A spoilt child is never satisfied. He wants every new toy and gadget that hits the market.

An overindulgent child will drive his parents into bankruptcy if they are not careful.

Do you know that some Christians are similar to the spoilt child? Everytime that they talk to God it is to ask for something.

Fortunately, the Lord is wiser than us and He will not succumb to our greed and lust.

Before God promotes you to a higher level He will first send you through the wilderness so that you will learn humility and patience.

Before God gives you wealth He will give you wisdom because wealth without wisdom will lead to death and destruction.

Proverbs 30 listed four things that are never satisfied. These are death, a barren woman, dry ground, and wildfire. They are likened to a greedy person.

A person who is greedy will walk in the way of Cain and will receive the mark of sin (death). Their greed will make them run hastily to gain profit like Balaam.

Greed can also lead to rebellion against authority, and similar to Korah, they will be swallowed up by an insatiable ground (Numbers 16).

There are people whose teeth are like swords and their jaws like knives. They take everything they can from the poor.

Greedy people know only two things: “Give me,” and “Give me.” There are three other things that are never satisfied—really, four things that never have enough: the place of death, a woman with no children, dry ground that needs rain, and a fire that will never stop by itself. (Proverbs 30:14-15)

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God. Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us. In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction. Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds. You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com. You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine. View all posts by Beverley
