There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. Luke 16: 19-23
Wisdom is essential
Wealth is good
But not vital or
Essential
Godly wisdom takes you
To heaven
But wealth cannot take you
To heaven
However
Wealth with godly wisdom
Will take you to heaven
Any wealth or material gain
That corrodes and obstructs
Wisdom is bad for your soul
Because
It will only take you away from heaven
God in His infinite wisdom and sovereignty
Suspends material wealth and gains
In order to save stubborn souls
Wisdom is the principal thing not wealth
Any preacher that contradicts this
Is not from God
Because focus on materiality
Is what destroys souls
And leads them away from God
Our true focus
Must be on wisdom
And holiness
One thing that I know is this:
A man with wisdom is truly blessed spiritually
And that blessing leads to material blessings
But a man with material wealth
Without godly wisdom
Is truly naked and pathetic
And that nakedness
Will eventually lead
To destruction and hell
Consider this:
The rich man
Went to hell regardless
Of His wealth
And Lazarus was saved
Even though he was poor.
Lazarus had wisdom without wealth
And the rich man had wealth
Without wisdom
Wisdom is true wealth
Choose wisdom
And that wisdom
Will never disappoint
You here or in eternity
It will eventually bring wealth
And prosperity
If you chose wealth
Over wisdom
You will eventually
Crash either in this life
Or/and in eternity
May great grace be upon us
In Jesus name
