The Rich Man in You



16/08/10



Luke 18:25 Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.



The passage above talks about how hard it is for a rich manto enter the Kingdom of God, yes allot of folks who are not rich always feelconsoled by this verse as they feel it will be of great benefit to be poor soas to enter the Kingdom of God. But the verse is so deep that most of weChristians only look into the shallow meaning of the verse and see it as deathsentence to the rich men in our society.

Being RICH can bedefined as the availability and accumulation of wealth/resources, materially, financiallyor any form that make's you have control over your economic and social needs.



Now we have an idea of who is Rich based on my personal definition.The Bible is not talking about the (Luke 18:25) wealth of the Rich-Aristocrats asthe only hindrance to stop them from entering heaven alone. We have tounderstand that the Riche's the Biblealso talked about is our attitudes. What are the negative and sinful attitudesyou are Rich in? Are you Rich in pride, envy, jealousy ,slander ,Malice,stealing , lust ,fornication/adultery , gossip, arguments, disobedience,false-witnessing attitude , drunkenness , selfishness etc ? Those are attitude allot of Christiansaccumulate in them and is presently available in their live's, that the Bibleis asking us to address today, as such Riche's of sin, can hinder us fromentering the Kingdom of Heaven.



It does not matter if you are Poor, middle-class or wealthyin the society today, if you have one of the Riches' of sin, that is mentionedabove and also unmentioned, please tryand address it today, before it is too late. The more we accumulate Riche's ofsin inside us no matter how little it may be; please brother's and sister'saddress it before it's too late. The Rapture could occur any second from nowand with such Rich deposit of sin inside you, it could make you miss it (God forbid, I praynon of us miss Rapture in Jesus name).



Galt 5:21 . Envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sinslike these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living thatsort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.



Math 5:3. "Blessedare the poor in spirit, for theirs is thekingdom of heaven.



Please try and be poor in the attitude of sin, make sure thereis lack of sin in you no matter how small the details of sin may be, Pleasemake sure you live Holy, Faithful and Upright. Get your habit's, attitude and characterright and get rid of any Richness of sin out of your life .Be Poor in sin, letyour life be a picture of Christ. You are the only Bible some people may seebefore the accept Christ! Please love all people, live in peace with oneanother, be humble forgive anyone that wrongs you be faithful and obedient tothe Law's of God and also to people around you.



Phi 4:5. Let your gentleness be evident to all for Christ isnear.



If you have any Richness of sin inside you that you are strugglingwith, please talk to men/women of God to help you with counseling, advice andalso prayers. Always personally pray in your room and ask God to consume all Richnessof sin inside you today in Jesus name. Do that as often as you can, so you canbe rapture ready.



Heb 12:4. Make every effort to live in peace with all menand to be holy; withoutholiness no one will see the Lord.
