YOU ARE RICH!!


1 Timothy 6:17- command those who are rich in this present world!

More of us are probably richer than we realize. God didnt say those who are rich in AMERICA, He said in THIS PRESENT WORLD. There are 194 countries in this world.. and the U.S. is only one of them. There are 6.4 billion people in the world.. and only 302 million in America. In other words, only 4.7% of the worlds poulation lives in America. God didnt have a Untited States view, He had a WORLD view.

So now you have to ask yourself, how does MY wealth stack up to the people in this present world?

Lets look at the stats.. If you make $14,500 a year (which is about $7 per hour) you would be in the top 12% richest people in the world. 88% of people are poorer than you.
$25,000- top 7% richest in the world
35,000- top 4% richest in the world

I told you you were rich! You may not think you are because you have been comparing yourself to others in the United States, not the world. In the Bible, Paul states that he who compares himself among himself is a fool.

There is a big world outside your country. If you are on welfare here in the US, you are still the top 15% richest in the world. RICH PEOPLE HAVE MORE ACCOUNTABILITY THAN POOR PEOPLE. Remember the statistics the next time you think rich doesnt apply to you. God says it is harder for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle than a rich man go to heaven. So be on your p's and q's and live to glorify God because you are indeed judged more harshly.

Now I'm not saying to be ashamed of having money, I wholeheartedly believe that God wants us to have money. (Prov. 10:22- The blessings of the Lord makes rich and brings no sorrow to it) So be thankful for your prosperity, just keep in mind that YOU ARE RICH
