2 Conditions To Attain Lasting Wealth by yommyuk: 11:41pm On Dec 24, 2013
The two conditions for true riches or enduring wealth comes from the following stated below; we have to fulfil both conditions to attain the desired result

1. The Lord’s side
2. On our side


Proverbs 10:22
“It is the blessing of the LORD that makes rich, and He adds no sorrow to it.”

The great, primary condition for true riches, spiritual and otherwise, is the blessing of the Lord. We cannot count on anything really good apart from the blessing of the Lord. On the other hand, the blessing of the Lord, by itself, is not sufficient. What is our part?

Proverbs 10:4
“Poor is he who works with a negligent hand, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.”

First of all, the blessing of the Lord makes rich, but second, the hand of the diligent makes rich. It takes the Lord’s blessing plus our diligence to attain to true wealth. It is not enough to just expect the blessing of the Lord or even to receive the blessing of the Lord. It will not accomplish its purpose in your life unless you add to it your own personal diligence.

A good way to express that diligence would be the following: in every situation where you have responsibility, leave it in a better condition—spiritually, financially, in every obvious way—than it was when you found it. First and foremost, thank the Lord for His blessing, but add to that your own diligence. Those two together bring true spiritual riches.

Galatians 6:9 –
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

God bless and Merry Xmas wink
