THE SECRET OF CONTENTMENT

MONEY MONDAY

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through him that given me strength – Philippians 4:12-13

The apostle Paul, like many in the early church, experienced persecution. Not only was he beaten and imprisoned, his property was also confiscated and he was left with nothing. Paul therefore sometimes had money and sometimes had nothing, but either way, he remained content.

Intense persecution and confiscation of property is coming to the church at this last hour. We’ll therefore have to learn the secret of being content whatever the circumstances, like the apostle Paul. There’ll be moments when we’ll have plenty and there’ll be moments when we’ll be in need.

We’ll have to learn the secret of being content in any and every situation. God is about to prove to the church that the prosperity message is not biblical, but contentment is. Finally, the church will know what it means to do all things, not because we’re rich, but because Christ strengthens us by His grace whether we’re well fed or hungry.

PRAYER

Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, teach me how to be content in all circumstances. Prepare me for what’s coming. May I be strengthened by your grace and not money. Amen.
