Why is he precious to me? He is my Lord and the sss, mercy, grace, love, and why do I sing? Why is he precious to me? Lord, Here now is HMS Richards. The voice of prophecy. Speaker is subject, the man who talked to his soul. Money is a sort of crystallized energy. If money is the symbol of value of all that this mortal life means to men, then we might say that money is blood, sweat and tears. Using the words of one of the great masters of our language. Money is a handy medium of exchange to almost everybody on earth and to millions. It's a God or idol, but dedicated money is doing great things for God and his church on earth today passing through the multiplying fingers of our Lord Jesus Christ. Like the lows and fishes of old it meets the spiritual and physical demands of multitudes. Dedicated money preaches the gospel of God's grace to the millions. It teaches divine truth to our children. It helps the needy feeds the hungry, close the naked. It goes to the uttermost parts of the earth with a message of the cross and our savior's redeeming sacrifice for men. Truly dedicated money makes possible the ministry of teaching healing and salvation commanded by our Lord Jesus Christ himself. The question is, are we and our money dedicated? How are we employing this symbol of value, this concentrated essence of energy? Do we spend our money for that which is not breaded as we read in Isaiah 55, 2 even for things positively harmful here in our own country of America, we spend over 6 billion every year for liquor. Every year, $2 billion go up in in tobacco smoke. We throw away six and a half billion in gambling and while billions of us spent not merely for that which is not needful, but for that which is actually hurtful, God's work is largely neglected in many areas. Jesus was the world's authority on the money question. One day while teaching mighty spiritual truths, he was suddenly interrupted A man in the audience cried out, master speak to my brother that he divided the inheritance with me. And Jesus replied, man, who made me a judge or divider over you? And he said unto them, take heed and beware of covetousness for a man's life. Consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesses or as good speed paraphrases it. A man's life does not belong to him no matter how rich he is. Luke 1213 and onward, there were lawyers and judges to care for such financial controversies. Jesus did not deny the need for some settlement in the man's case, the need for judges and deciders and dividers, but he brushed aside the immediate occasion and focused attention on the basic cause of the man's trouble. Covetousness what was his greatest concern? Justice or the money? Spiritual truths evidently had no hold in his mind. He saw an opportunity here to use the good influence and power of Jesus to his own advantage. Like the man with a muck rake in bunions, immortal allegory, his eyes were fixed on the earth. He couldn't see the crown above his head. The spiritual kingdom which Christ was offering to everyone. Like Simon MEUs of old, he valued the gift of God only as a means of worldly. Again, our savior came to establish the kingdom of his grace. Yet here human greed faced him and would've turned him back from his work and occupied him in a dispute over a piece of land or other property. But he was not diverted from his mission man. He said, who made me a judge or a divider over you? He virtually said, it is not my work to settle controversies of this kind. He came for another purpose to preach the gospel and to arouse men to a sense of eternal realities. Christ's treatment of this case is a lesson to all who minister in his name. When he sent forth his disciples, he said, as you go preach, saying the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Matthew 10, seven. They were not to settle at temporal affairs of the people. Their work was to persuade men to be reconciled to God, the gospel of his grace and that alone can cure the evils that curse society. Let the servants of Christ preach the gospel with the spirit sent down from heaven and work as he did for the benefit of man. Then such results will be manifest in the blessing and uplifting of mankind as our holy impossible of accomplishment by human power. Our savior struck at the very root of the affair that troubled this man and all similar disputes when he said, take heed, beware of covetousness for a man's life, consisteth not in the abundance of things. Then Jesus told a story that will never be forgotten as long as time lasts. The story of the man who talked to his soul, we might call it the monologue of a fool. Here it is in Luke 1216 to 21 and he spoke up parable under them saying the ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully and he thought within himself saying, what shall I do because I have no room where to bestow my fruits. And he said, this will I do, I will pull down my barns and bill greater and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods and I will say to my soul, soul, thou has much goods laid up for many years. Take thy drink and be merry. But God said unto him, th fool this night, I soul shall be required of the then who shall those things be, which thou has provided. So is he that layeth up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God is my grandmother used to remind me there are no pockets in shrouds. We can take nothing out of this world. We can take none of our money with us when we leave it. The only possible way to transfer treasure from here to there is to follow the instruction of Jesus when he said, lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust, death corrupt and where thieves do not break through North Steel. Matthew six 20. And we do that by investing in God's kingdom here. And so we find it credited to us over there. My grandfather took part in the great Alaskan gold rush. He was an Ernest Christian circulated Christian literature wherever he went in the great Northland. As a result, I've always been interested in the Klondike gold rush. Soon after that great excitement, an old Alaskan minor got off the train in New York City. His clothes were ragged. He carried all his belongings in a large bag. He claimed he had been robbed of $400 on the train. He was without funds and destitute taken to the offices of the Traveler's aid society. He was given sleeping quarters and meals. After several weeks he became very ill and died. The officials who took inventory of his bag were amazed to find $54,000 in government bonds, $60,000 in bank deposits in San Francisco and other places, and $5,000 in jewelry besides 1,900 in cash in a money belt around his body. He was a poor, rich meiser and lived on public charity in order to accumulate a little more money. But when he died, how much did he leave every cent of it? Covetousness is a a disease of the soul. In Christ's dramatic story, the foolish rich man did not recognize that he was God's steward. There were plenty of places where his money could have been used to help the needy to bless the world. He couldn't see them. He thought only of ministering to his own comfort. He actually thought that all he possessed belonged to him personally. What about the poor, the orphan, the widow, the suffering, the afflicted, the sick, the uneducated and above all those who were born and die in spiritual darkness and ignorance. The man talked to his soul about none of these people. He talked only about himself, his own desires. He lived as if there were no God, no heaven, no future life. The psalmus described this rich man when he wrote. The fool has said in his heart, there's no God. Psalm 14, one, while this man was talking to his soul, making plans for years of enjoyment, God was making different plans for him. The message came to him, THK this night, thy soul shall be required of the here's a demand that money cannot change. And it's true of all man, the one and only thing that would've been valuable to him then He's not secured in living for self. He has rejected that divine love which would've flowed out in mercy to his fellow man. So you see, he rejected life. For God is love and love is life. This man who talked to his soul made a failure of life. Some of the world's richest men have realized and admitted that money itself doesn't satisfy the soul. John Jacob Astor, who had raised himself by his own abilities from poverty and became one of the wealthiest citizens of the United States on his deathbed, asked for a pencil and paper and wrote, my life has been a failure. Certainly not financially. Why did God call this man who talked to his soul? Fool? Two reasons. First, he thought that a life of secure and abundant earthly enjoyment was the highest form of happiness. Second, because when he rec acquired the means for obtaining this, he thought he had a long lease on that enjoyment. No other fault is found to the man. But these two things, if we make the enjoyment of things, no matter what things first in life, we make our greatest mistake possible because of our as we are concerned, they end when time ends for us. What is the first in our life? God, his kingdom, righteousness, holiness the service of God and of others. Or is Is a new house a better house? A bigger house? Finer furniture, newer electronic gadgets, more expensive automobiles, A finer television set, an on and on out infinitum. That's not life. God's favor is treasure. Good works are riches. The wisdom which is from above is more precious than rubies. And if we do not have these true riches, we live and die as beggars. Remember this friend one's life is made secure, not by things but by triumph over things. This is not by self-discipline alone as out of the ancient stoics, but it is the gift of God. But thanks Peter God, which give with us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. One Corinthians 1557, one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things which he possesses, but it does consist in abundance of another sort. It's through him who loved us and gave himself for us that we can in all things be more than conquerors. Romans 8 37 to know this love, the love of God which cannot be separated from the child of God and which is receded by faith through the grace of God is to be rich. Indeed, it is the spirit of the devil to get the spirit of Christ, to give, to sacrifice self for the good of others. He that has the son has life and he that has not the son of God has not life. One. John five 12. If we talk to our souls today, what shall we say? Shall it not be this soul? All that I have belongs to God, life itself. Every breath, every heartbeat is a gift from him. What shall I do? I will give myself to him fully, completely all that I have an am for his service to be a blessing to humanity. Christ died from me and through his atoning sacrifice on the cross, I have eternal life. All that I have an am through his redemption is dedicated to him to be used to bless the world. When Robert Dollar President of the Dollar Steamship Company sustained a heavy loss to the sinking of one of his ships, not fully insured, he lay worrying night after night. This must stop. He said to himself, I did not know that I loved money so much. I'm thinking more about the dollar and the than the dollar myself. I will write a check for the amount of my loss and give it to the Lord. And so he did. For there he is a gain that is loss and a loss that is gain as the poor rich man learned that night who talked to his soul, Neither silver nor gold, I would make heaven. I would enter in the Book of Kingdom with its Tell me Jesus, my Savior is my name. Is my name Written There on the page, all that beauty glory, where the yes my name written, yes my, yes, my name's. May God help us to be obedient to him and to keep looking up going forward in faith Radio friends, as we go forward in faith, one of the most important things for all of us to do is to pray the voice of prophecy as a special prayer service. Every Thursday at eight o'clock in the morning, we all gather together and pray for those who've written to us. We wonder if you wouldn't like to join that worldwide prayer circle by praying for us, for yourselves, for others. At eight o'clock on Thursday morning. Have faith in God in all we do and say, have faith in God. Seek now His will his way. Have faith in God. Make first things first. Today. Have faith, dear friend in God. And now we invite you to join us again next week at the same time for another transcribed broadcast brought to you by the Voice of prophecy. The Lord bless the and keep the the Lord make his face shine upon the, and be gracious unto the the Lord. Lift up his countenance upon the, and give the peace And.
