In 2014 during the  send off of the graduating students in our campus fellowship, we were given a charge. The speaker talked about individuals who were Christ fanatics when they came to campus but as they left so did their zeal, they become corrupted by things of the world. They tell lies to get the job, bear false witness to get a promotion and cheat to get the money. Their motto is no longer" what would Jesus do" but whatever it takes to get that car, that house, the money, the fame.
Nobody said that riches are bad, riches come from God. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. 1 Chronicles 29:12 (KJV)

King Solomon was the wealthiest man in the Bible  and the author of the book of Ecclesiastes. Solomon wrote the book of Ecclesiastes looking back at his life trying to find meaning. Vanity upon vanity, all is vanity. Those were the opening words in the book of Ecclesiastes.
Work diligently in the way of the Lord and when you finally make it don't forget to give glory to God. Don't think of yourself as "Self-made" saying you did it by your will, but think of yourself as "Christ-made" for it is through Christ that you have gotten that far.
But what if you never get that house, that car or be a superstar and your dreams never come true will you be satisfied with him? And if no one ever knows you and your gifts don't bring you fame, if everything you have someday you lose will you be satisfied with him?
