The kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost, so says Roman 14:17.
As a christian, i do not live a segmented life. That is, the spiritual life and the secular life (or opinions), the business life and family life, the christian life is one seamless whole. It is only segmented for better management but the same principles that apply in church on sunday morning apply on the street on friday evening, principally wisdom is the main thing.
Grace is what makes this life possible. You cannot create a seamless whole with whatever education you have, only the grace of God, his unmerited favor, free gift allows you to do this.
Grace is the central point of the gospel, and it calls me an epistle written by the Spirit of the Living God. As i live this seamless life, i am able to communicate this grace to many more people, and such a beautiful life brings glory to God when people see what my life has become - a victorius life. Glory to God!

Biblical Perspectives on Wealth
The basic concept of wealth is: IF YOU KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT MONEY AND WEALTH, YOU WILL REDUCE MONEY - INDUCED STRESS.
Riches attract friends (Proverbs 14:20). Wealth also has wings and flies away. It is very important for the Christan to pray to God the Father to release from the 'normal' conundrum of paying bills for example, rent and buy your own home. Indeed, one of the characteristics of rich people is that they own the roof over their heads.
Keep in mind that genuine faith is far more precious than any amount of gold. Riches truly are corruptible. They are uncertain riches, so we cannot place any faith on them but in the God that gives us riches to richly enjoy.
In the pursuit of possessions, use the same wealth and possessions to pursue Jesus. Remember, wisdom is the principal thing. Get it and get understanding.
God bless us with wealth and wisdom to use wealth to advance your agenda on the earth. Your will be done.
