RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY 24TH JANUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: TRUE WEALTH.

But godliness with contentment is great gain?. 1 Timothy 6: 6.

History has demonstrated that no amount of riches can compensate for a lack of contentment.

Many wealthy people in the world have lots of millions, but they have no happiness. But true Christians understand that contentment comes from God. Paul told the Corinthians church, Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God? (2 Corinthians 3: 5; 9: 8).

The richest person is the one who needs nothing else because he is content with what he has. He adheres to the philosophy of Proverbs 30: 8  9, Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with the food that is my portion, lest I be full and deny Thee and say, Who is the Lord Or lest I be in want and steal, and profane the name of God?.

We should crave this contentment that the writer of Proverbs alluded to and Paul wrote about, anything else will leave us spiritually impoverished and we miss the great gain that comes from true godliness.
