Hello Everyone,
In this article I will share with you the mindset of a man that God called a fool. What comes to your mind when you hear the word wealth?  Abundance of material possessions, lots of money, investments, cars, fine clothing, exotic vacations, etc.?  Undeniably wealth is associated with these things, however material possessions alone does not guarantee happiness and fulfillment in life.Think over your life span and remember some of the rich and famous whose lives ended tragically.  Wealth is a matter of the mind first.  “As a man thinks in his heart (innermost part) so is he” (Proverbs 23:7).  To put it plainly, your thoughts precede your actions and you become what you think about continuously. Having the correct thoughts regarding  wealth is the first step to obtaining wealth.  Right thinking skills can be acquired as you meditate and believe in your heart that the spiritual principles in the bible are correct.  For your convenience I listed some scriptures in my blog titled “Prosperity Scriptures” for you to use as you develop and establish your mind towards achieving success in this area.

As a Correctional Educator I enterface and interact with individuals whose mindset is geared towards anti-social behavior.  Please believe me when I say it is so rewarding both for me and my students to experience the joys of developing a new mindset that produces a positive and productive lifestyle.  There is a  story in the bible about a man whose life describes a person whose life was entirely centered around the many barns he had built (Luke 12: 15-21).  Like so many people who think that wealth guarantees success in life, he portrayed a person whose main priority was to acquire material possessions and live the so called “good life”.  I believe it is safe to say this story represents the mindset of many in today’s society. This wave in today’s headlines of business executives making stupid choices is similar to the story of the man who had built many barns (material goods).It may be hard for you to imagine God calling someone a fool but the story records that he was called a fool by God.  The definition of a fool is described in the bible as someone who lives as if there is no God.  “The fool had said in his heart there is no God” (Psalms 14:1a).   Having great wealth is not a sign of great intelligence according to online encyclopedia Wikepedia.   The story of this man tragically ends when God said to him, “You Fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you, then who will get what you have prepared for your self?”  Yes, it is possible to obtain material possessions without a relationship with God, but the price is very high and eventually it will crash with many disappointments.Friends the bottom line is this,  God wants you to enjoy a successful life, but not without a relationship with Him FIRST. God desires and can teach you how to profit.  “I am the Lord your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go” (Isaiah 48:17).  Remember this, “Jesus came to give you life more abundantly” (John 10:10)  Christian Supplies Online publishes articles for obtaining wealth God’s way beginning with a wealthy mindset.  It is the blessing of the Lord that makes one rich and He will add no sorrow with it (Proverbs 10:22).
