Today gospel to attract financial gain

 Dear brothers and sisters, today we gather to reflect on the importance of our relationship with God and how it relates to our finances. It is natural to desire financial stability and abundance, but as followers of Christ, we must anchor our aspirations in the teachings of the Gospel. Let us explore how seeking God's kingdom first can lead us to financial blessing.

Scripture Passage: Matthew 6:33 (NIV) "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

Point 1: Prioritizing God's Kingdom As believers, our primary focus should be on seeking God's kingdom and living righteously. Jesus encourages us to align our hearts with God's purposes, to put Him first in all areas of our lives, including our finances. Instead of chasing after material wealth alone, let us prioritize nurturing a relationship with our heavenly Father.

Point 2: Trusting in God's Provision When we seek God's kingdom first, we can trust that He will provide for our needs. Our Heavenly Father knows what we require, and He promises to take care of us. This assurance allows us to find contentment in His provision and not succumb to the anxieties that often accompany a relentless pursuit of wealth.

Scripture Passage: Proverbs 3:9-10 (NIV) "Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine."

Point 3: Generosity and Blessings As we honor the Lord with our wealth, we discover a profound truth: God blesses a generous heart. By willingly sharing our resources with others, we become conduits of His blessings to those in need. Our acts of kindness and generosity open up opportunities for God to pour out His abundance upon us.

Conclusion: Dear friends, let us remember that financial gain is not an end in itself. Instead, it should be a byproduct of seeking God's kingdom and living according to His righteousness. As we align our desires with God's will, trust in His provision, and embrace a generous spirit, we position ourselves to experience His blessings—both material and spiritual. May our pursuit of financial gain always be rooted in the love and wisdom of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
