Riches In The House Of The Righteous

God promises both wealth and riches to the family of the righteous. The righteous are to respect the Lord and delight in the commandments of giving.

Psalms 112:1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.

The Believer is one who walks in continuous praise unto God. He respects and reverences God. He is delighted to obey the Lord’s commandments.

He also teaches this way of life to his children. And because of this, God speaks of four blessings that will be in his house:

1) His children will be mighty on the earth.

2) His children will be blessed by God.

3) Wealth and riches will be in his own house.

4) His righteousness will endure forever.

These are the blessings of the one who reverences the Lord and obeys His commandments. One of His commandments has to do with giving. “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house…” (Malachi 3:10). Are you obeying the Lord’s commandments today in your giving? I trust that you are. If so, then you have every right to claim the blessings of this passage of scripture for you and your household.

Offering Admonition/Confession

We are giving today knowing that God is blessing our house. God said our “descendants will be mighty on earth, wealth and riches shall be in our house. This is God’s Word. It does not fail.

We have an obligation to obey each command of the Lord that he will make our way prosperous.

God bless you.
