Wealth is not a sign of faith or partiality on God's part. Some Christians don't tithe, and they wonder why God doesn't Bless them. Jesus chalanges us to think beyond earth-bound goals and to use what we have been given to help others. Money has the power to take God's place in your life. It can become your master.
Money is a hard master and a deceptive one.
Money promises power and control, the problem is, that it cannot deliver. We need to live expectantly, for Jesus is coming back for us. Getting ready to meet Him involves, continually growing in love for God and for others. It is very important to pray regularly, and it is also important to reach out to the needy people. Your possessions, status, and power will mean nothing in God's Kingdom.
