TOPIC: SELF AFFLICTED TROUBLE
Memory Verse: Ps. 7:15
15 He made a pit and dug it out, And has fallen into the ditch which he made.
Bible Reading: Matthew 27:3-5
3 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, 4 saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” And they said, “What is that to us? You see to it!” 5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.
DON’T BE GREEDY
Judas, one of Jesus’ disciples, brought affliction on himself which ended him in suicide. Judas sold his saviour to the enemy for “thirty pieces of silver” which couldn’t last him for a week. He later regretted his action but he couldn’t escape the consequence.
Many find themselves in their present situation because of bribe, greedy for what is not theirs. The brothers of Joseph in Genesis 37 couldn’t account for the thirty pieces of silver they sold their brother and later met him in Egypt 13 years later.
Money is a defence but can’t buy everything. It’s fails and flies away, why bringing calamity on yourself for what has temporary value? Judas returned the cash (which was rejected) but the deed has been done and can’t be undo. After a lot of thought about his action he committed suicide which means, he lost the thirty pieces of silver and lost his life. May we not make costly mistake in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
The Love of money is the root of all evil not money in itself. Fight the greed before it afflict you. Be warned.
Do Have A Lovely Day Ahead.
