Beware Of Covetousness

Lk. 12:15-21

The rich man in our scripture reading today was referred to as a ‘fool’ by Jesus because he was busy laying up treasures for himself. Covetousness will make a man desire to acquire everything on earth and he is not ready to part with any of his riches. Putting one’s trust in the power of riches will only lead to covetousness. Man is never satisfied with what he has; even when he has achieved so much he still wants to acquire more. Jesus said, “Take heed, and beware of covetousness, for a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his wealth”. Living one’s life as if all that matters is money making is detrimental to one’s spiritual and physical health. We came into this world with nothing and we shall surely leave with nothing. God wants His children to put their trust in Him rather than in the resources they can gather. Anyone who lays up treasure for himself on this earth alone (according to scriptures) is a fool. Be wise.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: When your soul shall be required, then whose shall those things be which you have provided?

PRAYER POINT: Father, remove covetousness from my life and that of all our church members. Give me satisfaction in Your provisions for me.
