It's a new start of series and nevertheless I am excited to intake new learning, affirmation of what I already knew and of course the word of God. Every Sunday, I attend The Feast not because of some acts of obligations but it's more of me, strengthening my faith and seeking more of Him. Every word of each Sunday is like a powerful "baon" to me , to be the that I can be not just for myself but me towards others, and how I can inspire them with my little acts (actions, words, gestures).
"God never created money to buy happiness. God created money to increase HELPFULNESS."
Serving Him and money is not appropriate in one sentence, that was the conventional belief. However being rich can happen and still be faithful to Him, if one should achieve being truly rich inside and out. A man won a lottery, making him 350 million dollars rich, in just one draw. However that winning cause him, a disrupt marriage life, his kids turned to drugs, and him as a womanizer. Until he wished that he shouldn't have won that lottery. Gollum in LOTR worship the ring, then killed a friend and end up miserable. One must learn that before having lotsa money, one must be truly rich on the inside. Don't let yourself be a servant of money when it must be the other way around.
There are three kinds of rich people. First is the filthy rich. One who have the dirty, stinky, smelly money when actually it wasn't the money that is awful but the person itself. Greed, selfishness and wrong reason makes the world turn for them and they ended like just Gollum. Miserable. Second kind of rich person is the guilty rich. Guilty rich people are actually nice people however they locked themselves into a wrong belief that earning a lot of money is a sin. Most of the people who are brought up by parents with the conventional idea that having a lot of money is somehow evil. However for a big turn around helping your family and you're bigger family by sharing you're blessings is a way of serving Him.
Lastly is the TRULY RICH. They learned that having lotsa money is not for oneself but for serving Him and sharing the blessing to those who are in need. They've learned that it isn't a sin at all if one know how money will serve you by helping others. Helping your family is the number one priority and of course God will bless you more to help our bigger family. It isn't easy thing but you're character and what's inside will make you one of the elite truly rich.
So they've said Money can't buy happiness... so what?!? Money can definitely increase my helpfulness. God is so ready to bless us with everything we want regardless of how many millions or billions or any other things, relationships, career, however the question is, are we ready for that blessings? It's somehow comes to a point of realization that....

"Blessings comes with a great character."
God is always ready to give everything to us, anything but are we ready to accept it.... God doesn't give importance with what we have, what we've reached, what we are, but it's who we are.
Have a blessed day!
