Are We Actually Trusting in Wealth and Forgetting Eternity?!

The message of Luke 12:15–21 is a sobering, timeless word from Jesus that strikes right into our modern context — especially today, when many trust in their bank balance more than their God. Let’s walk through it with exhortation. 🔥 Luke 12:15–21: A Parable for the Bank-Balance Generation "Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; life does not consist in an abundance of possessions." – Luke 12:15 Jesus tells the story of a rich man whose land yielded abundantly. The man didn't thank God or think of how to use the surplus for others. Instead, he planned bigger barns — a bigger vault — saying to himself, “You have plenty… take life easy, eat, drink and be merry.” But God said: “You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you.” 💔 Today's Version? "My savings are intact. I have fixed deposits, crypto holdings, a pension plan. I'm secure." But are we? What if eternity knocks tonight? What if the true bankruptcy is not financial, but spiritual? The man's sin was not wealth — it was his false security and self-centeredness. He planned for many years ahead but not for one moment of standing before God. 📉 Bank Faith Is a Failing Currency In today's world: We measure people by their net worth. We feel safe only when we see a certain amount in the account. We call it “planning” — but many times it’s just fear wearing a suit. Yet Jesus says: "This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God." (v.21) We may be rich in data, dollars, or dividends, but are we rich toward God? Have we invested in eternity? ✨ EXHORTATION TO THE CHURCH AND THE WORLD Let us rise and declare boldly: Life is not defined by your account balance. God is not impressed with your vaults. No bank holds your soul. No currency can pay for your peace. No savings can extend your life by one breath. Today, if your trust is in money — repent. If your identity is in wealth — return to the Cross. If your hope is in tomorrow’s returns — shift your gaze to Jesus, who alone holds eternity. #Luke12 #FaithOverFinance #EternalPerspective #JesusSaves #KingdomPriorities #RichTowardGod #ChristianFinance #EndTimeWarning
