Being Wealthy… is it healthy?


Whoever came out with / coined the term “Filthy Rich” must have had a naughty thought in mind!

Imagine the feeling of a rich man going around with the label on his forehead. Not all of them became rich by dirty means; many rich and successful people are educated and gained wealth by honest and good ways. 

Filthy rich do not apply to ALL rich people! Is being rich a sin? Definitely not!

The Bible mentioned quite a number of rich people with ‘clean records’ and they loved God. Characters like Abraham, David, Joseph, Lydia to name a few.

The Bible did not really focus on ‘how much money u have’ but concerns on WHAT u do with it. The thing is, wherever your money goes, your heart will follow after it.

Matthew 6:21 “Wherever your treasure is, your heart will also be”.

We can be wealthy and rich (don’t worry) and please God with the blessing!


1 Peter 4:10 “God has given gifts to each of you… manage them well so that God’s generosity can flow through you”.
