Don’t trust in money; don’t trust in wealth because if you trust in all these material things, they will vanish. I’ve told the story of a man very wealthy man who had many houses here in Lagos.
But he was a wicked man; he made the money by not so straight forward a way. Then he fell sick and because there was money, all the doctors tried to help him. But things got worse until he had spent all his money; then he began to sell the houses.
When he got to the last house, somebody was ready to pay. One of the doctors said, ‘let’s open him up and do what they call exploratory operation.’ They opened him up and discovered that the liver had turned to stone.
They just closed him up because there was nothing anybody could do about that. But all the money was gone and he died penniless. Don’t put trust in anything that can disappear. Put your trust in the God of blessings and not the blessings themselves. There are many blessings apart from money.
The conclusion, overflowing blessing can mean you allow your blessings to flow out to others. That the rich will allow his wealth to help the poor, The strong will use his strength to help the weak. Romans 15:1. Use your faith to help the one who is rich materially (The poor in faith).
You are saved; you know the joy of the Lord, share with those who don’t know. So that they can come and taste and see that the Lord is good. Anybody can claim that his or her blessings are overflowing provided he is a blessing. Genesis 12:3. A house help was a blessing to Naaman.
