"RICH & BROKE"
by
Pastor Tony Sutton |
|
Hos 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of
knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also
reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast
forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

AS A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN, WE HAVE
A WEALTH OF RESOURCES AT OUR FINGER TIPS. JUST THINK FOR A MOMENT,
SOMEONE PUTS ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN A BANK ACCOUNT. THIS PERSON
TELLS YOU IT IS YOURS FOR THE TAKING, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO
GET IT OUT. YOU RECEIVE THE PHONE BILL, ELECTRIC BILL, AND A
NOTICE THAT YOUR INSURANCE IS DUE, WHAT DO YOU DO? YOU CHECK YOUR
POCKET AND FIND ONLY SOME CHANGE. THE CHILDREN ARE HUNGRY AND
THERE IS NO FOOD AND NO MONEY, WHAT DO YOU DO? DUH! I WOULD GET
SOME FROM THE BANK. WELL, THAT WOULD SEEM LIKE THE THING TO DO,
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET IT OUT. SOME MAY SAY, I WOULD FIND
OUT HOW, I WOULD ASK HOW, OR READ THE DIRECTIONS. JUST CALL THE
BANK AND ASK, OR DRIVE DOWN AND TELL THEM THAT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
TO GET THE MONEY OUT. I'M SURE THAT THEY WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY
TO HELP YOU. IT SEEMS SIMPLE. IF IT IS SO SIMPLE THEN WHY ARE
THERE SO MANY PEOPLE SUFFERING IN THIS WORLD? WE HAVE AN
INSTRUCTION BOOK, THAT GIVES US STEP BY STEP DIRECTIONS FOR EVERY
CIRCUMSTANCE IN OUR LIVES. SOME DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT THE ANSWER IS
IN THE WORD OF GOD. SOME DON'T EVEN THINK THAT GOD WOULD HELP
THEM. SOME DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL GOD OFFERS. MANY ARE STRICKEN WITH
HEARTACHE, POVERTY, AND SOME WITH FEAR. IT IS AN EVERYDAY STRUGGLE
FOR THEM TO LIVE. JUST LIKE THE MILLION IN THE BANK, GOD HAS A
STOREHOUSE FULL JUST WAITING ON US. BUT MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED,
BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO. I'M LIKE YOU IF SOMEONE PUT
A MILLION IN THE BANK FOR ME, I WOULD FIND THE WAY TO GET IT OUT.
IF WE REALLY WANT THE THINGS GOD HAS TO OFFER, WE WILL FIND OUT
HOW TO GET THEM. WE DON'T WANT TO LOOK LIKE A FOOL WHEN IT COMES
TO THE THINGS OF GOD, BUT TO GET THE MILLION WE DON'T CARE WHAT
YOU THINK. WE ARE RICH YET WE LIVE THE LIFE OF A LONELY POPPER. WE
DON'T HAVE TO THOUGH. JESUS WANT US TO PROSPER, IN ALL ASPECTS OF
LIFE.

truth. |
