Shocking Facts About Being wealthy

Okay what does it mean to be wealthy to you, yes you.

Well the truth is I can't actually read your mind but I can give you a hint.

Let's go 

To be wealthy these days is now characterized by how many cars, clothes, houses, companies, accessories, girls and so on you posses. This is the world's view or should I say your definition of being rich. And because of this, teenagers and youths waste their time chasing irrelevant things just for money. They end up looking for unGodly ways to earn money , they also begin to choose courses based on the money they think they would gain not because it's their dream and they end up making alot of mistakes in life. Yes,the Bible shows and tells us that as a Christian you can't be poor

“Blessed be the Lord, who daily loads us with benefits, the God of our salvation!” “Thou openest thine hand, and satisfies the desire of every living thing.” “And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”

 Yes and yes,but as a believer what's your definition of being rich? Or wealthy ?

Well to me,being rich is at every point in time you're able to Cater for your needs and you are comfortable in life needing not to beg anyone for money .

So the fact you don't have ten cars or flashy ones, but you have a means of transport, the fact you have a flat to live in not a mansion but you have a roof over your head, the fact you have clothes but not the so expensive ones ,you are still covered, the fact you go to school and learn but not just the ones for politician's kids the fact still remains that you still learn, the fact you have a little garden where you get your food stuffs from, not ShopRite like others do,but you are not hungry —that's wealth; That'swhat being rich is to me.

So don't try to explain using ungodly or evil means to get money to me, because you are poor.

There's a difference between poverty and greed.

Yeay I'm not poor, I've not experienced poverty but , I know alot of people that started out poor. You were born poor doesn't mean you have to die poor, and that you were born rich isn't a guarantee that you will die rich .

Everything just depends on your mindset towards success.

So please my fellow teenagers and youths out there no matter your religion, belief, tribe or country.

  Quit using the world's concept of wealth. 

"Proverbs 11:4 Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death. 1 Timothy 6:17-19 Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or not to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy."
