If we feel that we are weathy enough we give & give to the poor.
If we are wealthy we should only give some & die with the rest
If we are wealthy we should give a minimal amount

I just came *across* a good post ( will find & quote) which prompted me comment. However my thoughts became more than just a passing comment so I decided to instead post this.
Wealthy is the opposite end of the scale to Impoverished.
Where one of these financial circumstance exists very likely will the other.
I don’t believe God would bar a wealthy person from entering his kingdom. Because the devil (so to speak) where the scripture states “it is ‘easier’ for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle 🪡 than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god “
Let’s examine when will wish to enter Gods kingdom?
This will likely be on his death.
Fact is too many rich people die .. leaving vast amounts of wealth, which could have easily changed the lives of those in need.
This is a great sin and something they could have actively changed whilst they were alive.
But instead chose to hoard the resources for themselves and quite possibly their close family members who themselves were unlikely to have needed all of it.
Paying lip service by donating a small amount to charity is likely an insult as well.
Personally I believe that we should dedicate our earthly lives to giving as and where it’s needed. Very often this need is found at a grassroots level .
I don’t mean those who are in need because they have squandered or mismanaged their money.
I mean those who are through no fault of their own are born into or living in abject poverty. They are souls waiting to saved.
God places them here as a barometer for a developmental tool for rich persons conscience. Otherwise how else can his compassion for humanity be measured?
This lesson is not just for the richest of of men and women. It’s a universal lesson and test, that each of us are here for.
I would want to ensure that I had been a philanthropist within an inch of my life before I left this world.
After all if God had blessed me with exceptional wealth, I’m certain philanthropy,
Would have been my life’s mission and what an enjoyable privilege it will have been.
To able to gift light & hope 🙏🏽.. in an otherwise dismal world.
