FORTUNES AND FORGETFULNESS
MEMORY VERSE: “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day” (DEUTERONOMY 8:18).
Wealth or riches, also referred to as fortunes, has innate powers that can influence the owner(s), inspiring arrogance, impudence, and/or superiority complex. People who have been blessed with fortunes tend to despise the less privileged or less fortunate persons.
This tendency can also manifest in the lives of God’s people who do not employ the means of grace, as provided in the Scriptures. Thus, fortunes can cause people to forget God, who alone enables us to create wealth, and live as though there were no eternity – to the peril of their souls! So, Dwight L. Moody asserts: “We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God.”
Beloved, if God has blessed your parents with wealth, do not stride around as a big shot looking down upon indigent students in your school. Be grateful to God for the provision and worship Him with your family’s fortunes. When you grow up and go into your own career, it will be easy for you to consecrate your all to God.
QUOTE: Be grateful to God for the provision.
CHALLENGE: Self-assessment should precede our prayer for prosperity.
PRAYER: Father, bless me with humility before my fortunes arrive
