  4. LUKE 12:16-18 “And He told them a story, saying, “The land of a certain rich man was very productive. And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’ And he said, ‘This is what I will l do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.’

  5. LUKE 12:199-21 ‘And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take you ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’ But God said to him, ‘You Fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared? So is the man who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

  6. SUCCESS AND ABUNDANCE:A GREAT PROBLEM TO HAVE! *more money than you can spend *more food than you can eat *more clothes than you can wear *more TV’s than you can watch *more rings than you have fingers *more homes than you can live in *more lawn than you can mow *more yachts than you can sail *more planes than you can fly More, more, more, more, more

  9. COMPARING OWNERSHP TO STEWARDSHIP THE ISSUE OF SOURCE: WHERE DID IT ALL COME FROM? OWNERSHIP: MY POSSESSIONS ARE MINE! BECAUSE: I DID IT! I DESERVE IT! IT IS ALL MINE! STEWARDSHIP: EVERYTHING I HAVE IS FROM GOD! EVERYTHING I HAVE BELONGS TO GOD! WHAT I HAVE IS ON LOAN TO ME FOR A SEASON!

  12. LESSONS FOR MY LIFE TODAY #1: BE CAREFUL THAT WE ARE NOT SO FOCUSED ON THE THINGS WE HAVE THAT WE EXCLUDE GOD FROM OUR LIVES! “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” Mark 8:36,37

  13. LESSONS FOR MY LIFE TODAY #2. BE CAREFUL ABOUT MAKING YOUR PLANS FOR TOMORROW WITHOUT ANY REGARD FOR GOD - BE SURE TO CONSIDER HIM! “I will tear down my barns and build greater…” Luke 12:18 “…you don’t know what your life will be tomorrow. You are like a vapor that appears for a little while and vanishes away. You should say, ‘If the Lord wills, we will do this or that.’” James 4:14,15

  14. LESSONS FOR MY LIFE TODAY #3. BECAREFUL OF BECOMING BLIND – THE WORST KIND OF BLINDNESS IS THE ‘EYE’ PROBLEM OF PRIDE! THE ‘I’ IS ALWAYS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE! “I have no place…” “This is what I will do” “I will tear down my barns” “I will build greater ones” “I will store my grain…” “I will say to my soul”

  15. LESSONS FOR MY LIFE TODAY #4. BE CAREFUL TO REMEMBER THAT WE ARE REALLY STEWARDS (MANAGERS OF WHAT REALLY BELONGS TO GOD) AND NOT OWNERS THEREFORE, HOLD WHAT EVER YOU HAVE IN AN OPEN HAND!

  16. HOW SHOULD I LIVE LIFE WITH THE THINGS I HAVE AND DON’T HAVE? • LIVE WITH APPRECIATION AND THANKSGIVING TO GOD FOR WHAT I HAVE , WHETHER IS BE MUCH OR LITTLE! “I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am. I know how to get along with humble means and how to live in prosperity. I have learned the secret of having and not having…” Philippians 4:11,12 HAVE A THANKFUL HEART!

  17. HOW SHOULD I LIVE LIFE WITH THE THINGS I HAVE AND DON’T HAVE? • USE WHAT EVER I HAVE, WHETHER IT BE MUCH OR LITTLE TO SERVE GOD AND TO HELP OTHERS! HAVE A SERVING HEART!

  18. HOW SHOULD I LIVE LIFE WITH THE THINGS I HAVE AND DON’T HAVE? • HOLD WHATEVER I HAVE, WHETHER IT BE MUCH OR LITTLE, IN OPEN HANDS, KNOWING IT IS NOT MINE TO KEEP AND THAT I HAVE TO LET IT GO SOONER OR LATER! “YOUR LIFE IS AS A VAPOR THAT APPEARS FOR A LITTLE TIME AND THEN VANISHES AWAY.” JAMES 4:14 HAVE A WISE HEART!

  19. HOW SHOULD I LIVE LIFE WITH THE THINGS I HAVE AND DON’T HAVE! #4. IF I HAPPEN TO HAVE LITTLE INSTEAD OF MUCH, ADMIRE WHAT OTHERS HAVE WITHOUT ENVY, RECOGNIZING THAT THEIR BURDEN IN LIFE IS DIFFERENT FROM MINE! HAVE A FREE HEART!

  20. HOW SHOULD I LIVE LIFE WITH THE THINGS I HAVE AND DON’T HAVE? #5. WHETHER I HAVE MUCH OR LITTLE, I SHOULD NEVER NEGLECT NOR FORGET THE IMPORTANCE OF MY OWN SOUL AND MAKE SURE OF IT’S ETERNAL FUTURE. HAVE A PREPARED HEART!
