There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up."
You will encounter God in a deeper dimension in the name of Jesus.
You will experience the supernatural hand of God in an unusual dimension in the name of Jesus.
34.THE PROVERBS OF UNCLE SOLOMON
There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling place of the wise but a FOOLISH MAN SPENDETH IT UP.
A foolish man SPENDS IT ALL.
You cant be wasteful and be wealthy.They are completely different things.WASTE is a culture of the foolish.
Dont be quick to say, "Well, today's devotional is not for me.I am a very prudent person.I have a good savings culture." You might be WASTEFUL without knowing that you are.
One of the greatest forms of WASTE that I have seen in this age and time is the financial WASTE associated with EXPENSIVE PARTIES.
I still dont understand why anyone will spend millions of naira on an expensive wedding ceremony and have nothing in his bank account after the wedding.Its WASTEFUL.
There is nothing bad with celebrations but everything is bad with EXPENSIVE CELEBRATIONS.
I still dont understand why someone will spend millions of naira on an expensive burial ceremony of a parent THAT YOU DID NOT TAKE CARE OF.
Its a WASTE.
Even if people are sponsoring your wedding dont spend everything.Save up part of it to do something meaningful with your life.
I think the reason why people spend both the money they have and the money that they dont have is due to two reasons :
THE DESIRE TO IMPRESS PEOPLE and THE FACT THAT THEY DERIVE PLEASURE FROM PARTYING.
Dont spend your hard earned money or money given to you on meaningless parties just to IMPRESS PEOPLE.Its not worth anything.People go to parties almost every weekend.Before the year is over, they would have forgotten your party.The funniest thing is that this people wont come to your aid when financial challenges stare you in the face.
There is nothing bad if you DERIVE PLEASURE IN PARTYING.We derive pleasures in different ways.However spend your " excess cash" on pleasures not your life savings.The rich dont spend their money on luxuries.They spend the proceeds from their investments on such.
Dont be like this fellow who took a bank loan to finance the burial ceremony of his grand parents.I wonder if it was the devil that they were burying.
Well someone might ask, " Pastor Yomi, are you indirectly implying that your wedding wont be a very big societal wedding ?"
Hmmm
As long as its not a crusade I am organising or a seminar, I dont understand how the word BIG relates to what we are talking about.
Shalom
You are lifted.
