Turn with me to two openings, please.

Proverbs, they'll put it up on the screen for us.

And then Luke.

We've been looking at scriptures all this week in the book of Proverbs chapter 28 and verse 20.

And then we're going to Luke chapter 16.

We've been talking all this week about next level.

The Lord's been talking to us here at the church in this ministry for over a couple of years now,

about the next level and about going to a whole another level in ability and reach

and scope.

And so many times when people think about reaching another level of ability and reach they think well the main thing we need

are resources I need money I need stuff I need partners I need one and that's not true

that's not so that's not the main thing you need.

In Proverbs the 28th chapter and the 20th verse is the main thing you need.

The Bible said a faithful man shall abound with blessings.

Hallelujah.

But he that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent.

What kind of man or woman is going to abound with blessings?

Faithful man.

Let me read some of the translations.

Young's literal says a steadfast man has multiplied blessings. The complete Jewish Bible says a trustworthy person will receive many blessings. People who can

be trusted will have many blessings, the easy to read says.

Our main objective is not to be rich.
