QUETION RECEIVED:
I know that God doesn't owe me a rich life. When I look at this world,
I see ungodly people having it all, in terms of wealth, health and success. But
godly people have nothing, they lack everything in this world.
Isn't God a
provider? When I pray isn't God moved to make my life better in terms of
success-wealth, health and a good life?
God gave Solomon riches, can't He
provide for us?
Honestly speaking, we need money to earn a living in this
world, buy food, clothes, tithe to our local churches, give some to the poor
and the sick. For instance, if I was a billionaire, I'd share my wealth with
the less fortunate and give some to God(Kingdom purposes). Is it a must that we
must be poor? events and opportunities that happen in our lives, are they meant
to be or do we choose how our lives unfolds? I'm thinking of predestination
concepts. Why did God send a evil spirit to torment king Saul? What was the
purpose behind it? Is it wrong to pray for wealth and health?
MY
ANSWER:
Brother
you sound frustrated.
I am
not here to give you false un-grounded hope.
Is
your satisfaction in Christ?
Has He provided for you?
Salvation
and eternity with the Father and pardon for sins are what no one can do for you
but Christ.
See
if the ungodly are satisfied. Perhaps
for a short time they seem satisfied.
Mark 12:41-45
41 And He sat
down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the people were putting
money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums. 42 A
poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent. 43
Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor
widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; 44 for they all
put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned,
all she had to live on.”
I do
not know how Jesus blessed her but He cared for her and her gesture endured
forever in Scripture. The woman was not stopped from
giving.
Solomon
was the richest man ever recorded in the Bible and he wrote his regrets in the
book of Lamentations.
The
woman was not stopped from giving.
What
stops you?
Rich
or poor God honors FAITH and it moves him.
Be
careful where you put your faith.
