LUKE 18: 18-22
THE PROBLEM OF THE RICH
RULER LAYING TREASURE
ON EARTH:
MATTHEW 6:19-20
19)Lay not up yourselves
treasures upon earth, where
moth and rust doth corrupt,
and where thieves break
through and steal
20) But lay up for yourselves
treasures in heaven, where
neither moth nor rust doth
corrupt and break though nor
steal
THE GREAT SIN OF THE
WORLD: COVETOUSNESS
LUKE 12:15
15) And he said unto them,
Take heed, and beware of
covetousness: for a man’s life
consisteth not in the
abundance of the things
which he possesseth
THE RICH RULER PROBLEM:
Coveting,- lusting after
money, material possession,

THE COST OF ETERNAL
LIFE
LUKE 18:18-22
18) And a certain ruler asked
him , saying, good Master,
what shall I do to inherit
eternal life
19) And JESUS said unto him,
why callest thou me good?
None is good, save one, that
is GOD
PART OF THE TEN
COMMANDMENT THAT
DEALS WITH MAN
RELATIONSHIP WITH MAN
20) Thou knowest the
commandments, do not
commit adultery, do not kill,
do not steal, do not bear
false witness Honor thy
Father and thy Mother
21)And he said, all these
have I kept from my youth up
TO HAVE TREASURE IN
HEAVEN
22) Now when JESUS heard
these things, he said unto
|
THE COST OF ETERNAL LIFE
SELL ALL WHAT YOU HAVE
AND GIVE TO THE POOR
GOD demand
that we should love our neighbor
as our self
WHO IS OUR NEIGHBOR
The expert of the law one
who had show mercy on him JESUS told him, Go and do
likewise
LUKE 10:37
THE REASON TO SELL AND
GIVE TO THE POOR NOT THE
CHURCH, Is borne out the
ravaging world filled with the
little children , men and
women who are starving, and
diseased without shelter or
clothing no food.
GOD is not interested in
the one who
-Shut his eyes on the
Poor masses, sick,
hungry, stranger,
maimed, blind etc
Who hoards and
bank his money
Who uses his money
to commit evil
RICHES AS STUMBLING

RICH FOOL WHO WAS RICH
BY ACCUMULATING WEALTH
TO HIMSELF
16) And he spake a parable
unto them, saying, the
ground of a certain rich man
brought forth plentifully:
17) And he thought within
himself, saying, what shall I
do, because I have no room
where to bestow my fruits?
18) And he said, this will I
do; I will pull down my barns,
and build greater; and there
will I bestow all my fruits and
my goods
19)And I will say to my soul
soul, thou hast much goods
laid up for many years; take
thine ease eat, drink and be
marry
20) But GOD said unto him
thou fool, this night thy soul
shall be required of thee;
then whose shall those things
be which thou hast provided?
LIMITATION TO THE
KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
21) So is he that layeth up
treasure for himself, and is
not rich towards GOD
|
NOT RICH TOWARDS
GOD
Being rich towards GOD is
first to seek GOD’S Kingdom
and his righteousness and to
give to the ravaging world of
poverty, sickness, homeless,
needy, the oppress etc.
FOOL BY GOD
The fool according to GOD is
he who lives entirely for
himself, and not care about
the commandment of GOD
Love thy neighbor as thy self
helping the poor

which brings more happiness
than riches in the day of
Judgment

12) Then said he also to him
that bade him, when thou
makest a dinner or a supper,
call not thy friend, call not
thy friends nor thy brethren
neither thy kingsmen, nor thy
rich neighbor; lest they also
bid thee again and a
recompense be made thee
13) But when thou makest a
feast, call the poor, the

marveled, and said to them
that followed, Verily I say
unto you I have not found so
great faith no not in Israel
11) And I say unto you, that
many shall come from the
east and West, and shall sit
down with Abraham and
Isaac and Jacob in the
Kingdom of heaven
12) But the children of the
Kingdom shall be cast out
into outer darkness; there
shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth

are sown on good ground;
such as hear the word, and
receive it and bring forth
fruit, some thirty fold, some
sixty and some hundred
THE SEED SOWN ON
THORNS BY THE DEVIL
MARK 4:19
And the cares of this world,
and the deceitfulness of
riches and the lusts of other
things entering in, coke the
word, and it becameth
unfruitful
|
37) He answered and said
unto them, he that soweth
the good seed is the SON of
man
38)The field as the world;
the good seed are the
children of the kingdom; but
the tares are the children of
the wicked one
39)The enemy that sowed
them is the devil; the harvest
is the end of the world, and
the reapers are the angels
40) As therefore the tares
are gather and burned in the
fire so shall it be in the end of
this world
41) The son of man shall
shall send forth his angels,
and they shall gather out of
his kingdom all things that
offend, and them which do
iniquity
42) And shall cast them into
a furnace of fire; there shall
bewailing and gnashing of
teeth
43)Then shall the righteous
shine forth as the sun in the
Kingdom of their FATHER.
Who hath ears to hear, let

THE SON OF MAN SOW THE
GOOD SEED
THE DEVIL SOW TARES:
The good seed is the gospel
of JESUS CHRIST preached to
the children of the
kingdom/Christians.
*Such as had a true change
formed in their hearts were
truly regenerated and
converted
THE TARE : Are children of
the wicked one who are false
religionist that preaches,

24)Then said JESUS, unto his
disciples, If any man will
come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his
cross, and follow me
25) For whosoever will save
his life shall lose it: and
whosoever will lose his life
for my sake shall find it
26) For what is a man
profited, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his
own soul? Or what shall a
man give in exchange for his
soul?
27)For the son of man shall
come in the glory of his
FATHER with his engels; and
then he shall reward every
man according to his works
|
THE DENIAL OF SELF FOR ALL
BELIEVERS SEEKING ETERNAL
LIFE:
The person who sacrifices
and gives all to JESUS
CHRIST will have his life,
But the person who keep his
life and seeks more and more
of life shall loose his life:
To put off our natural
affection towards good
things: pleasure, profit,
position honor wealth,
WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A
MAN TO GAIN THE WHOLE
WORLD
The world is more of the
Once a man lost his soul, it is
lost forever.
The human soul is eternal,
the soul never dies and never
ceases to exist, it shall live for
ever either with GOD or
apart from GOD in hell
The human soul is more
valued than the world

depart from me, ye cursed,
into everlasting fire,
prepared for devil and his
angels;

and ye gave me no meat; I
was thirsty and ye gave me
no drink
43)I was a Stanger and ye
took not me in ; naked, and
ye clothed me not; sick, and
in prison, and ye visited me
not
44)Then shall they also
answer him, saying, LORD,
when saw we thee and
hungered or athirst, or a
stranger or naked or sick or
in prison, and did not
minister unto thee?
REFUSAL TO GIVE TO THE
POOR LEAD EVERLASTING
PUNISHMENT AND GIVING
TO THE POOR LEADS TO
EVERLASTING LIFE
