Many unbelievers who seem to prosper on the earth are shrewd (perceptive, clever, insightful) because they look out for what they believe is their best interest. Many times they see the sky falling on the position that they currently have, or the income from a business endeavor on its way to running out, or a scenario that may come during which they could lose their job. So, they have made friends of the money entrusted to them in a way that can help them fend off prolonged earthly hardship. They are able to go to friends they have made while working and get a job or help or they have stockpiled cash to help them get through such situations.
To be sure, not all unbelievers do this and some of their activities are rooted in underlying attitudes of self-glory, pleasure seeking, and personal fame. Glorifying God is not their aim. Those that do not have a relationship with Christ often aim at satisfying their own bellies. They might use hook and crook to get what they want and they have a twisted view of the type of lifestyle that leads to peace, joy, and eternal satisfaction and aren’t interested in living according to biblical principles in order to obtain the peace that surpasses all understanding.
The shame is that many Christians, per Christ’s own words, do not look out for the best interests of the Kingdom of God and thus for their own best interest. Now to be sure not all unbelievers are just totally bad people that you cannot trust. In fact, some of them have proven to be more faithful, trustworthy, and kind than some that have taken on the name of Christ. In the Earth, they do some very good and helpful things. Their great problem is that they do not have relationship with Jesus Christ and thus no matter how good they may appear on earth they are choosing to allow Satan to aim them to the eternal Hell that awaits him and the fallen angels.
God wants you to be more wise, perceptive, insightful, and clever than unbelievers by allowing Him to aim your intelligence, abilities, vision, and focus on advancing the Kingdom of Heaven through the ministry of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the Earth. This plan keeps you fully vested in the peace, joy, and eternal satisfaction that God promised His people. In order to do so in the financial arena of life, you must learn biblical money management principles so you will know how to honor God in Christ in the church, in your family, and among your acquaintances. By ordering your steps this way, you’ll prosper immensely on Earth and in Heaven and you’ll never have to fret because evildoers around you appear to prosper at a greater rate on earth.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
