The Million Dollar Life
By William M. Self, Sr.
Don’t focus on getting rich
Focus on getting
Righteous
God has intended for Riches to only
Be your seed to
Righteousness
Riches of Righteousness
It is not to make you Rich, but Righteous.
The passion of every believer
should be the Kingdom of God.
That simply means we are passionate for three things…
We have a passion for Righteous, Peace and Joy.
If these three things are an everyday goal
in our lives, we will have a fulfilled life.
You will have no culture shock walking from this
earth into heaven
when these are in your life.
God is the One who gives us seed to sow.
The resource to produce what we need for life.
But God does not
want you and I to just get by.
He wants to increase our store of seed.
It does not take a very big garden to
feed a family and not a lot of seed.
He is looking for His people to
break up uncultivated
ground.
If we are willing to prepare ground, you won’t need.
God says He will
provide the seed and bring in the harvest.
This requires seeking God not only for how to
meet your needs, but the needs of others.
This is the attitude God blesses.
God is telling us not to be satisfied with
minimum wages and a back yard garden.
He wants to give you the resources to do much more.
His propose is not to make you rich, but righteous.
Read what He says…
“Now he who
supplies seed to the sower and bread for food
and
will enlarge the harvest of your
righteousness.”
God want you to have a large “Harvest of Righteousness”.
God gives riches so we can become more righteous.
God goes on to say…
“You will be
made rich in every way so that
you can be
generous on every occasion, and through
us your
generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.”
So don’t focus on getting Rich, focus on getting Righteous.
God has intended for Riches to only
be your seed to Righteousness.
How righteous are you with the riches you have?
Scripture Reading
Ephesians
1:18-19 NIV
18 I pray
also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know
the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in
the saints,
2 Corinthians
9:10-11 NIV
10 Now he
who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase
your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You
will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion,
and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
Hosea 10:12 AMP
12 Sow for
yourselves according to righteousness (uprightness and right standing with
God); reap according to mercy and loving-kindness. Break up your uncultivated
ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, to inquire for and of Him, and to
require His favor, till He comes and teaches you righteousness and rains His
righteous gift of salvation upon you.
Proverbs
11:4 NIV
4 Wealth is
worthless in the day of wrath,
but
righteousness delivers from death.
