PSALMS 49:10

10)For he seeth that wise
men die, likewise the fool
and the brutish person
perish, and leave their
wealth to others
|
WE SEE THAT WISE MAN
DIE LIKEWISE THE FOOL
Every man sees and knows
it; it is visible and evident,
that all men die, the wise
and good ; as well foolish
and wicked and leave their
wealth to others, the wealth
can neither save him from
death, nor accompany him
after death; and after his
death his possession will be
disposed off, he know not
how, nor whom.
When we die, we will leave
our wealth to others ,
Money and possessions are
useless to us when our
appointed moment with
death arrives LUKE 21:16-21
money cannot keep us alive
one minute longer and
cannot take them with us.
The wise good man dies, but
perish not; he inherit
eternal life; but the wicked
fool and brute not only
perish with death, but are
punished with everlasting
destruction in soul and body

PSALMS 49:16-17
|
16)Be not thou afraid when
one is made rich, when the
glory of his house is
increases;
17)For when he dieth he
shall carry nothing away; his
glory shall not descend
after him
|
BE NOT THOU AFRIAD
WHEN ONE IS MADE RICH
Be encourage because you
are redeemed: do not be
dismayed, dread the power
derived from wealth; do not
fear anything which a man
can do merely , over an
unbeliever who is rich and
self-sufficient, the believer
should not be discourage or
dejected: when he one is
rich, the riches of sinners is
often matter of fear and
grief to good men; partly
because their riches enables
them do more mischief then
good.
Because the riches is only
for this present life, when
they die, they can take
nothing with them into
eternity, their glory, honor,
greatness, prestige, lies
solely in the name they
acquire on this earth, when
they die, it will not descend
with them into the grave
the pit of corruption or
HELL, their riches will
remain behind for others to
enjoy, their fame will be
quickly forgotten by those
who come after them

PSALMS 62:10
|
10)Trust not in oppression,
and become not vain in
robbery; if riches increase ,
set not your heart upon
them
|
TRUST NOT IN OPPRESSION
That is riches gotten by
fraud and violence: or the
arts of acquiring them, do
not trust the world attitude
about wealth and power,
trusting in wealth and to
gain power in order to be
strong, do not resort to
theft or robbery, and
depend on that for what is
needed in life..
Don’t lift up and feel
yourselves with vain hopes
and expectation of safety
and pleasure,, from those
riches, which you take from
others by robbery or
violence , set not your heart
upon them; so as to please
yourselves in them, to place
your hope, and trust and
grow proud because of
them
They are ensnaring, they
draw ones attention from
CHRIST and things above, it
chokes the word, and lead
into many temptations and
harmful lust
But we are not to trust
anything but GOD

28)Let him that stole steal
no more; but rather let him
labor working with his hand
the thing which is good, that
he may have to give to him

LET HIM THAT STOLE STEAL
NO MORE
The believer is to strip away
the garment of stealing,
means to cheat, to take
wrongfully from another
person illegally and legally
what does not belong to
one,
Men can secure too much
of something, well beyond
what they need: and when
they hoard, they are taking
something that by nature
belongs to others
Men can sometime use the
law to steal
A person steals by taking
something which is actually
possessed or personally
owned by another person, if

a person own it you take it
you guilty of stealing.

knowledge and gift and
blessing GOD gave to be
used for the welfare of a
desperate world filled
with so many who are
less privileged and gifted

extravagantly, beyond what
he needs indulging their
flesh in lust:
1. In clothing
2. In food
3. In jewelry
4. In housing
5. In Transportation
6. In recreation
7. In possessions
8. In property
Every day we wake up to
find the world is ravaged
with:
* Who are hungry and
starving to death?
* Who are without
drinking water?
* Who are without
adequate clothing?
* Who are diseased and
without medicine?
* Who have no roof over
their heads?
* Who have no one to
teach them?
GOD command us that we
must work hard and be
diligent and honest trusted
and loyal to work so that we
can have enough to help
others, this is the will of
GOD: working enough in
order to give those who are
desperate need of help.
Work is to be honest ,and in
order to help others in the
name of JESUS CHRIST, this
is the will of GOD , this is
the only way the needs of
the world can be met, work
is for GOD’S purpose to
help the helpless and needy

without covetousness; and
be content with such things
as ye have; for he hath said,
I will never leave thee, nor
forsake thee

LET YOUR CONVERSATION
BE WITH OUT
COVETOUSNESS
Loving money :
Covetousness “mean”
loving money or possession,
a person can love money,
property, buildings, houses,
cars anything on earth, the
believers thought very
thoughts are to be free from
covetousness, his thought
are to be focus upon CHRIST
and the glorious hope of
eternity, not about the
world that well finally pass
away and its possessions,
the believer should not have
no secret lust for things of
this world but to be
content:
* Living life without
covetousness, free from
the love of money
* Being satisfied with
what one has
* Knowing GOD
personally: experiencing
his constant care,
knowing that he will
never live us or forsake
us
A believer is to be content
with what he has:
1. To be satisfied with our
lot in life: our ability,
capacity, job, position,
opportunities,
2. To be satisfied with the
home, possessions,
clothing, goods and
everything else we have,
whether it is little or
nothing
3. To be satisfied with our
present conditions
There are two ways for a
person to go about taking
care of himself in this world:
* Working and seeking in
both GOD;S strength
and his own strength:
trusting and
acknowledged GOD
working and trusting the
result to GOD, as GOD
says he will see to it that
such a trusting person
will always have the
necessities of life
* Working and seeking in
his own strength,
Depending upon his own
ability and energy alone:
fighting and struggling
to make it through life;
fretting and worrying
about succeeding

If riches, money or anything
treasured up wrath for
yourselves in the last days
by their covetousness and
wickedness through
unrighteous detention of

up as like it were fire: the
fire of divine wrath; this is
the fruit of treasuring up
riches in all ill way and
without making use of
them.

Rich persons who hoard
their money live selfishly in
the luxury and pleasure of

adding more and more
weight for the terrible day
of judgment, that is for the
wrath of GOD”s terrible

1 JOHN 2:15

15)Love not the world,
neither the things that are
in the world, if any man love
the world, the love of the
FATHER is not in him
|
LOVE NOT THE WORLD
NEITHER THE THINGS THAT
ARE IN THE WOLD
Believers are not to love
the world, the habitable
earth, the world in which
men live, that are passing
away, the world is
corruptible and
deteriorating and will
eventually be destroyed,
believer are not become
attached to the world: they
must be attached to GOD
and to the kingdom of
heaven, they must not love
the world so much that they
desire to stay here more
than they desire to be with
GOD in heaven.
The world is ravaged with
sin , lust, evil, pride and
rebellion against GOD, the
world is full of sinful people,
people who are evil and full
of lust and pride: it is full of
people who are rebellious
against GOD therefore
believers must not love this
sinful system of the world
The world is a system of
manmade Governments and
societies, some good and
some bad, but none perfect,
there fore, believers must
respect and loyal to the
good, but reject and stand
against the bad, believer
must love none of them, not
to the point that they are
more attached to the
systems of man’s
organizations than they are
to GOD and heaven
A believer is not to love this
world, the possession of this
world: he is to love GOD,
and appreciate and enjoy
the beauty and good things
moderately both of the
earth and heaven, but not
to be come more attached
to this world then he is to
GOD and heaven, believers’
eyes must be focused upon
GOD, and he is to be
attached to GOD, loving
GOD before all else.
