God has established a kingdom. In his kingdom he has given us rules to apply to the kingdom and he also gave us understanding of what is needed from the operation of the kingdom and the promotion of the gosple of Jesus. In the bible we are shown the great wealth of Aberham issac and jacob. Which covenate we are grafted int. There covenat was a covenat of blessing and actually a covenat of great wealth and blessing. As christians we really do not spend much time thinking about money. And i think that is a shame actually, we should not seek money to be rich but to be wealthy. Wealthy in the ability to help people. To be a blessing to people and to God. In other words to be found good and faithful servents and stuarts upto God. Today many christians are poor and have no money to speak of and the reason is a lack of understanding. Were there is no sowing there is not reaping. We as christians have to come togeither in order to expand the kingdom of God. Will You?

God gave us parables about being good servants over his money. It is not our money at all. It is his money. Money is not evil the love of money is evil. I myself do not love money at all. I have been rich and poor, rich is better. But i am happy in either state. But what i am teaching about is the desire of God to bless you until you are beyond wealthy so you will be a person that all the sinners look to for the answers. That is what is messing in the world today in the christians testimoney.

"You cannot be a slave of two masters; you will hate one and love the other; you will be loyal to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." Math 6:24
First is to love the Lord our God. He gives people accordingly. God could have sent Jesus as a great rich king, but He chose Him to be born in a humble way not as rich. So it is ok if we dont have so much money and be happy with whatever we have. But we can always ask God when we are broke or do not have enough for basic necessities.
Another thing is that it is very difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God, cause he will always be happy in his richness that He cannot find the truth about God.
21 Jesus said to him, "If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me." 22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he was very rich.
