THANK GOD FOR WHAT YOU HAVE

Now godliness with contentment is great gain. 

For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 

And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. 

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. 

10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Many people keep grumbling to God for what they don’t have and forget to thank Him for what they have.

Believe me honestly, some people who have what you are running after are not enjoying life any better than you.

You want fame ?

  • I can tell you that fame will limit you greatly.

When we relocated to the Redemption Camp in Nigeria, I could walk anywhere I wanted, praying all night. Now, the increase in the camp’s population over the years has significantly limited how much I can walk around.

There are things you are enjoying currently, the value of which you really do not appreciate; enjoy them now, because when God begins to answer your prayers you may never be able to enjoy them again.

1 Timothy 6:6 says that godliness with contentment is great gain.

  • What exactly are you seeking that has made you ungrateful to God ?

Proverbs 23:5 says that money can develop wings and fly away; are you going to fly after it?

When the money comes, you will discover, like the Bible says in Ecclesiastes 5:10, that it does not satisfy those who love it.

Are you grateful to God that at least, you can eat?

Be grateful for what you have; stop complaining about what you don’t.

God is faithful and He will meet all your needs at the right time.

Prayer focus – Father. I thank you for all that You have given me. I am extremely grateful, Lord.
