Do you want to be rich? (17Aug2010)

Today's reading is about how hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God?
Jesus mentioned many times about how it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle compare to rich man entering Heaven.
.
After knowing this, do you still want to be rich? He3. Richness and evil is proportionate. By increasing wealth, you will increase bad behavior as well. But you don't have to be worry because the bad behavior or evil things can be nullify through strengthening our spiritual strength.
.
So what you have to do is to always remember and act upon God's teaching while you are on your way to achieving your material goal. I believe that the challenge will be harder compare to when money is not enough or just enough for living. What I mean is that, let us take a look at the time when our money is just enough for us to buy food. At that time we will look at things to fill our stomach. But what happen if suddenly this payday you receive 6 months salary bonus? Your head start to spin, you will be the Einstein of spending. There will be many creative way for you to spend the money even though you know that it is not necessary. That will be the time for you to go to places that maybe it is not good but it's FUN to spend the MONEY.
.
What happen when all the money has gone? Life will be back to normal when you are counting the cents to buy FOOD. Why? Why don't you act normal even though you suddenly receive $1,000,000 in your bank account? Because human is weak. With our human strength, we are no good. For God says, "With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
.
Sit back, relax and start to manage your life in God's way. You can become rich in this world and also Heaven. Be a good rich man. Make sure you can go through the eye of the needle. ^_^.
