The scripture above clearly speaks to exactly what man lost after the fall; the glory of God. Mankind lost something that money couldn’t purchase. It never said man lost the gold, diamonds and all the things that men were given by God to discover and cultivate to make them wealthy. Obviously what was lost will be that to be restored in Christ; peace with God and eternity with the same. Stop fantasizing and put your hands to the plough and work.
Thinking that sowing seeds, (the phenomenon of giving money in exchange for money and material things, and praying long prayers, which of course is important and has its place, makes one rich. All we need to be wealthy have already been provided since creation, let’s go for them. What Christ has restored in you is the nature to acquire it the right way; through genuine diligent work and to use it in His honor; for winning souls and a blessing to all mankind.
The work of Christ gives us the true riches, that nothing in this world could offer. It is worth noting that the expensive things of life have no price tags on them and both the rich and the poor cannot afford. It would be prudent therefore never to see your worth in the abundance of things you possess, that’s why all men including the rich and the poor need the gospel to be saved.
It’s a brand new day! Keep enjoying Kharis!
