Text — Ephesians 3:14-19

Message

Earthly riches like houses, cars, money and clothes, though good, desirable, and required for our daily lives, are not the true riches. The Bible calls them “uncertain riches” and warns us not to trust in them. (1 Timothy 6:17).

True riches are found only in Jesus; they cannot be bought with money. Sincere repentance from all sins is the gate that leads to true riches. Once you come in, you have access to purity of heart (sanctification) and Holy Ghost baptism. All these Christian experiences open you up to many more great riches and possibilities in Christ, so you can have the fulness of God.

Sin, however, is the number one enemy that denies people true riches in God. Repent of those sins and begin your journey to true riches. Other enemies are distractions that take your heart and love away from God. This hinders you from reading your Bible and praying before you go to school. It might also come as too much desire for watching cartoons, playing games, using gadgets, addiction to social media, etc. Avoid distractions, do not settle for the least, press on, desire more, seek and ask God for more.
