TOPIC: A GOOD NAME

TEXT: PROVERBS 22:1-7

MEMORY VERSE: “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold” (PROVERBS 22:1).

Today’s study is about good will, credit and reputation. King Solomon opined that godly values are better than riches and encouraged everyone to love virtue and flee folly. Words of men with good character will go farther than silver and gold (riches), but riches gotten through ungodly means has no eternal value and reward.

From Matthew 19:16-22, we could observe that the rich young ruler wanted eternal life but failed to align with Christ’s eternal plan for his salvation. The poor in the Spirit are those who recognise that they cannot pay for their salvation and plead for God’s mercy to be saved. However, those who are rich physically but fail to realise that they are poor spiritually will miss heaven.

The foundation of good riches is anchored on repentance from sin and faith in the atoning blood of Jesus and holiness. However, believers are also meant to be the head and not the tail. Hence, they need to be prudent and hardworking to put an end to the reign of poverty in their lives.

QUOTE: Godly values are better than riches.
CHALLENGE: Seek God’s Kingdom first.

PRAYER: Oh God, help me to possess heavenly riches.
