Rich Towards God

favor, health, and joy!

In this edition, I want to remind and encourage you to be “Rich Towards God”. Being “Rich Towards God” is evident by your enthusiasm and consistency to be about the things of God. Rich Towards God is having right and strong affections towards God from the inside out, in heart and in deed. As we enter the second quarter of 2023, I urge you to look at the first quarter of the year. I compel you to evaluate the driving force for yourself, your passions, and your daily living. Were you driven by the things of this world, driven by prestige, driven by building bigger houses and obtaining more things? I encourage you to consider if you have left the main thing. Matthew 6:33 instructs us as believers to “seek first the Kingdom of God”.

As you have reflected upon this last quarter, if you have found some areas of your life that have not been consistent with being “Rich Towards God”, I encourage you to acknowledge it and make the necessary adjustments and realignments. Colossians 3:23 tell us, “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men,”. Whatever your hands find to do, ensure that you do it with all your might. As you realign or continue to be “Rich Towards God” and seek first the Kingdom of God, everything else you want will be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). Another incentive to seek the Kingdom of God first, is no good thing being withheld from you, with the contingency of you walking uprightly before God (Psalm 84:11). As you put God first and give God the glory with a pure heart, you are going to glorify Him, but He will bless you.

Friends, I am excited for what is in store for you as you pursue being “Rich Towards God”! I pray that as you are “Rich Towards God” and put Him first in your worldview, family, finances, and in your personal health, that you will be completely satisfied.

With Love,

Pastor Gabe
