“Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life to which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses. And I charge you before God, who gives life to all, and before Christ Jesus, who gave a good testimony before Pontius Pilate, that you obey this command without wavering. Then no one can find fault with you from now until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.” 1 Timothy 6:12-14 (NLT)
Don’t go after filthy riches:
“If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself.” I Timothy 6:3-5 (NKJV)
Paul is explaining how some are using their godliness to gain wealth and their minds are corrupt. So basically our lives should not revolve around like the worldly people who go after filthy riches, who do not agree with true gospel but twist the word of God, argue and bring confusion. Many deceiving teachings and false prophets are going around and we have to be careful. It is not a few believers that are called for the ministry as they project. But all are called who believes in Jesus to be disciples in the sense to be Christians. Acts 11:25-26(NKJV)
Go after glory riches:
“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. Now all glory to God our Father forever and ever! Amen.” Philippians 4:19-20 (NLT)
According to these words we come to know there is glorious riches, which God is waiting to supply to those who obey and try their best to possess eternal life. When your mind is set on things God wanted you in your life and do all those things not worrying about this life, God will arrange supernaturally to bless you from His riches that are in His glorious presence, which are more abundant and supernatural and you receive them effortlessly. God’s Name will also be glorified because all your blessings came from God without you toiling for it; which you will know for sure and also others who are watching you. This will be the best witness for you and others to know that God is with you.
“I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus who witnessed the good confession before Pontius Pilate, that you keep this commandment without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing, which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of Lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honour and everlasting power. Amen.” I Timothy 6:13-16 (NKJV)
