A rich man wanted to show his son how poor someone can be without Christ. He took him on a trip to a village. After they had spent time on the farm of a poor family, he asked his son, “what did you learn?” His son replied, “we have one dog, they have four, we buy foods, they grow theirs, we have walls to protect us, they have friends; we have encyclopedias, they have Bible”.

What a great lesson! Most children derive pleasure in extra home lessons; birthday parties and television shows than studying God's Word or attending Church Programmes. Some lack the ability to memorize God's word. They rather know cartoon characters, music artist and memorizing worldly songs.

While others take pride in the big houses and cars their parents own. The life of every child is empty without Christ. Earthly riches will vanish over time.

True riches lie in God's Word. Therefore, give yourself to studying the word and memorizing it. Let the word dwell in you, therein lies your riches in Christ Jesus.
