Every person has the potential to be rich. One simply must measure the right treasure. Some people spend their entire adult lives accumulating material possessions that will not last. Certain people have become extremely good at this and have accumulated impressive collections of material wealth.
Despite what “health and wealth” television evangelists may claim, not every follower of Christ will become financially wealthy. But every believer can become rich in good works. In truth, if God has granted you significant material wealth, it is so you can give more away. Wealth does not merely provide you a greater opportunity to buy, but a greater possibility to give.
