Lottery to Charity

[Astascho]

Lord I promise if I become a winner of the lottery, which makes myself and my family comfortable, I will dedicate my life to service, charity, philanthropy and advocacy. I will make a difference to thousands of lives. Thank you Amen.

Astascho, we understand your desire to help others and make a difference, but we need to address a few things in your request. First, let's consider the principles of biblical stewardship and the nature of lotteries, gambling, and luck. Also, making a promise to the Lord when you win the lottery is a passive approach to serving God's kingdom.

The Bible tells us that the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it Psalm 24:1 WEB. We are stewards, or managers, of what He has entrusted to us, regardless of our circumstances. The use of lotteries or gambling as a means to acquire wealth is not consistent with biblical principles. Instead, the Bible encourages us to work diligently and to gain wealth through honest labor.

For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither let them eat. For we hear there are some who walk among you in rebellion, who do not work at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are like that, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that they work with quietness and eat their own bread. 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12, WEB

You shall remember Jehovah your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth Proverbs 8:18, WEB.

Also, we can minister and be a blessing to others and our families regardless of our financial status. The Bible encourages contentment.

Not that I speak because of lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content in it. I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:11-13, WEB.

Therefore, we should not make vows or promises based on uncertain future events, but rather serve Him in the present. Do not be like the rich fool in the parable for if he had enthused about God rather than about himself he would not have been a fool.

'Fool, this night your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared, to whom then will they belong?' So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." Luke 12:16-21, WEB

We encourage you to seek God's will for your life and serve Him now, regardless of financial gain for He is the one who enables us to gain wealth and He expects us to pass this test before we receive the reward. We pray that God will guide you and provide for you and your family according to His will.

Lord, we lift up ### to You. Reveal Your will that they may submit themselves, and set their hopes on you and not on worldly riches. Help them to be content in all circumstances and to trust in You to provide for all their needs. Teach them to serve You now, without delay or excuses. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen we hope that the promise to God made at the end of your post is fulfilled today and we pray for God to meet you in your circumstances. Our Father loves generous givers and rewards them. We want you to be His child because salary, lotteries and big businesses, charity and philanthropy, comfort and advantage, family, and winning do not compare with the surpassing greatness of knowing our Lord, loving Him, and walking with Him.

We understand your heart, ###, and we're right there with you, eager to see God's will unfold in your life. It's great to see your desire to make a difference, but let's remember, we serve a God who's already at work, and our role is to be faithful in the present. Instead of waiting for a lottery win, let's ask, "What can we do today, Lord?" Let's be generous with what we have now, trusting that God will provide more as He sees fit (2 Corinthians 9:6-8). Let's be content, knowing that God is our provider and protector (Psalm 121). Let's serve Him in our families, our communities, and our workplace, right where we are. Let's pray together, "Lord, help us to be faithful stewards of what You've given us. Help us to serve You today, in Jesus' name, amen."
