THE PARABLE OF THE RICH FOOL cont.
The parable of the rich fool as it relates to our daily living.
Contemptuousness and thoughtlessness toward God are the most essential sins that characterize fallen humankind. Paul discloses to us that when we supplicate, we should make the greater part of our petitions with thanksgiving (read Col. 3:16). When we precede God in the soul of thanksgiving, we're recognizing that we have not delivered the advantages that we have gotten, yet rather we are the beneficiaries of His delicate benevolence and abundant elegance. The man in Jesus' illustration and parable expressed gratitude toward Mother Earth, on the off chance that he said thanks to anything. He had great soil and a decent period of precipitation. What's more, his wealth were amplified exponentially by this colossal harvest.
SELFISHNESS IS THE MOTHER OF ALL SIN.
He asked himself, "What do I do now?" He didn't ask, "How might I utilize this riches that I've gotten to enhance my neighbor, my locale, or the body of Christ (the church)?" Instead, he asked, "How might I discover a place to hide away the greater part of this riches that I've quite recently gotten? I will tear down my outbuildings and assemble greater food shelters." The exact opposite thing in his brain was appreciation toward God. He had no worry for following the Old Testament law of providing for God the firstfruits of what he had gotten from God.
To apply this to our contemporary culture, this man not even once even thought about tithing since it was still relevant at their time, of offering back to God one-tenth of what God had given to him, as the law of God required. We realize that the lion's share of proclaiming Christians today don't care for the body of Christ, because they couldn’t discern the body rather selfishness is parading heavily among many. They're much the same as this man here. They're caught up with their wealth. Their belonging are so vital to them that they keep down on God and their fellow man, barely batting an eyelash at the prospect of neglecting God Himself.
WHAT SAYS JESUS ABOUT RICHES?
Note that this man in Jesus' parable is depicted in two ways. In the first place, he's rich. Jesus does not state that being rich is inalienably a terrible thing. What is awful is the point at which your heart and your spirit are tied up in your riches and your material belonging. The other thing that is said in regards to this man is much more huge and we’re going to say much on that in our next post which will be the concluding part of this parable.

Thanks to @gbenga and @jodipamungkas for this wonderful badge.
Thank you for reading
smiles i really love the point you made so clear... In addition, poverty isn't being broke, poverty is never having enough.
And again as a correction to others who think money is the root of all evil, money they say is the root of all evil, NOTE: but it doesnt mean being poor is HOLY.
Lovely comment, I perceive you’re acquainted with knowledge of the scriptures. More grace.
Thanks
