Neither Poverty Nor Riches

1. The Prayer of the Believing Child of God
2. The Reason for His Request
3. The Answer From God

The sermon centers on the prayer of Agur from Proverbs 30, highlighting a profound spiritual wisdom in praying for neither poverty nor riches, but only the sustenance necessary for life. It emphasizes that true faith involves trusting God with both physical and spiritual needs, recognizing that wealth risks pride and self-reliance, while poverty can lead to bitterness and theft. The preacher underscores that God's provision is always sufficient, and the believer's response, whether in abundance or lack, must be gratitude, contentment, and faithful stewardship rooted in Christ. The prayer is not for luxury or security, but for dependence on God, reflecting a life shaped by humility, trust, and the eternal riches found in Christ. Ultimately, the message calls believers to live in constant awareness of God's sovereignty, finding identity not in possessions but in His grace.
