“But godliness with
contentment is great gain: for we brought nothing into
the world, for neither can we carry anything out;
but having food
and clothing we shall be therewith content.
But they that are
minded
to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and
many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men in destruction
and perdition.
For the
love
of money is a root of all kinds of
evil: which some reaching
after have been led astray from the faith,
and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” – 1
Timothy 6:6-10 (New Kings James Translation)
Notice verse 9: “But those
who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, fall into
many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and
perdition.” (King James Translation)
Reflect on these words:
“minded,” “love” and “reaching after.”
“Minded” - the
Greek word, bou'lomai - represents those who are
“determined to be rich above all else.”
“Love of money”
- the Greek, philarguri'a - is the same as
“avarice, or greed.”
“Reaching
after” - Greek, oreg'amai, - is to desire
in the sense of coveting: “to stretch one's self out – to covet
after something.”
To paraphrase, “If your determination is to stretch yourself
out, coveting wealth … seeking it above all else … you are in great
spiritual peril.” -- Prince Handley
paraphrase
Messiah Yeshua (Jesus, the
Messiah) taught: “Hear, O Israel; The LORD our God, the LORD is
one: and you shalt love the LORD your God with all your heart, and
with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your
strength.”
“Desire(ing) to be
rich” may NOT
just mean wanting to lay up millions or billions of dollars
… or accumulating great assets. It may also mean “wanting
to make money working full time when God only wants you to work
part time and devote MORE time to His Work or His Kingdom
interests.”
“Desire(ing) to be
rich”
is different
than wanting to be rich to give you
freedom and the ability to do
God's work and enjoy
the blessings of God for yourself, your family, and
others.
“Desire(ing) to be
rich” is
different than wanting to have the ability to relax, and
and listen to God for NEW creative projects to evangelize the
world; or to help deliver and heal the sick and
oppressed.
“Desire(ing) to be
rich” is
different than wanting
to have time and flexibility to fast, pray and seek the will and
the anointing of God for your next assignment to loose nations,
governments and people groups from the bondage of Satan and his
demons.
WHAT IS YOUR
ARK?
How will you spare your family
…
AND …
Use God Anointed Wealth to bring
MIRACLES to the world?
Like Noah, how will you protect
your family and prepare them for the end times …
AND …
Prepare the world for the SECOND
appearance of Messiah & His Kingdom?
You can have all the things
you want in life as long as they are good and godly … just don't
let them have you. The God of Israel has promised
blessings for:
His people –
“He will bless those who
fear the LORD, both small and great. May the LORD increase you more
and more, you and your children. Blessed are you by the LORD, Who
made heaven and earth.” (Tanakh: Psalm
115:14,15)
Those who will be faithful in
establishing His Covenant by having part in sharing the Good News
of Messiah Jesus to Israel and the nations –
“But you shall remember the
LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get
wealth; that he may establish his covenant which he swore
to your fathers, as at this day.” (Torah: Deuteronomy
8:18)
Those who bless Israel
–
“I will bless those who
bless you (Abraham and his seed line,
Israel), and I will curse him who
curses you. In you will all of the families of the earth be
blessed." (Torah: Genesis 12:3)
“Blessed be everyone who
blesses you (Israel), Cursed be everyone who curses you.”
(Balaam's prophecy concerning Israel – Torah: Numbers
24:9)
WEALTH AND THE ARK … YOUR
ARK … are covered in God's Covenant of
Blessing.
God
will protect
YOU no matter what the economy … even in the
coming economic judgment that will flood the earth if you will be
faithful – like Noah – in building an
Ark.
God
will protect
you, give
you direction,
provide for you
miraculously … and help
you reach Israel and the nations with the Good News … if you will
covenant with Him by building an ARK: an Ark of faithfulness in
helping to share the Good
News.
