VIII. MAIN BODY:
CHRIST is both the Wisdom and Power from GOD.
1 Corinthians 1:30 (Amplified Bible)
1:30 But it is from Him that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God, [revealed to us a knowledge of the divine plan of salvation previously hidden, manifesting itself as] our Righteousness [thus making us upright and putting us in right standing with God], and our Consecration [making us pure and holy], and our Redemption [providing our ransom from eternal penalty for sin].
A. Riches and wisdom are with CHRIST
"Riches and honor are with me,"
Don't meditate on getting rich and getting honors, but meditate on JESUS CHRIST, and you'll have these both.
Hebrews 12:2 (Amplified Bible)
12:2 Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
On the contrary if you seek these things rather than focusing on the LORD JESUS CHRIST, you'll missed out the life, GOD has in store for you, and you'll entangle yourself with thorns in this world.
Matthew 13:22 (Amplified Bible)
13:22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is he who hears the Word, but the cares of the world and the pleasure and delight and glamour and deceitfulness of riches choke and suffocate the Word, and it yields no fruit.
Proverbs 23:4 (Amplified Bible)
23:4 Weary not yourself to be rich; cease from your own [human] wisdom.
GOD will be the One to Work to store up blessings for us, while the wicked store wealth (with sorrow) for himself.
Psalms 31:19 (Amplified Bible)
31:19 Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear, revere, and worship You, goodness which You have wrought for those who trust and take refuge in You before the sons of men!
Psalms 31:19 (New Revised Standard Version)
31:19 O how abundant is your goodness that you have laid up for those who fear you, and accomplished for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of everyone!
Luke 12:18-21 (Amplified Bible)
12:18 And he said, I will do this: I will pull down my storehouses and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain or produce and my goods.
12:19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up, [enough] for many years. Take your ease; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself merrily.
12:20 But God said to him, You fool! This very night they [the messengers of God] will demand your soul of you; and all the things that you have prepared, whose will they be?
12:21 So it is with the one who continues to lay up and hoard possessions for himself and is not rich [in his relation] to God [this is how he fares].
What we need to "hoard" is the richness of our relationship with the LORD JESUS CHRIST and the LORD JESUS CHRIST will store up, laid up, blessings (spirit, soul and body prosperity with no sorrow).
Proverbs 10:22 (Amplified Bible)
10:22 The blessing of the Lord—it makes [truly] rich, and He adds no sorrow with it [neither does toiling increase it].
Psalms 37:4 (Amplified Bible)
37:4 Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.
The focus of our heart is not to get rich and famous, but the focus of our heart is to build up our relationship with CHRIST and CHRIST will take care of us luxuriously.
Philippians 4:19 (Amplified Bible)
4:19 And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Matthew 6:19-20 (Amplified Bible)
6:19 Do not gather and heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal.
6:20 But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal;
B. Enduring wealth and righteousness are with CHRIST
"enduring wealth and righteousness (uprightness in every area and relation, and right standing with God)."
Wealth and righteousness is a difficult combination, no one in this world who are rich or made rich by themselves can really truly say they have not cheated in business. But in this wealth that GOD will multiply to us, will be pure wealth with no sorrow and added with righteousness, that we can really say to people GOD made me rich righteously and not by my own efforts. Yes, ungodly wealth disappears fast but GODLy wealth stays.
Ephesians 3:8 (Amplified Bible)
3:8 To me, though I am the very least of all the saints (God’s consecrated people), this grace (favor, privilege) was granted and graciously entrusted: to proclaim to the Gentiles the unending (boundless, fathomless, incalculable, and exhaustless) riches of Christ [wealth which no human being could have searched out],
Luke 10:42 (Amplified Bible)
10:42 There is need of only one or but a few things. Mary has chosen the good portion [that which is to her advantage], which shall not be taken away from her.
2 Corinthians 6:10 (Amplified Bible)
6:10 As grieved and mourning, yet [we are] always rejoicing; as poor [ourselves, yet] bestowing riches on many; as having nothing, and [yet in reality] possessing all things.
When JESUS our LORD, said to Mary, sister of Martha, one thing is needed or good portion, in Greek, it says "One Man" and that is the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
IX. CONCLUSION:
The LORD JESUS CHRIST is the One Man in my heart, mind and soul. I focus my whole being on the relationship I have with the LORD JESUS CHRIST. I focus myself on building my relationship with the LORD JESUS CHRIST thru His Words. CHRIST is both my Wisdom and Power from GOD. JESUS is in me, I have JESUS, I have everything.
Colossians 2:2-3 (Amplified Bible)
2:2 [For my concern is] that their hearts may be braced (comforted, cheered, and encouraged) as they are knit together in love, that they may come to have all the abounding wealth and blessings of assured conviction of understanding, and that they may become progressively more intimately acquainted with and may know more definitely and accurately and thoroughly that mystic secret of God, [which is] Christ (the Anointed One).
2:3 In Him all the treasures of [divine] wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God) and [all the riches of spiritual] knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden.
