Who Is A Poor Man?

Our society will often characterize a poor man to be someone who can't afford a three quare meal, a man who does not have access to the basic necessities of life, like good clothes, shelter, nutrition, good health, etc.

Truly, a man who can/ does not have access to the basic necessities of life is poor but, let me disappoint you by saying, he is not as poor as a man who only channels his passion to the pursuit of money. Read it again.

Money answers all things. So says the Bible. Money is essential in life even as life but the moment a man makes it his utmost pursuit, he might never have the abundance of it and peradventure he has it, the money might come with an unexplainably emptiness and hollow.

The society we are is so soaked with poverty because of mad rush for money. The reality is, the more you pursue money, the more it runs and moves away from you, just like a rabbit chasing his own tail.

The abundance of wealth and riches is always available for you, but enveloped in one thing.

Your wealth is in that thing you left behind to pursue money.

That thing you left behind is your purpose of existence.

God who created you will not create you to suffer and become poor. He is rich in all things. And even before He created you, He had mapped and designed your life. He put in His purpose for your life, your own portion of wealth. All you need to do is discover and pursue that purpose.

The pursuit of purpose needs and involves money, as it truly faces people. But, the reality is money is not what you need first. All you need at the beginning are relationship with your creator, energy, passion, consistency, focus and foresight.

When you take off the pursuit of money from your mind and pursue purpose, money and every good things of life, including peace of mind, right relationships,  will chase after you. Shalom!
