Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain...1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NIV)

THREE “I WILLS” ON THE WAY TO BEING RICH

1.  I WILL ADMIT THAT I AM RICH
Command those who are rich in this present world ...1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NIV)

2.  I WILL REFUSE TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT BEING RICH
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 1 Timothy 6:17 (NIV)

Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work—this is a gift of God. Ecclesiastes 5:19 (NIV)

3.  I WILL LEARN TO ACT RESPONSIBLY WITH MY RICHES
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. 1 Timothy 6:18-19 (NIV)
