Luke 12:48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

If we took a survey, the majority of the population desires to be wealthy. Some may want to be millionaires while others desire to be billionaires. As we can see, a lot of us are not millionaires or billionaires. Even some of the believers, who serve a God Who owns all the gold and silver, are not millionaires. Some believers are even struggling to make it from day to day.

Throughout the Word of God, the believer is promised wealth and riches (Psalm 112:1-3; Isaiah 45:3; Prov. 13:22). Even with these promises, why does it seem like wealth is eluding the believer? Could it be the motives of the believer? If we asked most people what they would do with their riches, most of the things would be self-involved. People would invest their money to make more money for themselves, buy a nice house and car for themselves, and enjoy seeing the beautiful sights of the world. There’s nothing wrong with these activities but, what about everyone else? What about the Kingdom of God? 

To whom much is given, much will be required is a principle. If we’re not willing to do something with our riches, why would God give us riches? If we ever want to be millionaires or billionaires, we have to renew our minds to become Kingdom-minded. Kingdom-minded people are not self-involved; they do for others, and most importantly, they do for the Kingdom of God.
