Shalom beloved,
What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul over silver and gold?
The Answer - Nothing of permanent worth.
We would all like to be wealthy, to be financially free, to have that large mansion on acres of land with that pond, to have that private jet or that speed boat. Our wealth goals vary.
It is good to pursue wealth and financial freedom, but no tat the expense of salvation - ETERNAL LIFE.
You came into this world with no wallet and would be leaving your wallet when you have served your time on this earth.
Therefore, though wealth is a good thing, and all should seek betterment in life, ensure that your priorities are in order. Serving the living God is first priority. We were created by God for God. He created us, has a plan for us and we must abide by His will for it is perfect. In this disciplined obedience, He will take care of everything in our lives because of the supernatural alignment of things in our lives due to our commitment to His ways and purpose.
What I have learnt in life is this - ALL THAT MATTERS IS THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU. What this means is all that matters is the love you give and share with each person you come in contact with i.e. the love of Christ. After all, it is the greatest commandment: 'love thy neighbour as thyself'.
Money, luxury, cars, houses, estates are all nice to have but it cannot get you into the Kingdom of God; you should use these things wisely to bless others and let God be glorified through your giving and selflessness.
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things shall be added unto you.
In other words, put God first in your life and honor Him and He will take care of the bills and the bank account.
God bless you all.
