Luke 12:20-21 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your soul is
required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?' "So is the man
who stores up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God."
2 ILLUSIONS WE BELIEVE:
1. When things SETTLE DOWN.
Busyness is an EXTERNAL condition of the body where hurry is an
INWARD condition of the soul.
2. Someday MORE will be ENOUGH.
Philippians 4:11-13 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to
be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know
what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every
situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do
all this through him who gives me strength.
HOW TO BE RICH TOWARDS GOD:
Matthew 22:36-40 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus replied: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the
second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets
hang on these two commandments."
1. Love GOD
John 14:15 AMP “If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My
commandments.”
TIME
Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all
these things shall be added to you.
TALENT
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good
works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
TREASURE
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
John 21:15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon,
son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You
know that I love You.” He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
2. Love PEOPLE
I John 4:11-12 (MSG) My dear, dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly
ought to love each other. No one has seen God, ever. But if we love one another,
God dwells deeply within us, and his love becomes complete in us—perfect love!

himself be refreshed.
