The Wisdom of Charitable Acts
Wisdom is the ability
to use knowledge, the gift of knowing what to do when you do not know what to
do. That is why the Bible refers to wisdom as the principal thing. In all thy
getting, get wisdom.
Wisdom is the
gateway to life – life in Christ Jesus and the numerous benefits of a life in
Christ. Wisdom is a byproduct of a fervent loving relationship with God through
Jesus Christ. Wealth, true wealth in Christ Jesus is a byproduct of wisdom.
Wisdom is what
grants a person loved by God and who is also in love with God through Christ
Jesus access to wealth, endurable or sustainable wealth /riches. Material and
financial affluence are byproducts of wealth, a byproduct of wisdom.
Problem solving
skills are a gift from God to enrich you. They should therefore not be thrown
at swine. Mother Teresa possessed incredible problem solving skills which she
used for the benefit of the poor and vulnerable in society.
Was Mother Teresa
wealthy? Yes and if permit me, she was very very wealthy, in point of fact, a
trillionaire. How? She fed many poor people, sheltered many homeless people,
cared for and nursed a number of sick people back to health, put smiles on the
faces of many people who had lost hope and confidence. Mother Teresa restored
hope to the hopeless and gave dignity to those society had cast away. She was
truly wealthy as she sacrificed what could have been a life of comfort and
luxury for the poor and vulnerable in India to have life and dignity. Her
wealth cannot actually be defined or categorized.
The wisdom of
charitable acts is wealth untold. When you feed the poor and vulnerable; and
enrich the lives of other people with great acts of kindness, then you are
truly wealthy in Christ Jesus.
Dorcas clothed widows, probably orphans as well and other people who could not afford clothes. These same people probably interceded for her as they refused to accept the report of her death. Dorcas was brought back to life by the prayers of the Apostle Peter. Please read Acts Chapter 9 verses 36 to 42 for details. A wealthy woman and widow; not only in the sight of God but to all people who have a true understanding of wealth. Please read 2nd Timothy Chapter 5 verses 1 to 10, note also verses 11 to 16 and Luke Chapter 2 verses 36 to 38.
The Prophetess
Anna spent her life interceding day and night for the will of God to be
established in the life of humanity. Though a young widow who could easily
remarry and have children; she chose service in the house of God for the high
plans and purposes of God for humanity and for her. Beloved, Anna was truly
wealthy.
Cornelius was also
very wealthy. His generosity to the poor attracted the attention of heaven and
God ensured that he became saved alongside his family members.
A distributor of wealth does not hoard wealth. That is why the Bible records that the liberal soul shall be made fat; that is enriched on all sides. Please read Proverbs Chapter 11 verses 24 to 25. Become a distributor of wealth and watch God enrich you on all sides in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Shalom.
