TREASURE OF
WICKEDNESS
Treasures acquired by
wrong doing, such as
are got by any sort of
unjust or wicked means;
or worldly riches, term
by our LORD JESUS as
Mammon (MATTHEW
6:24) dishonest
wrongful and illicit gain,
fraud, MICAH 6:10,
cheating, corruption,
stealing, swindling
profit nothing, this
does not mean that
people cannot make
money, but that in the
end, the losses far
outweigh the gain as
many criminals, have
robbed hard-working
people of their entire
life saving by fraud,
manipulation , the
safest place for these
criminals is in prison, in
some nations are death
penalty, although
unrepentant criminals
will have their place in
the lake of fire
The righteous people,
who are honest in all of
their business and
financial dealing, justice
and equity , more over,
righteousness may be
considered as legal
obedience to the law.
|

Notwithstanding there
is the righteousness
which is created in
holiness, which is
imputed in man, is the
new man, which
created in
righteousness of
CHRIST JESUS and this
delivers from moral or
spiritual death , a death
in trespasses and sin,
for by it they are
quickened, live a life of
faith in CHRIST, and
communion with GOD;
have his image stamp in
them, and being freed
from the dominion of
sin; will be delivered
from death by their
honesty, though it be
even so little, is a means
of preserving life and
deliver from a legal
death, or from sentence
and condemnation from
eternal death
THE LORD WILL NOT
SUFFER THE SOUL OF
THE RIGHTEOUS
The LORD satisfies the
appetites of the
righteous it is a promise
that GOD will never let
a righteous person to go
hungry, the person who
is righteous and wise
must be diligent,
diligence generally leads
|

|
to the means to provide
through hard work
EPHSIANS 4:28, GOD’S
principle for right living
bring happiness,
because they guide us
daily on healthy
behavior , it includes
the inner urge towards
success, and the entire
passion and longing for
the righteousness of
GOD in CHRIST JESUS
,but they may be times
when we find it hard
provide for the needs of
our families or
ourselves, times of war,
famine or devastating
economic, or times of
persecution, which may
result to severe
hardship, nevertheless,
GOD will never abandon
his children who trust
fully in him
HE CASTETH AWAY
THE SUBSTANCE
But he cast away the
substance of the
wicked; that which is
wicked, which is got in a
wicked way by some
people turning to
stealing or dishonest
ways to meet their
needs

FOR THE LORD KNOWS
THE WAY OF THE
RIGHTEOUS
GOD is said to know the
way of the righteous,
every human being
should seek to know
GOD personally and
intimately, the way
which he walk by faith,
which is in JESUS
CHRIST, the way of the
righteous is carefully
guided and protected
by GOD those of whom
he approves, and on
whom he lifts up the
light of his
countenance, as he
searches all the heart,
and perfectly knows all
his people, so he
approves, loves, and
delights in them, and in
conduct and
conversation, this is
given as a reason why
the wicked would not
stand in the judgment
with the righteous,
because GOD fully
understands the
character of those who
are His friends only
those who GOD loves
and approve are his
friends, He personally
insures that we will
reach our final
destination, which is
heaven, who will be
able to stand in the day
of the great judgment

and therefore, will be
recompensed
THE WICKED HE DOES
NOT KNOW
The way or manner in
which the ungodly lives
shall tend to
destruction; their plans,

hopes, GOD does not
know them, he cast
them out of His sight of
the eyes, refuse to
acknowledge them, all

began to take notice of
it; I have continued so
to do, till now that I am
grown old; the psalmist
makes mention of his
age, and I cannot
remember yet have I
not seen the righteous
that in all my life, I
never saw a truly
devoted believer who is
the righteous lest
destitute of necessary
things, or his children
after him treading in his
steps, reduced to such
poverty that they were
constrained to beg from
door to door

they always have
enough both for
themselves and to share

RIGHTEOUS IS ONLY
GOOD
The righteous have
noble desire that result
in good, as he delight in
the law of the LORD,
after the inward man,
the LORD delights in
those whose lives are
upright and above
reproach because they
walk along the straight
path, obeying his holy
commandments, the
longing of the righteous
is for the blessing and
the rewards that GOD
promises His people
both in this life and
throughout all eternity,
we as believers must
delight, being in
accordance with the will
of GOD, they want only
what is just and honest
and should not only
delight in ourselves in
the LORD but also live in
such away that we bring
delight to Him
THE EXPECTION OF THE
WICKED IS WRATH
But the desire and
expectations of the
wicked men shall be
sadly disappointed, and
end in the
condemnation of GOD,
as believers, we are
often discourage
because of the injustice
of the world, evil people
frequently get by with
shameful, sinful deeds,
but GOD’S word
promises that he is
watching and that the
wicked will not go
unpunished, GOD
judgment must fall
upon the wicked as
surely as the flood of
water’s of Noah’s day,
and the fire from
heaven the wicked of
Sodom and Gomorrah

28) He that trusteth in his
riches shall fall; but the
righteous shall flourish as a
branch

HE THAT TRUST IN HIS
RICHES SHALL FALL
He who leans on and
trusts in and is
confident in his riches
will fall, to trust in
riches is to trust in
uncertain things
RIGHTEOUS SHALL
FLOURISH AS A BRANCH
But the righteous who
trust in GOD’S provision
will flourish like green
leaves; so the righteous
as a branch in CHRIST,

received life and
nourishment from him,

10)A righteous man
regardeth the life of his
beast; but the tender
mercies of the wicked are
cruel
|
A RIGHTEOUS MAN
REGARDETH THE LIFE
OF HIS BEAST
The righteous care for
their animals, it is
commonly said that
people’s character is
revealed by the way
they treat their animals,
these animals are GOD
gift, to help provide for
people’s needs, Godly
people recognize that
they are living creature
capable of feeling pain
and experience
suffering, even though
these beast will
eventually end up on
their table, the
righteous are still
considerate of their
comfort and treat them
kindly, they feed and
water them
adequately, they
provide them with
shade in the summer
and heat in winter, they
do not beat them or
treat them cruelly in
any way.
In contrast, the wicked
people are ruthless,
they think nothing but
beating or abusing an
animal, they are
unaffected by the
cruelty of not feeding
or watering their animal
adequately

6) In the house of the
righteous is much treasure;
but in the revenues of the
wicked is trouble
|
IN THE HOUSE OF THE
RIGHTEOUS IS MUCH
TREASURES
The righteous have
great treasures in their
house, a truly just and
merciful man is very
rich, whether he have
little or much, because
he is well contended,
GOD wants His children
to be successful , He
promise those who are
righteous that He will
bless their homes, keep
in mind that the
greatest treasures of life
and riches are not
material possessions,
the righteousness of
GOD, have abundance
of spiritual treasures;
they have GOD for their
portion ; CHRIST, and all
good things along with
him, the rich grace of
the Spirit, are blessing
such as: Love, joy,
peace, hope,
contentment, security,
faith, trust, these
intangible qualities
cannot be bought with
money, they are far
more valuable than any
material possession a
person could acquire
THE REVENUES OF THE
WICKED IS TROUBLE
But there is much
trouble in the greatest
revenue of the wicked,
that pierce them with
many sorrows, they
have much trouble in
keeping them, they
cannot rest or sleep
which can neither stay
long with him, nor give
him satisfaction,
the great revenue
acquired by wrong or
fraudulent way brings
only trouble , vexation,
and ruin upon a man, it
is known that the
wicked sometimes have
large possession ,
money, but when their
lives, money are not
managed by GOD’S
principles, as a result,
their coveting more
and more sometimes
leads to trouble, a
humbled home guided
by GOD’S principle is
often the happiest.

9)The way of the wicked is
an abomination unto the
LORD; but he loveth him
that followeth after
righteousness
|
THE WAY OF THE
WICKED IS
ABOMINATION TO GOD
GOD hates the way of
the wicked, the
conversation or course
of their life, GOD hates
wicked men’s religious
performance, because
they are accompanied
with ungodly lives, false
worship of idol and
mammon, which is not
good, while he
continues in a course of
sin and his religious
exercise is not pleasing
or acceptable to GOD .
The LORD delights in
obedience, this is why
He loves those who
truly repent of their sins
and seek to please Him
BUT LOVE HIM THAT
FOLLOW AFTER
RIGHTEOUSNESS
The person who
earnestly desires, and
constantly and diligently
endeavors, to be holy
and righteous in the
course of his life, not
the righteousness of the
law, nor justification by
it, nor can a man be
acceptable to GOD on
account of it, but the
righteousness of
CHRIST, which he has
wrought out, and
revealed in the Gospel
