Proverbs 22:4 By humility
and the fear of the Lord are riches, and honour, and life.
Humility ➡ freedom from
pride and arrogance; humbleness of mind; a modest estimate of one's own worth.
In theology, humility consists in lowliness of mind; a deep sense of one's own
unworthiness in the sight of God, self-abasement, penitence for sin, and
submission to the divine will.⬅
Fear ➡ A painful
emotion or passion excited by an expectation of evil, or the apprehension of
impending danger. Fear is the passion of our nature which excites us to provide
for our security, on the approach of evil.⬅
By freedom from pride and the passion of our nature
which excites us to provide for up our security on the approaching of evil. By
these two there comes;
#1➡ RICHES: Riches are not always money
Matthew 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be
also.
Matthew 12:35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart
bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth
forth evil things.
Matthew 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and
sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
heaven: and come and follow me.
What's going on in our heart, what do you
really want, desire?
#2➡ HONOR: The esteem due or
paid to worth; high estimation.
Matthew
13:57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is
not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
Your family and friends may not think you're worth
much honor but as you see they are not the ones giving honor.
#3➡ LIFE: That
word "life" is mention in the book of Matthew 24 times, in the book
of Mark 14 times, in the book of Luke 28 times but in the book of John it is
uses 76 times. That is interesting, here are a few times it's used.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have eternal
life.
John 3:36 He that believeth on the
Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see
life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
John 6:48 I am that bread of life.
I can see where real life is; Jesus!
