YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT MEASURED BY WEALTH

 You shall not be stagnant and abandoned because of the anointing of God's favour upon you.

Good -Life Devotional: YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT MEASURED BY WEALTH

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

    In today’s world, many false preachers equate material wealth with righteousness. They teach that financial prosperity is a sign of God’s favor and approval. However, Scripture makes it abundantly clear that true righteousness is not measured by money or possessions. Jesus Himself warns in Luke 12:15 (AMP), “...Guard yourselves and keep free from all covetousness; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.”

   The Apostle Paul, in Philippians 4:11-12, illustrates the essence of contentment. He writes, "I have learned to be content [and self-sufficient through Christ, satisfied to the point where I am not disturbed or uneasy] regardless of my circumstances. I know how to get along and live humbly, and I also know how to enjoy abundance." Paul’s words show that righteousness and contentment are rooted in faith and reliance on Christ, not on material wealth.

    False teachers who claim that riches are a sign of righteousness cause harm to individuals and society. They promote greed, discontent, and instability, drawing people away from true spiritual growth. The Bible warns against such individuals in 1 Timothy 6:10, stating, "For the love of money is a root of all evils... Some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith."

   Instead, believers are encouraged to seek first God’s kingdom and righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Wealth may come or go, but righteousness is found in living a life of faith, obedience, and love. Let us avoid teachings that equate riches with godliness and pursue true contentment in Christ.

 In our daily prayers we should seek a healthy appetite for God's word and contentment while serving the lord in righteousness.

PRAYER; Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome inferiority complex .
