The Riches Of The Righteous

TUESDAY, 29 APRIL 2025

TOPIC: THE RICHES OF THE RIGHTEOUS

SCRIPTURE: For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.” Psalm 5:12

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: A person who fears the Lord does not tell lies to be rich.

There is a blessing allocation by God for the righteous. The blessing of God is attracted by the righteous. The righteous enjoy true, lasting, durable and sustainable riches from God. But the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment (Job 20:5).

You need a conscience that is tender and not hardened by iniquity, to access the treasures of God in life.

Psalm 112:1-10 outlines the riches of the righteous:
Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

A person who fears the Lord does not lie to become rich. He would not trample on others to elevate himself, nor would he cheat or defraud people. As a child or a youth, you are not supposed to steal from your father or lie to your mother. Some people who engage in stealing today started the habit from their childhood. By all means, refuse the lifestyle of stealing, cheating, lying, immorality, and any other form of iniquity so you can access the blessings and wealth of the Lord.

REMEMBER THIS: A person who fears the Lord does not tell lies to be rich.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. Make up your mind to access the riches of the righteous by being upright in life.
2. Make a firm decision against sin and iniquity.

PRAYER: Father, I receive the grace to live right so I can access the riches of the righteous. Help me to stand for You and reflect Your righteous Image daily, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: When Solomon was visited by God and God asked him what he wanted, he never asked for money. He asked God for wisdom to do His work. When God heard that, He said, ‘Since this is the first thing in your heart, I am going to give you more money than you can ever handle in your lifetime (paraphrased). Solomon became the richest man in his generation.
