Contrary to the belief of most people, God wants you to be rich. The men of God, those that found favor with him, were very wealthy. Job was the greatest of all the men of the east.
We are told Abraham had many cattle, sheep and other material things that made him considered very wealthy. Daniel even in his captivity because he refused to abandon God, was rewarded with a place of authority and abundance. Likewise Joseph, hated by his brothers and sold into slavery, remained faithful and God placed him in control of all the wealth of Egypt. Solomon is considered one of the richest men ever lived on earth.
There is no evil in being rich. But what we do with the things God
blesses us with determines whether it will work for good or evil. We are warned not to love money,it can corrupt but it can also be used for the glory of God.
Poor people can’t help poor people in providing the material things of life. Often times you need to meet the physical needs before the spiritual needs can be addressed. In Asia, like no other place on earth, we have the freedom and resources to become spiritually mature and extremely rich.
Why people don’t understand, they can and should try to become rich for His glory ? Most do not want to put forth the effort. They have only excuses or they are expecting to win the lottery or hope they have a long lost rich relative that is going to leave them their fortune.
The attitude and importance you give to riches is what matters. If you love money more than serving God you are in the wrong boat. We have the responsibility to develop and use the abilities and resources, all the parables say so.
Start now or continue to use the material things God has blessed you with to reach others for God. Seek to gain all you can then give it back to be used for God’s glory.
God bless you abundantly and make you a blessing to so many across the globe.
