Dear reader, if God was to produce his list of the 100 richest true Christians on earth today, you would be shocked. Very few, or even none of Forbes’s 100 Billionaires would make it on God’s list. Not even any of the 100 richest pastors on earth today would make it on that list.
God measures abundance differently.
God does not measure people’s abundance on earth as we do. Here on earth we measure abundance by how much money is on someone’s bank account, and how much property they have in terms of land, buildings, vehicles and other earthly possessions.
Richest pastors.
If you are a pastor, I advise you never to struggle being included on the list of the richest pastors in your country. Do not struggle to have the best house, best car or best plane because if you do, Jesus Christ and all the heavenly hosts will start laughing at you.
If you are a pastor and you read God’s written Word very well, you will see that Jesus Christ made it very clear that a person’s life is not made up the abundance that person has on earth:
And He said to them, “Take heed and beware of [a]covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses.”
Luke 12:15
Your abundance is in heaven.
God measures people’s abundance by how much they have invested in heaven. If you are a minister of God and you are concerned about God’s Kingdom, you should only be preoccupied with how much investment you have made in heaven.
The widow who made it on God’s list of the richest Christians.
One time Jesus went to the temple to see who would make it on God’s list of the richest Christians on earth. Some of the the world’s Christian billionaires and richest pastors came purposely to the temple and waited patiently to hear their names being mentioned by Jesus. They were shocked when none of their names were mentioned.
Instead, someone unknown made it on God’s list of the richest Christians on earth. Jesus Christ gave the reason why:
And He said, Truly I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all of them;
4 For they all gave out of their abundance (their surplus); but she has contributed out of her lack and her want, putting in all that she had on which to live.
Luke 21:3-4
