I want all the good people of this world to be truly rich...not just millionaires but truly happy billionaires... and the Bible tells us how....
Proverbs 22:13 is very clear that we need to be good... and to good you have to be wise.. and to be wise simply is to acquire knowledge.
" To have knowledge, you must have reverence for the Lord. Stupid people have no respect for wisdom and refuse to learn." Prov 1:7 So the very first step in accumulating wealth is really to have reverence to the Lord. Now, the question is, how do we show reverence to the Lord? Reverence to anyone is shown by respect and obedience. Obedience to His Laws. And the Law of the Lord as stated in the Ten Commandments can be summarized into one word...LOVE.
Love the Lord with all our heart, mind and soul ... and love our neighbors as we love ourselves.
If we accumulate wealth but not out of reverence to the Lord, and not by obeying His Laws, we will be chasing the wind. We wont be happy billionaires. But if we anchor our desire to leave inheritance to our grandchildren on LOVE, then we will truly be happy billionaires.
God bless!
