its just the word being fulfilled
1 Timothy 6:9-10
King James Version (KJV)
9But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.
10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after,
they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Im not saying being rich is a sin..If God bless you that way AMEN!, but the bible warns about how riches can seperate us from God. Alot of the people i believe started out with a sincere heart from God..One example I will use is Juanita Bynum...when she first came out...this lady prrrreeeeacccchhhddddd! She didnt play with sin! She spoke against wordliness! but I notice when she became rich her messages changed a bit...It was no more on the dying of the flesh but more on the things of this life..
Alot of times, fame and wealth can blind us from the things of God..
Proverbs 30 7-9
7Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die:
8Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches;
feed me with food convenient for me: 9Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is the LORD? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in vain
Some just cant handle riches...Thats why the Proverb says...give me whats convenient for me...We have to know what we can handle
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
"He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and
the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. (Matt. 13:18-22)
