LIFE OUTSIDE JESUS CHRIST IS FULL OF SORROWS "The way of the transgressor is hard". In 1923, there was a company of people, about seven of them, who met in Chicago. They were the world’s greatest financiers. Among them was the president of the largest private steel industry, the president of Bank International Settlement, a member of the president’s cabinet, etc. These seven men controlled more wealth than the wealth of the United State of America’s treasury. But all that was outside Christ! Three of these seven world’s greatest financiers ended up committing suicide! One of them became insane! Another ended up in prison! And the president of the world’s largest private steel company died penniless! after living on borrowed money for five years. That is the bitter end of possession outside salvation! Life outside Christ is worthless! It doesn’t matter what you think you’re worth, if it is outside Christ, it is deception! God’s ways might be slow, but they are sure. Note John 15:5 “…..for without me ye can do nothing.” Anything you do on earth without Christ will always end up in crisis. It might appear to be good at first but it will surely crash. God is more than enough! Inspite of whatever economic constraints and pressures you find yourself in, you can work by His principles and still thrive and make great progress in life. Do you know that the day will come when the wealth of the sinner will be given to the righteous? “ the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just” (Proverbs 13:22). So you are covered. Just continue a life of obedience to God and his words and you will see your life rising higher and higher. Finally proverbs 10:22 says, “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” I am sure you want blessings that will make you rich without sorrow because that is what God has to for you. Those sinners might appear rich but their sorrows are far more than their supposed riches. Lord, give us grace to live 4 U in Jesus name
