8-9 stating, “Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Jesus overcame by His word and the devil left Him and the angels ministered to Him. The love of money has the ability to cause one to stray from their faith and experiencing great grief since they are never content with what they have. This desire can lead individuals down a path of temptation, traps, and harmful desires that ultimately lead to ruin and destruction. The question whether riches can satisfy is answered within God’s word that, “godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6). God calls us to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all other things He will add unto us.

PRAYER

Dear Lord Jesus, You are Great and greatly to be praised. You created the earth, and everything in it. You created the sea and all the sea creatures. You created the heavens and all the creatures in them including the galaxies, planets and stars. You are the creator of all known and unknown things, we worship You and exult Your holy name. Lord You have cautioned us from worrying about our lives, what we will eat or drink, about our bodies or what we will wear for life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. Abba Father, You have assured us that we are more valuable than the birds of the air which do not sow or reap or store away in barns but yet You feed them. Lord You have promised that You will never leave us nor forsake us, we worship You and give You praise for who You are, and what You continue to do unto us. You are so faithful dear Lord Jesus, we magnify You in all the heavens and the earth. The cattle on the thousands of hills belong to You, every beast of the forest is Yours, gold and silver are silver are Yours, may You cause financial restoration and increase in each of our lives, families and nation. We pray that every debt and pending bill will be paid by Your mercy and grace Lord. May You break the curse of corruption and embezzlement of public funds in our nation and give us better leaders for this generation and generations to come dear Lord Jesus who will fear You and do Your will. We need You at each and every moment of our lives dear Lord Jesus. All glory and honor belongs to You, now and forever. Amen

Blessed Wednesday
