YOU CAN BE RICH AND RIGHTEOUS

Proverbs 8:17-18 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. (KJV)

If you read Proverbs chapter 8 from verse 1 you would notice that wisdom was speaking in the chapter. Proverbs 8:1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
Then in verses number 17th and 18th wisdom says "I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me. Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness." 

You can be rich and righteous through wisdom. The riches that comes from wisdom comes with righteousness, and the righteousness that comes from wisdom comes with riches. 
Religion says "you can't be rich and righteous. If you have lot of money you can't serve God right." That's false and is unscriptural. The Bible teaches riches, it also teaches righteousness. You can have both if you apply the right principle; wisdom. 

Wisdom is the principle for riches and righteousness. Wisdom is the Word of God. Through the Word of God you can build your riches and through the same Word you can walk in righteousness. You are not poor because you are righteous, you are not righteous because you are poor. You can be rich and righteous at the same time through the same source -- wisdom. 

The Bible never says money is the root of all evil but the love of money. 1 Timothy 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.

If you love money you would place it ahead of God and that's evil in itself that would extend to other evils. If you love money it would control you and that's sin in itself that would lead to other sins. So don't love money but use money as a slave to carry out the work of the Kingdom. You can be so rich and so righteous at the same time. 

CONFESSION

I don't love money but I use money as my slave to serve the course of the Gospel. I have the Wisdom of God and it comes with riches and honour, durable riches with righteousness. I am rich and righteous, and I produce glory to God by them. Through my riches I spread God's righteousness in the earth. Amen!

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 9th MARCH 2024 BE POWER CONSCIOUS Ephesians 1:19-20 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, (NIV) As a Christian you are not without power. If you are not walking in power it might be that you don't know you have power or you don't understand the power or you are not conscious of it. The above Scripture is clear on what it says. It says that God's incomparably great power is for us who believe. And it emphasize that it is the same power God used to raise Christ from the dead. That's interesting! It's important that you understand the power referred here and what it means to you. God's power is not in measure. In other words God doesn't have small and great. The same power with which He created the world is the same that parted the red sea, by i...

DAUGHTER OF JEZEBEL Chapter 2 Episode 2

EPISODE 2 WOLF IN SHEEP SKIN She is the pretender that cannot be caught easily. The daughter of Jezebel is very gentle and appears innocent. She is calm and quiet, and seems submissive. She obeys you and does everything you ask her, she always wants to help. With these she easily win the heart of the man of God.  She is that fellow that springs surprises.  She is very committed and prayerful but if you take her to be your wife you would be amazed that she oppose praying. You say dear "come let's pray together." Then she replies "I am not ready for that at all."   Before now she used to pray alot in church, she was the prayer director. She sings like an Angel but now you never heard her pray or sing at home. Since you got married to her she has been a totally different person from who you know at church. In fact she is the opposite of who you knew her to be. All the good behavior she put up before now and her services at church was only sheep skin on wolf nature....

Chapter 2 ON YOUR WAY TO THE TOP

Chapter two INSPIRATION Another thing you will find on your way to the Top is inspiration. Inspiration means an arousal or being stir up from within to take an action or embark on a course. If you don't have it getting to the Top is impossible. You will rely on inspiration to go higher and higher in life. If you are not inspired or stirred up from within to be about anything don't venture into it, it might fail. If you are not inspired to get to the Top in your endeavor, career or profession you may never get there. Whatever you do and wherever you go never leave inspiration behind, if you do you may get stranded on your way. Inspiration pushes you to continue even inspite of challenges. If everything else leaves you and inspiration stays everything else would come back, because nothing and no one goes far without inspiration. It's just a matter of time they will come back. Your success on your way to the Top is tied to inspiration, you may stop succeeding if you stop being...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 26th JUNE 2025 FIGHT TO FINISH Proverbs 24:16 for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. (NIV) It's only the fight that you fight till the end that you have a chance of winning. When boxers engaged in a competitive fight they don't win if they quit at the first or second round, and they don't lose if they were defeated in the first or second round. If you fell once or twice or even more you are not defeated if you are willing to continue the fight to the end. In the battles of life you must be ready to fight to finish.  A righteous person may fall many times but rises again. Falling is not a defeat if one is willing to rise up and fight to finish. We all have our fights, and it will continue until we depart this world.  Apostle Paul tells us to fight. He says "fight the good fight of the faith."  1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Ta...

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS

BREAKFAST WITH JESUS A daily devotional Pastor Stanley 4th JULY 2025 GOD'S WORD IS GOD'S ESSENCE John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (NIV) There are people who say we will find out about God when we get to heaven. But God's Word has already revealed everything He intends for us to know, and whatever else He want us to know in heaven will be revealed in heaven through His Word. God's Word is God's essence. Some wish they could see God and really express themselves to Him. If you were with God physically you would still relate with Him by His Word. Jesus' disciples walked the street with Him yet it was through the Word they knew Him and related with Him. The scriptures (the written word) is meant to direct us to the living Word. If you read the written word and not find the living Word and come to Him you have not read the written word. John 5:39-40 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in t...
