Biblical Concept of Wealth

[kwikphilly]

Blessings George

     Words of Wisdom,,,,thank you for sharing your wonderful saying

 

In conclusion, I have a saying that I live by -- "If it's God's will -- then it's God's bill!  So don't buy anything OUTSIDE of God's will, then you don't have to worry about anything else!"

    May I add to that?   "When in doubt,don't do anything until you hear from God!"    So many times when people(me too) do not get an answer as quickly as they would like to they do what they want to do or start 'thinking" too much........sometimes when we do not get an answer,that is the answer,,,,,,

     Your post could not have come at a better time,there are some major decisions required of me considering financial matters ,,,,,,,,,,this just confirms what I already know,,,If it is Gods Will it IS Gods bill & I needn't worry,His Plan will unfold I only need to "Be still & know He is God"                To God be the Glory

                                                                                With love-in Christ,Kwik

The Lord 'Our Father which art in heaven' loves us with the giving of His Son so that we may be

with Him... and has spoken in these last of days as Friend

John 15:15

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth

not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all

things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

KJV

in this revelation as friend

2 Peter 3:10-11

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;

in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and

the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the

works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that

all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought

ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

KJV

so in this very simple heart if my Father has told me what He is keeping and what He is

not... it is an easy thing to attach myself to the things of keeping and see the other

as that which is to be burnt up and be no more... Happy to be filled with the everlasting...

Love, Steven

All things in moderation, including your 4 or 500 million..

Serious tho..

One way to think of "prosperity" is like this..

Would you want your children to be poor and hungry?

Are you God's child?.....Then why would your Heavenly Father want you to be poor?

Poverty is anguish, its slow torture, and it does not make you more spiritual, it only makes you bitter and tired and hungry.

Poverty has harmed more already then prosperity ever will.

The fact is, if you cant Love God and  handle having money, the how can you Love God and handle poverty?

Does being broke help you to love God more?...They why do you think having money would cause you to love Him less?

Your bible tells you that its "God who gives you power to get wealth".

But it also tells you not to live to chase it and not to love it.

Money is not the enemy of spirituality, its just a thorn in the side of a fool, if the person cant handle it.

There is only one thing to remember......we as believer's are to give.

So, as long as your character is to "live to give", then money is never an issue.

As long as you are a channel of God's blessing and not a selfish self indulgent hoarder, then everything works out fine.

So, its all about you, its not about the money........its about who you really are INSIDE., as what you do, is who you are.

And yes, its true that "riches" cant make you content,  but this is also true of poverty.

So, given the choice between the 2, use your common sense with your money.

When we died we don't leave this world the same way we have come into this world.

We are born without the knowledge of Jesus Christ and we die with the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

We enter this world crying, and we leave this world with Joy, (in spite all the adversed situations, we still have the Joy of going to be with him).

We enter the world with the experiences of the life in the womb and we leave with the experiences of this life .

We leave this world speaking, singing , with the memories of having done good things. For our family , even the family of God, and to many that we never met. 

We leave with the Joy that we have help the children of Jesus Christ , and we are instrumental by witnessing we have win Shols for Jesus Christ. And we gave the faith of Jesus to our children. 

If we are born without his righteousness, we leave with his righteousness.

If we are born Without his Spirit,  we leave with his Spirit. 

PS

We must have some attire or clothing ( I do not mean earthly , ) (and I do not know about shoes) when we leave this earthly body, I don't think we are going to heaven without any garments.
