TO THE BIBLE
Luke 12:20-21 NKJV
“But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?’ So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
LET’S TALK
In one pocket, a farmer kept a handful of seeds, and in the other, he kept a handful of grain. The grain was for his immediate food, but the seeds were never to be eaten—they were to be planted for the future. He said, “If I eat my seed, my tomorrow dies with it.” How profound! When the Lord commits resources to us, He expects us to prioritise His kingdom by giving of the abundance He’s blessed us with; that’s where our security is.
The Lord Jesus gave a striking parable in Luke 12:16-21. A rich man, overwhelmed by his abundance, decided to build bigger barns to store his goods. With great confidence in his wealth, he said, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.” But God called him a fool, for that very night his soul was required of him. His wealth suddenly lost its meaning in the face of eternity. The Lord Jesus concluded, “So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.” It wasn’t wealth itself that was condemned—it was his failure to align his resources with God’s Kingdom.
To be rich toward God is to prioritise the Gospel above all else. It is to recognise that everything you have is a tool for His glory. Remember the poor widow in Luke 21:1-4 who gave her two mites? Though small, it was everything she had, and the Lord celebrated her sacrifice.
God wants you prosperous, but prosperity with Kingdom purpose. Paul, by the Spirit, instructed the rich: “Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give happily to those in need, always being ready to share with others whatever God has given them. By doing this they will be storing up real treasure for themselves in heaven—it is the only safe investment for eternity…” (1 Timothy 6:18-19 TLB). Your true wealth is measured by how much of your life and resources you’ve sown into the Gospel. So, ask yourself today: Am I rich toward God? As you put His Kingdom first, every other thing will be added unto you (Matthew 6:33). Let your resources and efforts reflect a life rich toward God!

PRAY
Dear Father, thank you for the wisdom and insight of your Word. I align my resources with your purpose in the Kingdom. I live with the consciousness of eternity, giving generously and joyfully to the Gospel and making a lasting impact in my world, for your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
