Speaker 1: Good morning, Good morning family, God bless you. Welcome back
0:06
Speaker 1: to the morning. DEVO is your brother Sam Lopez aka
0:09
Speaker 1: DJ Sam Rock. Let me turn on this light over
0:12
Speaker 1: here real quick. If I could no, let me do this.
0:15
Speaker 1: Switch the screen back for a minute. I'll be right back.
0:18
Speaker 1: I got to turn on the other side of the
0:20
Speaker 1: lighting of the studio. I'll be right back, ay man,
0:25
Speaker 1: So we're here once again for another session. I'll get
0:30
Speaker 1: the lighting back on and bump into things early in
0:34
Speaker 1: the morning. Amen. That should look a little better. Praise
0:36
Speaker 1: the Lord, so, thank you so much. We are in
0:39
Speaker 1: Friday mode. So the weekend is upon us. That might
0:43
Speaker 1: mean nothing to people who work over the weekend, but
0:46
Speaker 1: for those who have the weekend off, welcome to the weekend.
0:50
Speaker 1: And authentic Fridays is authentic imitationlogy. And this is episode
0:55
Speaker 1: number ninety one, Episode number ninety one. We get in there, man,
1:00
Speaker 1: Lord willing will get that one hundredth episode, man, And
1:03
Speaker 1: that's a milestone in my eyes. Amen. God is so faithful,
1:07
Speaker 1: so good He allows things to happen. Amen. Sometimes we
1:12
Speaker 1: won't understand why certain things happen a men, but we
1:15
Speaker 1: can celebrate when we know that God is making things
1:18
Speaker 1: happen for the glory of God. We celebrate that. I
1:22
Speaker 1: think everything that God allows to happen in our lives
1:25
Speaker 1: is for His glory. The thing is, we might not
1:28
Speaker 1: understand reasons why this happens and that happens, but as
1:33
Speaker 1: a believer, I do understand this one thing that God
1:36
Speaker 1: is good. Amen. And from there I take it from there, Amen,
1:40
Speaker 1: no matter what life thws my way. So hopefully we
1:44
Speaker 1: can get through this together. Amen. Life together, That's what
1:48
Speaker 1: I mean, and not just these morning DeVos, not just
1:50
Speaker 1: authentic commentationalogy, but life together as we know it. Thank
1:54
Speaker 1: God for technology. When technology works, we could leverage it
1:57
Speaker 1: and use it for our favor and for the Kingdom
2:02
Speaker 1: of God. Amen, and leave everything else to do what
2:06
Speaker 1: everything else does. Amen. So today we're calling this one
2:10
Speaker 1: eternal riches. How many people out there want to be rich? Right?
2:15
Speaker 1: How many people want to live lavish lives? Have cars, homes, boats, animals,
2:23
Speaker 1: pick a fence, you know, green grass. Maybe you want
2:27
Speaker 1: to live in a beach house somewhere in a rubus
2:31
Speaker 1: like that. You know. Think about the most lavish, exotic
2:34
Speaker 1: place that you would want to live, and then you
2:37
Speaker 1: have the money to do it. Or the riches to
2:39
Speaker 1: get there. That would be a beautiful thing. Right now,
2:43
Speaker 1: do you think that God promised us that? Quick quiz?
2:47
Speaker 1: I know it's early in the morning, but did you
2:49
Speaker 1: think that God promised us riches on this earth to
2:54
Speaker 1: get lavish things. I'm not saying that you don't want
2:58
Speaker 1: that stuff, and I'm not saying that is a bad wance, right,
3:02
Speaker 1: a bad design. I'm just saying I'm asking the question
3:05
Speaker 1: that God promised that we will live that way here
3:08
Speaker 1: on earth? Right? Think about it? Like, man, did he? Well,
3:13
Speaker 1: let's see something. Amen. We're not going to get totally
3:15
Speaker 1: into all of that, right obviously, because you know when
3:18
Speaker 1: they have like a twenty five minute session, but it's
3:22
Speaker 1: a topic something you could think about during the weekend
3:25
Speaker 1: if you want to. Amen. And like I said, I'm
3:28
Speaker 1: not knocking anybody who has success in those ways and
3:32
Speaker 1: serve the Kingdom of God as well. I'm just asking
3:34
Speaker 1: a question, That's all I'm doing. Riches in heaven are
3:38
Speaker 1: better than riches on earth. When people be like, Okay,
3:43
Speaker 1: here we go, you're going to say that we need
3:45
Speaker 1: to be humble and broke, I'm going to say that
3:49
Speaker 1: at all. The word doesn't say that at all, Amen.
3:53
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna repeat what the word says. We're
3:54
Speaker 1: going to be in Matthew chapter number six, verses nineteen
3:58
Speaker 1: to twenty one, Chapter number six versus nineteen to twenty one.
4:05
Speaker 1: I had to make sure I had that right because
4:08
Speaker 1: for some reason I was thinking Matthew chapter sixteen. But
4:11
Speaker 1: if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or any prayer requests,
4:14
Speaker 1: don't hesitate to leave it on a live chat. That
4:17
Speaker 1: is exactly what we're here for, a man to communicate
4:20
Speaker 1: with one another. There's no debating. I know a lot
4:23
Speaker 1: of people would like to debate me on issues. I
4:27
Speaker 1: don't debate as much as I used to men, just
4:30
Speaker 1: because I learned that once we start throwing things at
4:33
Speaker 1: each other, whether their facts or not, we lose. We
4:38
Speaker 1: lose position, we lose the point, and we start arguing,
4:42
Speaker 1: and we're not called to argue with one another. We're
4:45
Speaker 1: called to reason with one another a man. If you
4:47
Speaker 1: want to debate about something in the scriptures, amen, we
4:51
Speaker 1: would have to use the scripture as our authority over
4:54
Speaker 1: the debate. Right, makes sense. But I know people who
4:59
Speaker 1: are willing to do that, well, good at it, Amen.
5:01
Speaker 1: I can send you their way, and if that was
5:03
Speaker 1: the case, but this platforms mostly to learn from one another,
5:07
Speaker 1: learn from the Word of God most importantly than learn
5:10
Speaker 1: from one another. Of how we see what the Word
5:12
Speaker 1: of God is doing in our lives individually and corporately.
5:16
Speaker 1: That's a beautiful thing about the Word of God that
5:18
Speaker 1: we could rightly divide his word, Amen, and we could
5:21
Speaker 1: learn or learn from His word on the day to day.
5:24
Speaker 1: As long as you're reading His word and applying what
5:26
Speaker 1: you know and applying what you learned. Amen, I believe
5:30
Speaker 1: you're going to have an exciting life. Life is still
5:33
Speaker 1: going to be thrown at us. Like I said earlier,
5:35
Speaker 1: life is still gonna happen. It's going to be good
5:37
Speaker 1: days and it's going to be bad days. Can you
5:39
Speaker 1: imagine that even as a believer in Christ, all these
5:43
Speaker 1: years I've been saved since two thousand and one, I
5:46
Speaker 1: still have bad days sometimes. Why Because God is bad? No,
5:49
Speaker 1: God is good. The world is bad, the world is broken.
5:52
Speaker 1: But God makes us whole in Him. So many benefits
5:56
Speaker 1: of being a believer, man, I can't even start to
5:58
Speaker 1: tell you. So let's pray first. After we pray, we're
6:02
Speaker 1: shared us out for like sixty seconds and when we
6:04
Speaker 1: come back, we'll get into eternal riches. Here Authentic Imitationology
6:09
Speaker 1: episode number ninety one. We're closing in on one hundred episodes,
6:12
Speaker 1: Love Willing. If that happens, we're going to have to celebrate,
6:15
Speaker 1: right So let's pray. Our sister join and I see you.
6:19
Speaker 1: Good morning, God, bless you. Welcome to the morning, Devo.
6:22
Speaker 1: We're gonna pray right now. Father God, I thank you,
6:24
Speaker 1: little guy, that you have not created us to be materialistic,
6:28
Speaker 1: That you have not created us to seek out the money, money, money,
6:31
Speaker 1: and just speak greedy and just hoard everything that we get. No,
6:36
Speaker 1: you called us for a better reason, a better purpose.
6:38
Speaker 1: You called us to be united with you. You called
6:41
Speaker 1: us to become like you. You called us to be
6:44
Speaker 1: humble and yet rich in heaven, are richly minded. You
6:49
Speaker 1: called us to be saved, sanctified, delivered from any other thing.
6:53
Speaker 1: That this world is thrown at us because You've did
6:56
Speaker 1: something to us and in us, and you're working through us.
6:59
Speaker 1: Thank you, Love God for your power, your love, your grace,
7:02
Speaker 1: your mercy. Thank you, Love God for guiding, guarding and
7:04
Speaker 1: protecting us. Thank you, Lord God for health, strength and
7:07
Speaker 1: protection and I pray that over every single person that's
7:11
Speaker 1: listening and watching. Health in the name of Jesus. Strength
7:15
Speaker 1: in the name of Jesus, and protection covered by the
7:18
Speaker 1: Holy God of Heaven and Earth. In the name of Jesus.
7:21
Speaker 1: I pray hell with myself, my wife, my family, our children,
7:26
Speaker 1: both sides of our families, our whole entire bloodlines, from
7:29
Speaker 1: the very youngest family member to the very oldest and
7:32
Speaker 1: everyone in between. Lo God, cover us and your love.
7:36
Speaker 1: Cover us in your mercy, cover us and guide us
7:39
Speaker 1: and protect us through this world that is so out
7:43
Speaker 1: of control. But yet you gave us self control because
7:47
Speaker 1: we are flowing in the spirit of Holy Spirit. God,
7:51
Speaker 1: and we are flowing in the fruit of the Spirit.
7:54
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for what you continue to do,
7:57
Speaker 1: and thank you for your words today as we dive
7:59
Speaker 1: into it in a couple of minutes. I give you
8:01
Speaker 1: all the glory because you deserve it, the honor and
8:04
Speaker 1: the praise. It's all yours, because it's no one else
8:08
Speaker 1: or nothing else. I would rather give all of that
8:10
Speaker 1: to but you deserve it all. And I pray Lod God,
8:14
Speaker 1: healing over every single person, healing, faith to increase over
8:19
Speaker 1: every single person whoever that's for in Jesus' name, I
8:22
Speaker 1: prayer it's by faith, and those who agree we say amen,
8:25
Speaker 1: because we know it is and God is the Amen.
8:28
Speaker 1: Jesus is the Amen. So let's go for sixty seconds.
8:31
Speaker 1: Help me share this out. When we come back, we'll
8:33
Speaker 1: get right into eternal riches. Matthew chapter number six, verses
8:38
Speaker 1: nineteen to twenty one. To get your Bibles ready. I'll
8:40
Speaker 1: be write back many men, We're back this. Go for it, man.
10:00
Speaker 1: Let's see what the word God has for us today
10:03
Speaker 1: on Friday, authentic immtationalogy status. Amen. I love Fridays because
10:08
Speaker 1: its spells different things for different peoples. Amen. But listen,
10:12
Speaker 1: if it's this your weekend, that you can celebrate the weekend, Amen,
10:16
Speaker 1: go ahead and celebrated. If you have to work, go
10:17
Speaker 1: ahead and work with the joy of the Lord, Amen,
10:20
Speaker 1: knowing that you're blessed to have an opportunity to work
10:23
Speaker 1: and support yourself and your family. Amen. And by whatever means.
10:28
Speaker 1: A lot of us have humble jobs, humble incomes. Amen.
10:33
Speaker 1: But when you look around and some other people's families, Amen,
10:37
Speaker 1: they don't have the luxury of that. So I'm grateful
10:40
Speaker 1: for everything I have I don't know about you. I'm grateful.
10:43
Speaker 1: And then I have a roof over my head, a studio, mic,
10:46
Speaker 1: a computer. You know what I mean. You start realizing
10:49
Speaker 1: that God is faithful to his word over your life
10:52
Speaker 1: and over my life. So we're gonna run not for
10:57
Speaker 1: the riches of this world. We're gonna run for the
10:59
Speaker 1: riches of God, Amen, through Christ Jesus. So let's go
11:02
Speaker 1: for it. Let me get this ready for the screen
11:04
Speaker 1: for those who are just listened. So winness with a
11:06
Speaker 1: Z right right now. So winneress with a Z orgy
11:09
Speaker 1: right now, Celebrated Network, Thank you so much for listening.
11:12
Speaker 1: I see that a lot of people are coming through
11:14
Speaker 1: and we're getting together on this time slot. That was
11:19
Speaker 1: all Guy's idea at five point thirty. I was trying
11:21
Speaker 1: to make times up myself. Amen. It just wasn't the
11:24
Speaker 1: right time because I wasn't listening to what God wanted
11:27
Speaker 1: me to do. And then he gave me the five
11:28
Speaker 1: thirty time slot, and am he says, stand the time,
11:31
Speaker 1: I knew that was him, because trust me, I am
11:34
Speaker 1: not a morning person. Amen. I'm just a believer that
11:38
Speaker 1: God's purpose is better than my sleep. So I get
11:43
Speaker 1: up because he gets me up. Amen, thank you Jesus.
11:46
Speaker 1: So let's go for it. Let's put this on the screen.
11:48
Speaker 1: See what's going on here with that to commentationology. Let
11:51
Speaker 1: me go ahead and hide this cursor or else you
11:53
Speaker 1: can see that blue thing, and let's go for it. Matthew,
11:57
Speaker 1: Chapter number six, verses nineteen. To anyone, the Bible says,
12:01
Speaker 1: listen closely, and I believe this is Jesus that we're quoting.
12:05
Speaker 1: He says, don't store up treasures here on earth, where
12:11
Speaker 1: moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves
12:17
Speaker 1: break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where
12:24
Speaker 1: moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break
12:30
Speaker 1: in and steal. Wherever your treasure is there, the desires
12:36
Speaker 1: of your heart will also be. Jesus is dropping knowledge,
12:44
Speaker 1: knows what he's saying. He speaks. He's the living word
12:47
Speaker 1: of God, and he's telling us what not to do
12:51
Speaker 1: and what to do. And listen. When I see or
12:56
Speaker 1: hear the Lord saying do this, I believe that's the command.
13:00
Speaker 1: When he says don't do this, I believe as a
13:02
Speaker 1: commandment as well. Ay Man, I could be wrong, but
13:05
Speaker 1: it hits my spirit as a commandment. And I'd rather
13:09
Speaker 1: follow what Jesus said than any person here on this
13:13
Speaker 1: planet says. I don't care how many degrees you have.
13:17
Speaker 1: I don't care how smart you are, how much experience
13:19
Speaker 1: you have in this that, and third, I don't really
13:22
Speaker 1: I respect your systems. If you have systems in place,
13:25
Speaker 1: how you gain knowledge and understanding of the word through
13:28
Speaker 1: a system, maybe through an organization, maybe through a church,
13:31
Speaker 1: maybe through whatever or ministry that's out there. I respect it,
13:36
Speaker 1: but I love it. I love the people and leadership
13:40
Speaker 1: in certain areas and certain countries and certain establishments. But
13:45
Speaker 1: I just obeyed my master. More amen. And the Master
13:51
Speaker 1: is saying, don't store up treasures here on earth. Why
13:55
Speaker 1: because when you're rich here on earth, you don't know
13:58
Speaker 1: who's who anymore. In other words, when you were you know,
14:05
Speaker 1: had less convenience, right, there was a lot more people,
14:11
Speaker 1: no excuse me, less people around And when you get
14:14
Speaker 1: more convenience, I'm not gonna say money, I'm just gonna
14:17
Speaker 1: say your life is at a place where you have
14:20
Speaker 1: more and you're more comfortable in life. Now you have
14:23
Speaker 1: a lot more people around you, and you just don't
14:26
Speaker 1: know who's who. You don't know who's trying to destroy
14:30
Speaker 1: what you have, who's trying to break in and steal
14:32
Speaker 1: what you have. Amen, You're not gonna know when your
14:37
Speaker 1: stuff is gonna be eaten up by moss and when
14:41
Speaker 1: it's going to get rusted out and be destroyed. Right. No,
14:45
Speaker 1: we don't want to live that way looking over our shoulders.
14:48
Speaker 1: We want to store our treasures and heaven where all
14:52
Speaker 1: those things that I just said cannot happen, because God knows,
14:56
Speaker 1: the Lord knows wherever my treasure is, there are going
15:01
Speaker 1: to be the desires of my heart as well. And
15:06
Speaker 1: so much to say. So a little time about that scripture,
15:09
Speaker 1: But just think about it, ladies and gentlemen. We have
15:12
Speaker 1: an opportunity daily to resist our I was gonna say so, No,
15:18
Speaker 1: resist our fleshly desires about running after things that are temporal,
15:24
Speaker 1: running after things that don't really matter, running after riches
15:29
Speaker 1: and glory from this world, very temporary. Amen. As a
15:32
Speaker 1: matter of fact, you need to get tired running after
15:34
Speaker 1: those things. And when you do get it, if you
15:37
Speaker 1: get it right, you get to realize that doesn't satisfy nothing.
15:41
Speaker 1: It just gives you more opportunities. It just gives you
15:44
Speaker 1: more pleasure and men. And there's nothing wrong with pleasure.
15:47
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with having a financial breakthrough. There's nothing
15:52
Speaker 1: wrong with having things that you could use to help others.
15:56
Speaker 1: Especially when you have a lot and you're helping others,
15:59
Speaker 1: I believe I will bless you even more. But if
16:02
Speaker 1: you just have a lot to say that you have
16:04
Speaker 1: a lot, or to show that you have a lot,
16:05
Speaker 1: and you're storing up the riches here on earth for
16:09
Speaker 1: whatever reason, Jesus says, don't do that. This is like amazing.
16:13
Speaker 1: It's like God is cutting that off. He's like, that's cool.
16:18
Speaker 1: Just don't do that. He knows why he's telling us
16:23
Speaker 1: not to do that, because he says, wherever your treasure
16:26
Speaker 1: is there, your heart also will be. Man. Some people,
16:30
Speaker 1: and I've heard it, preach that if we show them
16:33
Speaker 1: our bank account. If you show somebody your bank account
16:36
Speaker 1: and see where most of your money is going towards, Amen,
16:40
Speaker 1: and then that's where your treasure is, that's where your
16:43
Speaker 1: heart is. If you look at my bank account, you
16:46
Speaker 1: see where most of the my money is going to,
16:48
Speaker 1: you could be like man, poor guy, he's trying to
16:51
Speaker 1: pay bills every week. Amen, and my heart is not
16:55
Speaker 1: with my bills. I'm so detached to the world is incredible.
16:59
Speaker 1: I'm not attached to my car. I'm not attached to
17:02
Speaker 1: my studio equipment. Amen. I'm not attached to any worldly thing.
17:06
Speaker 1: It took a while, Amen, but I realized, you know what,
17:09
Speaker 1: that stuff is gonna burn sooner or later. It's gonna
17:13
Speaker 1: die out sooner or later. It's gonna fail sooner or later.
17:16
Speaker 1: How many people have nice cars. If we have a
17:18
Speaker 1: nice car, brand new car, congratulations. But that brand new
17:22
Speaker 1: car one day is gonna break down. Amen. I don't
17:24
Speaker 1: care how much money you paid for it. It's gonna
17:26
Speaker 1: break down one day. Why. Because those things are temporal.
17:30
Speaker 1: God wants us to have eternal riches. He wants us
17:33
Speaker 1: to have eternal things. He wants us to have things
17:36
Speaker 1: that's going to last for eternity. That's why he came
17:39
Speaker 1: to save us. Amen, and rescue us, and change our
17:42
Speaker 1: mind and give us a new heart. Amen, and then
17:45
Speaker 1: guide us by way of His Holy Spirit who lives
17:48
Speaker 1: inside of us, to show us the eternal perspective of things,
17:52
Speaker 1: while people in this world are just running around for
17:55
Speaker 1: temporary things. Amen. It's a big difference. I'm not really
17:59
Speaker 1: that good at math. But I take eternity and I
18:02
Speaker 1: look at temporary or temporal things, and mathematically I know
18:07
Speaker 1: that eternity is a much longer time. Can't tell you
18:10
Speaker 1: how long eternity is. And then somebody tries to tell
18:13
Speaker 1: you how long ettornity is. You could pray for them
18:17
Speaker 1: and just ask them to rethink their thinking. No one
18:21
Speaker 1: knows what eternity, how many years eternity is. No one knows.
18:25
Speaker 1: God knows. He's an eternal being. He's an eternal God. Amen.
18:28
Speaker 1: And he speaks when he spoke, and I'm quoting the
18:31
Speaker 1: Lord himself when he says, do not do that. Do
18:35
Speaker 1: not store riches in heaven. You can have riches in heaven, Amen,
18:38
Speaker 1: just don't chase it because you're gonna run out of
18:41
Speaker 1: steam real quick. And if you do have it, if
18:44
Speaker 1: you're blessed enough to inherit an inheritance from your dad
18:48
Speaker 1: or your mom or your family, or you're in a
18:50
Speaker 1: family lineage that is rich, right, and you have many
18:56
Speaker 1: blessings here in the earth. Praise God. Amen. I hope
19:00
Speaker 1: you believe in the Lord who allowed you to get
19:03
Speaker 1: the wealth, because he gave you the health to get
19:06
Speaker 1: the wealth. Praise the Lord, but use that resource and
19:10
Speaker 1: help people. Amen. I always say, you give this ministry
19:15
Speaker 1: a million dollars, I'm gonna figure out a way how
19:16
Speaker 1: to give it all back to the community, to people,
19:19
Speaker 1: to other ministries or the families. I will invest some
19:23
Speaker 1: of that money a man, of course, and the Bible
19:26
Speaker 1: says it's why to invest what you get. Amen. But
19:30
Speaker 1: I will find a way to give that back out
19:32
Speaker 1: to the community and to eradicate some things for people
19:36
Speaker 1: who've been struggling in certain areas. Radicate certain things and
19:40
Speaker 1: bills that ministries and church has been struggling in those areas. Amen.
19:46
Speaker 1: I know people don't believe I'd rather have a million
19:49
Speaker 1: souls saved than a million dollars. But if you give
19:51
Speaker 1: me a million dollars, I'm still going after those million souls. Amen.
19:55
Speaker 1: It's not to hoard, it's not to store up the
19:57
Speaker 1: riches just to say I'm somebody now or I drive
20:00
Speaker 1: this so I have that, not none of that. Anybody
20:03
Speaker 1: who knows me knows that you have to pull some
20:06
Speaker 1: things out of me of what I'm doing, Amen. Because
20:09
Speaker 1: I don't go around bragging about what I do, but
20:11
Speaker 1: I will go around about bragging about my Lord, about
20:14
Speaker 1: my Jesus, about my God. Amen. Because he's holy, he's loving,
20:18
Speaker 1: he's kind, he's amazing, he's eternal man, he's merciful, full
20:24
Speaker 1: of grace. There's nothing like my Lord. And when you're
20:27
Speaker 1: following him, you actually are the richest. Among the richest
20:31
Speaker 1: people on this earth are the people who have the
20:34
Speaker 1: Savior in their heart, who know where all our riches
20:38
Speaker 1: come from, Who know who owns all the riches and
20:41
Speaker 1: the cattle and everything here on the earth. How about
20:44
Speaker 1: this one? There's a long one, though. First Corinthians shop
20:48
Speaker 1: the number three verses eleven to fifteen. First Corinthians shop
20:51
Speaker 1: the number three verses eleven to fifteen. For no one
20:55
Speaker 1: can lay any foundation other than the one already laid,
20:59
Speaker 1: which is Jesus Christ. He's the ultimate foundation. When you're
21:03
Speaker 1: standing on the rock of ages, Amen, you're standing on
21:07
Speaker 1: the firm foundation. If any man builds on this foundation
21:12
Speaker 1: using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his
21:17
Speaker 1: work will be shown for what it is, because the
21:19
Speaker 1: day will bring it to light. It will be revealed
21:23
Speaker 1: with fire, and the fire will test the quality of
21:27
Speaker 1: each man's work. If what he has built survives, he
21:32
Speaker 1: will receive his reward. Amen, it's something coming. If it
21:37
Speaker 1: is burned up, he will what suffer loss. He himself
21:42
Speaker 1: will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
21:48
Speaker 1: It's a heart issue, Amen. Being rich is a heart
21:52
Speaker 1: issue sometimes because I've met rich people and I'm thinking
21:57
Speaker 1: the assumption was they're gonna be so happy, so kind
22:01
Speaker 1: a man, so generous, and out of I met millionaires
22:06
Speaker 1: I know millionaires, and thank God, the millionaires I know
22:09
Speaker 1: are in Most millionaires I know are in the Kingdom
22:12
Speaker 1: of God, and they're generous. I think the reason why
22:15
Speaker 1: the millionaires because they live a generous life and they're humble.
22:18
Speaker 1: But I've met some other millionaires amen, locally that are
22:24
Speaker 1: not so kind, and they're not so humble, and they're
22:29
Speaker 1: not so cool to be around. Amen. They actually look frustrated.
22:34
Speaker 1: It's it's just an amazing difference between a rich person
22:38
Speaker 1: who has riches stored up here on earth and a
22:41
Speaker 1: brother or sister and the lord who is wealthy, who
22:45
Speaker 1: has known the facts about how they got those riches,
22:51
Speaker 1: and they use what they have their resources. They'men to
22:54
Speaker 1: help others and how their life is. They're kind, they're gentle,
22:58
Speaker 1: a man, they're happy, they have joy and man. And
23:01
Speaker 1: the most important thing to me when it comes to
23:04
Speaker 1: riches in a person's life is are you humble, amen?
23:08
Speaker 1: Or are you just flaunting everything you have? I know
23:11
Speaker 1: I've told you the story probably a thousand times about
23:14
Speaker 1: the three millionaires I picked up at the casino. I
23:18
Speaker 1: was doing Lyft or uber, one of those. And yeah,
23:22
Speaker 1: so I drove these three millionaires. And there's reasons why.
23:24
Speaker 1: How I know the millionaires. They're well known people in
23:28
Speaker 1: the Lea Valley and they have businesses and whatever. But
23:32
Speaker 1: the thing is, they're very five millionaires. And there was
23:35
Speaker 1: an older gentleman and two younger gentlemen. They're probably a
23:39
Speaker 1: little older than me, but I know for sure. The
23:42
Speaker 1: last gentleman, the last person I dropped off, was the
23:45
Speaker 1: oldest of them all. He was retired banker, amen, and
23:49
Speaker 1: he was married, very humble, very quiet, while the other
23:53
Speaker 1: two were bickering about their wives. And this that the
23:56
Speaker 1: third and then every time I would drop I dropped
23:58
Speaker 1: the first one off, he said, hey, driver, checked this out,
24:01
Speaker 1: took out his phone, lit up his whole pool. It
24:04
Speaker 1: had this whole thing going on in his pool. It
24:06
Speaker 1: was at night. I was picking him up at night.
24:08
Speaker 1: It looked like daylight when he turned on that switch
24:10
Speaker 1: on his phone. And then he said, look at my garages,
24:13
Speaker 1: looking at my house. And he was telling me that
24:15
Speaker 1: his other family members lived on that property and this
24:18
Speaker 1: that the third and he even made me get out
24:21
Speaker 1: to see some things that he had cars, and I
24:24
Speaker 1: was like, in my mind, I was like, Okay, why
24:27
Speaker 1: you showing me all of this. Hope, I hope you're
24:29
Speaker 1: gonna tip me well, or you're gonna give me tips
24:32
Speaker 1: of hockey a teen all of these things. Nothing. It
24:34
Speaker 1: was just a brag. He was bragging against the other guy,
24:38
Speaker 1: and then the other guy after when I dropped them off,
24:41
Speaker 1: he was overstating the fact that he had three hundred
24:44
Speaker 1: thousand dollars in his basement just at his disposal for
24:48
Speaker 1: a bad day. He said, he's telling the banker this,
24:51
Speaker 1: and I could tell that the banker was like just listening,
24:54
Speaker 1: but he wasn't really concerned with what he was saying.
24:57
Speaker 1: He was sober as well a man, and the other
25:00
Speaker 1: the ones were a little bit, you know, intoxicated, just
25:03
Speaker 1: a little bit. When I got to this second millionaire's house,
25:06
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, driver, check out what I have.
25:09
Speaker 1: He went on his phone, lit up his pool. They
25:11
Speaker 1: had more slides and had more things. He had tank
25:15
Speaker 1: car garage. Yeah, and one of those garages he opened up.
25:21
Speaker 1: He said, tell me if I've ever seen this in
25:23
Speaker 1: the garage, and when he opened it up, it was
25:25
Speaker 1: like a stable with horses, like air conditioning stable whatever.
25:30
Speaker 1: Then he had the r RV. You know, great life.
25:35
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know why they wanted to impress
25:38
Speaker 1: me with all that stuff. It was impressive to see,
25:41
Speaker 1: but deep down, I'm like, but your heart and your
25:45
Speaker 1: attitude is horrible, and you're not happy and you're talking
25:49
Speaker 1: about your bibs and nah. So that wasn't it for me.
25:53
Speaker 1: So then I'm just thinking in my mind, cardinal mind. Right,
25:56
Speaker 1: I was like, I only get a great tip. These
25:58
Speaker 1: are three millionaires. He gets out, and then boom, I
26:03
Speaker 1: get the wisdom from the last millionaire that was in
26:06
Speaker 1: the car, and he says, I apologize this first thing.
26:10
Speaker 1: He said, for those two they're always competing against each
26:13
Speaker 1: other and they both don't have to work another day
26:16
Speaker 1: of their lives, but they're always competing of what one
26:18
Speaker 1: has and over the other. But he says, you know
26:21
Speaker 1: why they're like that. And I said no. He says,
26:23
Speaker 1: cause they put all their efforts and all their money
26:27
Speaker 1: is based upon what this world is offering. It has
26:30
Speaker 1: no other value. And he said me, I'm a retired banker.
26:35
Speaker 1: I'm a millionaire as well, but I don't have as
26:37
Speaker 1: many millions as day do. But I have a may
26:39
Speaker 1: that I've been married this time of the third. Then he
26:41
Speaker 1: dropped some knowledge and wisdom and understanding. And guess what,
26:45
Speaker 1: he's the only one who tipped me. He gave me
26:47
Speaker 1: a couple, you know, twenty bucks or whatever it was.
26:50
Speaker 1: I guess they don't carry cash. If a millionaire you
26:52
Speaker 1: don't carry I don't know. But I was filled up
26:56
Speaker 1: more with that conversation than I was looking at everything
27:00
Speaker 1: that the other two had, because the riches of this
27:03
Speaker 1: world really don't impress me. When impresses me is when
27:06
Speaker 1: someone is wealthy and they're using their wealth to help
27:09
Speaker 1: communities and help families and other ministries, and they are
27:13
Speaker 1: inspired by Holy Spirit of God. Very impressive, and those
27:16
Speaker 1: are eternal riches. I hope you get what I'm saying.
27:19
Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy your weekend if you have time.
27:22
Speaker 1: Read Matthew chapter six the whole chapter for yourself. Let
27:25
Speaker 1: me just send you off for a blessing. God bless
27:27
Speaker 1: you all, got keep you all and remember, always, remember
27:31
Speaker 1: always that God is good. Peace,
