It is written, for you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, THOUGH HE WAS RICH, YET FOR YOUR SAKES HE BECAME POOR, THAT YOU THROUGH HIS POVERTY MIGHT BE RICH. (2 Corinthians 8:9)
This is to say, you as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World must know and understand that you are not POOR in Christ in this World in the sight and side of God in Heaven, but RICH in Christ because Jesus Christ who is rich became poor so that through His POVERTY, you can become RICH in this World in the sight and side of God in Heaven. True! Thank you Jesus Christ! Now, the problem is what is the kind of RICHES did Jesus Christ brought to the World to give to us who have genuinely accepted Him as our Lord and personal Saviour in this World and therefore what is TRUE RICHES in the World? Many genuine Christians inability to get the correct answer to this questions asked is the reason Satan, demons and their human agents have deceptively and cleverly used the TEMPORARY RICHES of this World to deceive and deny them the discovery, development and delivery (manifestation) of the TRUE RICHES of Christ in them by the Holy Spirit of Christ that is with them in the World. So sad but true! Therefore, you need to know and understand that TRUE RICHES of Christ in this World before the sight of God and in the side of God are not money, cars, lands, houses or any kind of material possessions, positions, powers or popularities of this World. No! These are TEMPORARY RICHES of this World that are only needed here for us to use to physically fulfill our divine days and divine destiny in this World and they will ALL pass away with this World on a certain appointed day of the Lord. True! Therefore, the Bible timely counsels us, Love NOT the world, neither the THINGS that are in the World. If any man love the World, the love of the Father is not in him. For ALL that is in the World, the LUST OF THE FLESH, and THE LUST OF THE EYES, and THE PRIDE OF LIFE, is not of the Father, but is of the World. And the World passes away, and the lust thereof: but he that does the will of God abides for ever. This is because the TEMPORARY RICHES of this World has only earthly value with no eternal value, but the TRUE RICHES of Christ in this World has both earthly and eternal value. True! However, the TEMPORARY RICHES of this World is given eternal value when we learn to sacrificially lay up our treasures in Heaven by using them to the glory of God, especially when we use them to meet the needs of the poor and needy in our society, especially those in Christ. True! Therefore, Jesus Christ counsels us, lay not up for yourselves treasures upon Earth, where moth and rust does corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust does corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. True! Now, what are the TRUE RICHES that Jesus Christ brought and gives to those who accept Him as their Lord and personal Saviour in this World? The TRUE RICHES of Christ before the sight of God in Heaven is the FRUITS of the Spirit (recorded in Galatians 5) and GIFTS of the Spirit (recorded in 1 Corinthians 12) in you that are maturing and manifesting through you in Christ in the World by the workings of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within you in this World. True! This is the TRUE RICHES of Christ in you in this World that the people of the World can never have (until they come to Christ like you did sometime ago) because the Devil and the Cares of this World would not allow them see the Life and Light in Christ. The FRUITS of the Spirit and the GIFTS of the Spirit are the TRUE RICHES of Christ in you that the Devil (Satan) is angry and afraid of because with them fully matured and manifesting in and through you in this World, you can never fall to his lies, you can easily defeat him and become all that God designed for you to be and achieve with Him in Christ in this World and you can be of a spiritual help to others as well. Therefore, he is walking and working day and night roaring like a lion seeking to DEVOUR (to steal, kill and destroy) your TRUE RICHES of Christ in you. True! Therefore, cherish and nourish your TRUE RICHES of Christ in you far more than the TEMPORARY RICHES of this World that is he (Satan) is using to entice you daily to steal, kill and destroy your TRUE RICHES of Christ in you, knowing that TEMPORARY RICHES will soon pass away sooner than you think at least at your death, it is all over. True! Therefore, be wise as the Serpent (the Devil), but be smarter than him like the early disciples of JESUS CHRIST who cherished and nourished their TRUE RICHES of Christ in them than the TEMPORARY RICHES of this World. This is why Apostle Peter said, SILVER AND GOLD HAVE I NONE; BUT SUCH AS I HAVE GIVE I YOU: IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH RISE UP AND WALK. The Holy Spirit of Christ you received on your special day of being born again (spiritual birth) supernaturally transformed you from a spiritually poor person of your natural birth into a spiritually rich person in Christ who CAN DO ALL things through Christ who strengthens you from within by His Holy Spirit that is in you in this World. True! Halleluyah! Yes, you are supernaturally transformed into a spiritual rich person in Christ in this World who can think, speak and live supernaturally above the people of the World as the divine SALT of the Earth and as the divine LIGHT of the World, if only you can cherish and nourish the FRUITS of the Spirit and GIFTS of the Spirit in you into full maturity and manifestation by the help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is in this World. If you do, you will watch amazingly, how TEMPORARY RICHES of this World in their own accord will be added unto you as Jesus Christ said. True! Halleluyah! First thing first! This is why Jesus Christ counsels us to SEEK YOU FIRST the Kingdom of God (the Presence and Power of His Holy Spirit), and His Righteousness; and ALL these things shall be ADDED unto you. This means that we should wisely first and foremost SEEK the TRUE RICHES that He (Jesus Christ) brought and gives by His Holy Spirit's Presence and Power, then all TEMPORARY RICHES that we need to fulfill our divine days and divine destiny (Life Purpose in Christ) in this World will be ADDED unto us miraculously and favourably. True! Halleluyah! Finally, this is why Jesus Christ sent a message to timely warn and counsel us ahead of time saying unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; these things said the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know your works, that you art neither COLD nor HOT: I would you are cold or hot. So then because you art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, i will spew you out of my mouth. BECAUSE YOU SAID, I AM RICH, AND INCREASED WITH GOODS, AND HAVE NEED OF NOTHING; AND KNOWS NOT THAT YOU ART WRETCHED, AND MISERABLE, AND POOR, AND BLIND, AND NAKED: I COUNSEL YOU TO BUY OF ME GOLD TRIED IN THE FIRE, THAT YOU MIGHT BE RICH; AND WHITE RAIMENT, THAT YOU MIGHT BE CLOTHED, AND THAT THE SHAME OF THY NAKEDNESS DO NOT APPEAR; AND ANOINT THINE EYES WITH EYE SALVE, THAT YOU MIGHT SEE. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and REPENT. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my Voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that OVERCOMES will I grant to SIT with ME in MY THRONE, even as I also OVERCAME, and am SET DOWN with my Father in His throne. He that had an ear, let him hear what the Spirit said unto the Churches. Hmm! Oh how wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked are so many materially rich and poor Christians and Churches today before the eyes of God the Father in Heaven! Oh Lord help us all to see who will really are spiritually speaking, so we can individually and collectively REPENT before is too late for us on the Earth! Oh Lord help us not to perish with the World! Please, help us all in Jesus name I intercede, Amen! Now, this is why Apostle Paul timely counsels as well saying GODLINESS with CONTENTMENT is GREAT GAIN. For we brought nothing into this World, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be RICH fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil: which while SOME COVETED AFTER, THEY HAVE ERRED FROM THE FAITH, AND PIERCED THEMSELVES THROUGH WITH MANY SORROWS. But you, O man of God, flee these things; and FOLLOW AFTER righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, LAY HOLD ON ETERNAL LIFE, whereunto you art also called, and had professed a good profession before many witnesses. Likewise, this why the Psalmist counselled us saying trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: IF RICHES INCREASE, SET NOT YOUR HEART UPON THEM. Be wise! Be smart in Christ in this World because the time is nearer than before, JESUS CHRIST IS COMING BACK AGAIN. Don't be caught unaware because of the cares and pleasures of this World because it is better to be like Lazarus the TEMPORARY POOR man who have TRUE RICHES in this World toward God and ended in Heaven at last (that is, if you cannot be like Abraham who have both TRUE RICHES and TEMPORARY RICHES in this World toward God and ended in Heaven at last) than to be like the rich man who have the TEMPORARY RICHES of this World and who do not have TRUE RICHES in this World toward God and ended in Hell at last. True! Be warned!
