But Peter said unto him, thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money – Acts 8:20
One of the facilities of life is the notion that when you have money, you have everything.
How untrue this is! My experience in ministry have taught me that there is so much that money cannot do. For example, money cannot make a barren woman conceive. If you doubt this, ask the wealthy Shunammite woman( 2 kings 4:8-17).
It is amazing that when Elisha asked this woman what she desired, she monetarily forgot or pretended to forget that there was something she lacked which her money could not buy, which was a child (2 kings 4:13).
Irrespective of this, in 2 kings 4:16, Elisha declared to her : “…About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And he said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid”
Why did she doubt Elisha’s declaration? It was because she considered it too good to be true! She also probably felt that whatever money could not do, nothing else could do it. There Are some need Money can not buy in your Life . Money Can’t buy “Baby” Money can’t take You to Heaven..
I was invited to Preach in A Christian Gathering in Nigeria. When I got to the to Auditorium I was invited to, I saw Money In Action, I decided to change my sermon to something like “It is Good to Bless The Lord” Because I could not imagine that family having a single need.. But I was wrong. Before Long, I realized that there was a problem that money could not solve for them. God will solve the problem that has defied the power of Money in your Life in Jesus Name!
Amen!
Luke 12:15-23. 15. And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. [16] And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: [17] And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? [18] And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. [19] And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. [20] But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? [21] So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God. [22] And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. [23] The life is more than meat, o and the body is more than raiment.
Most Rich men are never satisfied with the amount of wealth they possess, this particular one was so rich that he planned to retire from creating more wealth. Unfortunately, he died the same night he conceived his plan. His money could not prevent death from snatching him away from enjoying his hard earned wealth.
Shame to money that cannot save its owner death!
If money cannot save from physical death, how would it save a person from eternal death? Jesus said the foolishness of this rich man Is applicable to those who lay up earthly treasures for themselves but are not rich towards God (Luke12:21)
