How To Become Rich

I find it interesting that Jesus taught more about money than anything else. And He wasn’t trying to ratchet up the treasury. As far as we know, He never even asked for an offering. The reason He taught extensively on the subject is that nothing clogs our spiritual arteries more quickly than money—either working to have a lot of it or wishing that we had.
Think of the man who brazenly asked Jesus, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me” (Luke 12:13). Amazing! He had an opportunity to “go deep” with Jesus, but instead he wanted deep pockets.
Jesus responded with a stunning, counterintuitive statement: “Beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses” (v.15). He then went on to tell the parable of a rich man who was wildly successful from a worldly standpoint—having so many crops that he had to keep building bigger barns—but who, in God’s eyes, was actually a “fool.” Not because he was rich, but because he was not rich toward God.
You’ll hear a lot of advice about how to become rich. But only Jesus tells it to us straight. It’s not about the money. It’s about the richness of our relationship with Him and the joy of turning our greed into generosity.  — Joe Stowell
The riches of this world are vain,
They vanish in a day;
But sweet the treasures of God’s love—
They never pass away. —Bosch
Learning how to be rich toward God yields eternal dividends.

READ: Luke 12:13-21 Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. —Luke 12:15

~Nina's Corner~

We just recently had a women's meeting at church and when asking for prayer we noticed one of the biggest struggles everyone faced was with finances. They didn't ask to be millionaires, they didn't ask for anything but for God to help provide for needs. One tip our pastor's wife gave us was in order to be blessed of course pay our tithes and to also give money away. That statement truly touched my heart, just as Jesus would have us live to give our lives away. So if you want to become rich give it away!
