Rich man and poor

The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

(Pro.10:15)

The rich people accumulate wealth and it becomes his strong city. He or she who is rich unto God builds a strong spiritual city founded on righteousness. This city is not prone to burglary because it is protected by God. Even if a child of God has materially prospered God has his or her material wealth in the city of God. It cannot be pilfered or stolen by a bank scam or by an ATM theft. God does protect our money if we earn it by our sweat and blood by legal and honest means. This city of wealth becomes strong as we spend it for God's work or minister to the poor saints who really need our funds. The destruction of the poor is their poverty. The materially poor among us are those who do not look to God for finance but look to others for the same. Their poverty is due to lack of faith in God who supplies all their needs. They cannot attempt great things for God because they continue to focus on their begging bowls. Their poverty ultimately leads them to their spiritual destruction. Many pastors living in poor conditions in India continue to approach the rich evangelists or the pastors in US by giving them exaggerated reports or false testimonies just to covet their dollars. They become materially rich overnight by building swanky bungalows and owning swanky cars. This results in their spiritual death. They continue to remain in spiritual poverty in the sight of God, though they have accumulated wealth by deceit. Some megachurch pastors in India misuse the funds received by them from the churches in US and other European nations through Foreign Contribution Regulation Act. They, are judged by God through the governmental machinery for their spiritual poverty.
