ILL GOTTEN GAIN

Proverbs 10:2 Ill-gotten gains do not profit, But righteousness delivers from death. 

Wealth gained through violence, dishonesty, bribes, or murder has limited value. When we obtain wealth illegally, it doesn't last. Righteousness, on the other hand, will not only deliver us, but it gives us new birth, as well as eternal life. 

Father, we know You will not allow the righteous to famish and as long as we are diligent and aggressive in Your Word, we will succeed. Lord, let us be wise and value Your knowledge, help us store it up for the appropriate moments. Father, help those without work gain employment because wealth gain by hard work is a blessing and it last.  Father, help us force on the things of the Spirit; that is positive and productive, not sinful and destructive, as the flesh. Lord, give us a strong desire for Your Word and give us ears; that listen to Your voice, that help us stay on the right path.  Father, let not the desire of money wealth, led us astray and others.  Father, let not our wealth be obtained by fraud, hate, or greed, but by labor or inheritance, so it will increases. In Jesus name Amen
