Common  Verses about Riches

Blessed are the poor in spirit (Mat. 5:3). This verse talks about spiritual aspect not material. It pertains generally either beggar or rich people who has not yet received and follow Jesus they are the same poor in spirit and need salvation. So if they humble themselves and recognized their need of God then they will be blessed.

Mat 6:19  "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth". This verse means someone who is gathering treasures for the sake of accumulating massive amount of wealth without purpose. 
Someone who does this is really doing wastefully because when he die he will leave it all.

But if someone plans properly so that he can provide the necessities of his family, give proper education to children and prepare their future, help God's ministries and missions, help the community then this person is not gathering wealth but he is using the wealth of God to be blessings to his own family and to other people. He having demonstrated to be a good person as a believer of God might show light to others that to believe in God is always on the advantages side. This was demonstrated by all people of God in the scriptures all of them were rich. 

1Jo 2:15  Do not love the world or the things in the world. This verse talks about love, not simply love but a kind of love which is greater than loving God. The bottom line here is the attitude of rejecting God. Even if someone is not rich but if he believes himself or the nature more than believing God then God's anger will be upon him. This is the reason why Satan and all his followers were cast away from God's kingdom because they ignore God. 

But if we use the blessings to exalt God then in this way God would be glorified. We buy shoes, mobile phone, car and good houses not because we love them but because they are necessary while we live. Loving them is a different issue.

We must never be confused the word "materialism" from " building ourselves for life's challenges". We don't have problem with materialism, it's up to someone if he is capable to poses anything, it is his right as long as he will not violate the rights of others. What we are dealing is our problem. We have huge  problem and to be a victim of those is fatal. The problem of poverty, diseases and poor mentality. If we ignore these realities we will obviously be heading towards the terrible suffering of pain and other evils. Our only option is to act by building ourselves with totality; mental, emotional, physical and financial preparations. If we remain ignoring them then we must not question why this suffering is so prevailing. God has already given us the complete tools, skills, people, technology and opportunities.
