Everything have law and you have to follow,like the law of reciprocation, givers never lack, not by giving it to any man be it spiritualist or pastor,u ursef as a human is a spirit,attune to the cosmic frequency,ask question concerning your current state,keep dream,do good,link up with great mind the universe will favour you,but the utmost,riches are not measured as wealth,for there are rich men who are not completely ok,the don't have kids, the have health challenges draining them,pressure and so,you are responsible for yourself,if u presume u are rich u are rich,is all mental state,once u begin to see yourself as poor then u are poor,aslong u can afford ur basic needs u are doing well and mind you,every one is destined, and we have seasons for all this, maybe you are program to be rich at your 40, fasten it might cost you, believe me wealth is within you,find solution either service and sell it up,take time before it builds up,even dangote with favored policy ND loans still takes him time to attain such current wealth,he worked for it even though he might laverage on certain stuff, remember there are other business he tried that fail but he keep focus ND never giv up,so believe in yourself and find something u love most ND channel it to be earning,trust me in 10year,even in ur sleep u can do such correctly and got paid,ask ursef why great salary comes with people that have number of experience in such field,is not coincidence, company knows what the want ND that's y the pay such wage for it |

I know one guy like that from school. Never studied hard, never fasted, never prayed, but he seems to have photographic memory. He’s now an executive vice president abroad collecting $500k per year. |

1. Temporal Wealth vs. Eternal Happiness Divine Providence looks to eternity, while humans judge life by immediate circumstances. Wealth and status are not rewards for piety, nor are they signs of holiness—they are simply temporal conditions governed by natural laws. God’s primary goal is preparing souls for heaven, not granting physical riches. As Swedenborg writes, "The Divine Providence looks to what is eternal, and to what is temporal only so far as it accords with the eternal" (Divine Providence §214). 2. The Preservation of Free Will Spiritual growth requires complete freedom. If God punished non-believers with poverty or rewarded prayer with riches, faith would be forced through fear or greed. By allowing people to live according to their own intellect and desires, God ensures that inner character develops freely without spiritual coercion. 3. The Law of Divine Permission God permits worldly ambition and spiritual neglect because forcibly stopping them would destroy human free will. However, God still directs these ambitions toward useful ends: the skills and hard work of non-religious people often build businesses, advance technology, and create infrastructure that benefit society. 4. Internal vs. External Religion Swedenborg distinguishes between external rituals and internal spiritual life. Reciting prayers and fasting mean nothing if driven by habit, pride, or fear. Conversely, someone who does not observe formal rituals but acts honestly, loves their neighbor, and lives morally out of a genuine desire for good is far closer to heaven. God measures the heart, not superficial piety. in Jesus’s Parable of the Unjust Steward (Luke 16:1–9), where a worldly manager uses shrewd natural wisdom to secure his future. The Spiritual Meaning: In Swedenborg's theology, this parable highlights how people of the world often use their natural intellect and worldly prudence far more effectively than "children of light" use their spiritual opportunities. The Lesson: God commends the steward’s cleverness—not his dishonesty—to teach that natural diligence and worldly capability are real skills. However, unless worldly "mammon" (possessions and natural talents) is used to serve good, useful, and heavenly ends, it remains merely external. True religion is not about passive ritualism; it requires actively applying intelligence to do genuine good in the world. |

Sirchiboy:You can become rich by solving people problems. |
| Re: Some People Don’t Even Pray Or Fast But Things Are Working Perfectly Ok For Them by dederocs(m): 7:43pm On Oct 18 |
It's not about religiosity, align with the universal laws, this is the path of mysticism, things work by principles of nature. As per becoming rich, the more challenge you solve or solutions to problems you bring the richer you be...not through employment but investment, partnerships and entrepreneurship. |

criuze:Can you give stance on the first two as a Christian ? What could be a ; 1. Covenant 2. Sacrifice |
| Re: Some People Don’t Even Pray Or Fast But Things Are Working Perfectly Ok For Them by Lovelydaisies: 7:45pm On Oct 18 |
1. Everybody has their own time. As you think 'things are working for them', also know there are times they'll feel down. 2. It's the Lord's decision to bless whomever. The race is not for he that runneth...abi how them talk am again. Ours is to pray, God's own is to listen to our prayers and bless when he chooses to. 3. That person may be doing something right, better than you who pray. He may know a secret or a person/persons you who pray don't know. 4. There are people who pray/intercede for you. Yes, you- your wife, husband, brethren, intercessors, parents, friends, well-wishers, monks and nuns (Yes, they pray for the world and its people including people who don't or can't pray for themselves), religious leaders and so on. Or don't you know that God listens to the prayers of other for you? 5. The point is: you aren't that person. What works for them may not work for you. Follow your Christian principles as God has laid down for you and don't compare yourself. Grace is given to everyone, general and specific. Don't compare. You won't face that person's judgement. |
