Silver and Gold have I None

Silver and Gold have I none

How would you like to obtain something more valuable than money, more valuable than Gold or silver, more valuable than diamonds or any precious stones?

How would you like to receive something that would free you from all the things that concern mankind?

Today’s teaching is for those of us who have failed to understand that there is something far more valuable than earthly riches, for those of us who are living our lives in bondage to this world’s system.

Our teaching begins in the book of Acts chapter 3 where we find two of Jesus apostles Peter and John were on their way into a temple to teach and fellowship, when they came across a man begging for silver and gold (money).

They responded to the man saying, “Silver and gold (money) have we none, but such as I have I give unto you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” Acts 3:6

Notice that what the beggar received of them gave the man the power to rise up, notice that what they gave this man gave him the ability to walk, only the Word of God can do this for a man.

Silver and gold (money) does not allow you to rise up above the concerns of this world, they do not allow you to walk free of this world’s system, which are ran by the devil.

Silver and gold (money), does not have any real importance to a true servant of God, but the words of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ are extremely valuable.

True disciples like Peter and John knew this for Jesus commanded his disciples to go out into the world to preach and they were not to carry silver and gold (money) for it is written, “ provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses. Matthew 10:9

As we had seen in the book of Acts, Jesus disciples remained obedient even after He had died and risen for silver and gold (money) had they none, but they still had something far more valuable which was the Word of God.

Do you have something more valuable than silver and gold (money) to offer the lost souls of this world?

Jesus told a parable about a rich man who had plenty of silver and gold (money) to offer to those in need as well as his love ones. Luke 16:19

Jesus also mentioned a poor man named Lazarus who did not have silver and gold (money) but possessed something far more valuable, The Word of God. Luke 16:20-21

Jesus continues on by telling us that the two of them had past on from this world into the after life so that he could teach us what was more valuable to have, silver and gold, or the Word of God? Luke 16:22

Jesus tells us which of these two had the greater value for it is written, “ But Abraham said unto the rich man, Son remember that you in your lifetime received good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted and you are tormented.” Luke 16:25

Silver and gold in this life, will not help you receive eternal life, however those who may not have silver and gold in this evil world, can receive eternal life when they are living a life founded on the Word of God.

Silver and gold have we none, but the Word of God we have plenty!

Satan has blinded the people of today through false doctrine to believe that the Word of God is not enough.

He has numbed the people to the power of the Word of God, the power to stand in the time of trouble, the power to love people when they hate you, the power to recover from your mistakes, the power to survive without this world’s provisions, the power to over come this evil world!

“Silver and gold have we none, but such as I have I give unto you.”

I pray that you receive this Gift that I am offering you today!

Please receive the most valuable Gift you will ever be given, take the Word of God!

Take it, study it, learn it, for it is written, “ This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but you shall meditate therein day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.” Joshua 1:8

After you have received the Word of God give it to your children from the time they are born for it is written,
“ And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in your heart: And you shall teach them diligently unto your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lay down, and when you rise up.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7

After you have put away the evil teaching of silver and gold (money), share to true riches of the Word of God, that you may learn who your true family and friends are for our Savior said, “ Who is my mother, sister, and brothers? And he looked around about on them which sat with him and said, “ Behold my mother and my brothers! For who so ever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Mark 3:33-35

After the true revelation of this gift has settled in you, then share it with the world for it is written, “ preach the word, be instant in season, out of season: reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” 2nd Timothy 4:2

And again, “ Jesus said, “ What I reveal unto your ears, you are to preach upon the housetops.” Matthew 10:27

The Word of God is far more valuable than silver and gold (money); I pray that you get your priorities in order before the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ.

Remember God’s Word is not forced upon anyone; a person must come to the understanding that the Word of God is more valuable than silver and gold (money) on their own.

The Word will make you free!

Until next time I love you
