There once lived a rich man
Unquestionable integrity
It is saddening how many so-called "Blessed" believers have wickedly acquired wealth , wealth that is now harming them with resentlessness . Such wealth aquisition when inquired of the methods used . The questioned individual turns to duck and dive because their very consciences have judged them guilty . Wealth that is wickedly acquired will have an incomplete pattern when the mentored desire to aspire in accumulating.
The standard of integrity is quite poor in many believers that are wealthy . It will be your decision as a young believer to be snared by the love of money and no honor for clear integrity principles .
Integrity principles :
1. Traceability
2. Transperency
3. Impartability
4. Convictive
5. Directive
Majority of the wealth acquired by believers is through conformity and compromise. Why ? There are no hidden clauses to integrity. It is either that or nothing . Such compromises and confirmity are due to faithless survival tactics and enviousness towards their neighbours.
It is takes a true relentless conception of grace to be alive to the abundance within the inheritance of faith in Jesus Christ. Meanwhile many possess a dodgy integrity , they are still but worth your love , prayers and mercy.
A true rich man possess an unquestionable integrity for even the increase of the his work is a result of his obedience and love towards God Almighty.

Divine enabler
The in-tuning of the rich man's devotion to God allows him to locate special financial needs that others have that are decoded to him by the Spirit of revelation. He is a friend of God and God's co-worker. He is utterly generous in a way that allows him to be visionary about interceding .
He the rich man collects an abundance in pursuit to enable those that need .

He doesn't just help instead he fully helps till the completion of the project .

Resource manager
Since everything that is trusted to him is God-given . The rich man seeks to justly maintain it , grow it and protect it from misuse either by him and others in pursuit to please his Master .
There is no decision in regards to the resources trusted to him that he will take without inquiring off God either by prayer , counsel and through divine intuition. He the rich understands the importance of moving with God and being led by God in everything.

He is a people's person
Not even governors can compare to his popularity so much that if he was to contest for elections, he would win easily . His friendliness puts smiles on toddlers , brightens the day of the depressed , heals the wounds of the heartbroken and gets women of all ages astonished by his gentleness. His manner of life , purity and resourcefulness inspires young men and sets the standard for young women.
