There were so many rich men in the Bible, but the following four(4) men I wrote about here tapped massively into the secrets of wealth and got the Almighty God himself personally visiting them and blessing them immensely.
Their simple secrets were, among other things, the virtues of Trust, Humility and Sacrifice. Read on, imbibe these virtues and see God lifting you among the greatest.

1.Abraham - Abraham trusted in God and he understood the power of sacrifice. He knew it was the secret to God's heart.
In Gen 12:1, he trusted God when he left his father's house to a place he didn't know.
In Gen 15:10, Abraham brought animals for sacrifice to God, and in verse 18 God promised him wealth.
In Gen 22:1-18, he trusted God's command to sacrifice his only son, Isaac and God renewed His vow to bless Abraham richly.

2.Solomon - Solomon recognized God when he became king and also understood the importance of sacrifices. So in 2 Chronicles 1:6, Solomon he went to God's place of worship and offered sacrifices of a thousand animals and that night God blessed him with wisdom and riches beyond any other king.

3.David - David was chosen by God not because of his outward appearance as seen in 1 Samuel 16:7, but because of his humility and good heart. David trusted God greatly and he portrayed that in his Psalms. Thus, God always protected him from his enemies and blessed him.

4.Job - Job was rich and he also feared God so greatly that in Job 1:1-5, he'd get up early in the morning to offer sacrifices for each of his children to purify them because he thought they may have sinned by insulting God unintentionally. Even when he lost everything and faced serious tribulations, he still trusted and refused to curse God. In Job 42:12, God not only blessed him more than before but he also lived to a very ripe old age to see his great grandchildren.

TRUST - Psalm 46:1-3 (NIV)
“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.”

HUMILITY - Proverbs 22:4
"The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life."

SACRIFICE - Hebrews 13:16
"Do not forget to do good and to help one another, because these are the sacrifices that please God."

Most of the people mentioned in the bible didn't exist, they were metaphors used to explain complicated stories. Example; Job is simply to teach you long suffering. There was no anthropomorphic Job who talked to God and Satan.

Abraham means ABRA (father) plus HAM (black), which literally means black father. But the real meaning is BEGINNING because black people were the first people to inhabit planet earth. There was no such person as Abraham. Abraham simply means beginning.

Solomon have a chance of being a real person because the defunct Ethiopian monarchy was traceable to him.

David very sketchy.

The bible is mostly a story, its not a history book. So, don't take it literally.

You no make any sense

brodalokie:
Change the word humility into simple. How many kings can you humiliate? Few months ago a Nigerian king agreed that his current post does not give him the previledge to dance in the public.

Your job is a sacrifice. Take for example those who are working in doors like kings that work from a home office style generally reffered to as Palace because of it's largeness. You are confined to your duty when you ought to be getting involved with other people's funfairs.

Trust is overrated because unless your job is new in town, it is already, tested and approved trustworthy. Imagine a king comes on board after studying history of his land, he decides to take on the name of a past king as his role model. There is nothing to be trusted because he already knows what is before him and what to expect.

The secret we didn't know is how they manage to employ ghost armies as their useful tool to make a subject to commit financial suicide then pretend to help them repeatedly.
