PRACTICE HOLINESS

Read 1 Timothy 4:7 from your Bible

I call godliness “god-likeness”. God’s predominant nature is holiness — “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty” (Revelations 4:8). So there’s no god-likeness without the practice of holiness.

He said, “exercise yourself”, so it’s a thing you work out, it’s not a thing you keep waiting for. You work it out by yourself.

Read 1 Timothy 4:8,15 to see what happens when you exercise yourself unto godliness

Godliness is profitable unto all things, not only heavenly things— “having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.”

Godliness gets you back to Eden, to give you access to the “grapes” of life. It gives you a taste of God’s original plan for man, before taking you up to heaven to enjoy eternity with God.

Read 1 Timothy 4:12 for the breakdown

That is godliness!

That means, be an example of the believer in utterance and in your conduct. In the conduct of your business, the way you conduct yourself in your career—be an example of the believer in spirit, in faith, in purity. That is godliness!

So, it shows in what you say, in your conduct, in your exhibition of love. It shows in all areas of your life—in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Godliness is profitable unto all things, so beyond earthly values!

True prosperity follows your restoration back to His Eden. It’s not just money. No! It affords you things money cannot buy. You need to take definite steps towards your return back to Eden.

There is a place guaranteed when you live a sin-free life. God is saying, “If I chased man out of Eden because of sin, no man will live in Eden while in sin. Only righteousness qualifies any man to be back in Eden. Until you are set for righteousness, Eden is not in view for you. “

Read 1 Timothy 6:6,11 from your Bible

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

Great gain means great prosperity. Follow after righteousness, follow after godliness, follow after faith, love, patience and meekness, and you shall inherit the earth. Follow after all these and you will enjoy plenty, beyond what anybody can lay hold on with struggles and efforts.

Purity begets plenty! Iniquity begets penury! Financial iniquity begets financial scarcity (Luke 16:11). If you’re not financially straight, you will die in wretchedness! So awake unto righteousness, stop playing games and cheating people! It takes financial sanity to enjoy financial plenty. It takes financial integrity to enjoy financial plenty. Say with me, “Lord help me to live straight!”

shalom!
