Riches profit not in the day of wrath: but righteousness delivereth from death.

Text: Proverbs 11:4

Please read the whole of Proverbs 11

Surely riches is profitable and riches are profits in life. As far as I know according to the scriptures, riches is better than penury and riches are righteous in itself. In fact, the standard of God for us His children is to be rich and righteous. However, worldly riches are limited in scope of security and durability. It can grow wings and fly away and it can not actually save or deliver on a determined day of judgement. For these reasons it is not to be loved and trusted. It is only best to be used right for the purpose God gives it. (propagating the kingdom gospel).

There is only one thing that attracts and keeps true riches; and that is righteousness. It is a gift from God and a dependable security in the day of wrath or judgement. Be clear about this beloved: righteousness exalts, secures and justifies. It is stronger than death because it alive and speaks beyond death. It saves from death physical and spiritual and can not be condemned by death.

Beloved, the word of the day is true: do not lean on riches, race for righteousness. Worship and pray with a resolve to run the race in righteousness, ask for that grace that is so sufficient. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Keep the Faith
