When God Says …
“He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, He shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.” (Proverbs 28:8 KJV)
Whatever state of living anyone has is not an excuse to acquire unjust gain. And for those who already have much, when they leech in further to amass more possessions, they are not going to hold it for long. This passage tells us that it will be taken away from them. It will fly away into the hands of those who deserve it. It is not theirs in the first place, especially if they are taking advantage on the misery of the diligent. This is the Lord's super natural redistribution of wealth to the rightful people who earned it. Them, whose trust is in Lord Jesus Christ, will be provided much to give to the needy. They’ll be blessed with more, as it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35).
And, to the unjust, the greedy of the world's fleeting resources, the Word of the Lord warns: “And a final word to you arrogant rich: Take some lessons in lament. You’ll need buckets for the tears when the crash comes upon you. Your money is corrupt and your fine clothes stink. Your greedy luxuries are a cancer in your gut, destroying your life from within. You thought you were piling up wealth. What you’ve piled up is judgment. All the workers you’ve exploited and cheated cry out for judgment. The groans of the workers you used and abused are a roar in the ears of the Master Avenger. You’ve looted the earth and lived it up. But all you’ll have to show for it is a fatter than usual corpse. In fact, what you’ve done is condemn and murder perfectly good persons, who stand there and take it. ” (James 5:1-6 MSG)
