Ano ang tawag sa KRISTYANONG tumataya sa LOTTO??? - eh di Mananam PALA-TAYA.
The person who receives sudden wealth has not worked for it enough to understand its value and has not gained sufficient skill in managing it. Thus, God prefers diligent, patient, careful labor that will increase wealth over time.
in Proverbs 20:21 says, “An inheritance claimed too soon will not be blessed at the end. (NIV)
The principle here is that too much wealth, gathered too quickly, may be spent too soon. This could be from an early inheritance that was gained by asking for it or by dishonest means. Either way, it was not gained in the proper way, which can lead to reckless spending and mishandling due to irresponsibility.
Lastly, do you know where the P1 billion jackpot prize came from? It came from the bets of millions of poor and struggling Filipinos who also follow their fantasies in life. Thus, when you accumulate the said amount for yourself as windfall, you are deemed to have “robbed” the money of these poor people who were also deluded by this game of chance. As a jackpot winner, while you are very happy, millions of losers are very lonely.
Brethren, if we seek after riches and gaining them quickly, our appetite will never be satisfied. The root of these desires is GREED and the pursuit for more will never end. The cure for this type of heart condition is CONTENTMENT in what you have and what you have worked for. God bless us all!
