The Roadmap To Righteous Riches - How Wicked Wealth Transfers To The Righteous
In this 45‑minute YouTube training, Rick Pino of Get Wisdom reinterprets the biblical proverb that “the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous.” He argues that the passage is not about God magically taking money from evil people and handing it to believers, but about divine stewardship: God entrusts resources to each servant according to their ability, and expects them to multiply what they receive. Pino walks through Matthew 25:14‑30 (and Luke’s parallel account), highlighting three key observations – the master calls his own servants, he gives each according to ability, and he demands immediate, productive action. He contrasts the faithful servants (who double their talents) with the fearful servant (who hides his talent), labeling the latter “wicked and lazy.” Pino then debunks the common church teaching that “prayer alone” brings wealth, citing Proverbs 8:18, Ecclesiastes 5:3, and Luke 16:10 to stress wisdom and faithful stewardship as the true pathway. He provides a modern financial conversion of a talent (≈100 lb of gold ≈ $6.4 million today) to illustrate the magnitude of the responsibility. Throughout, he uses analogies (e.g., a child caring for a hamster) and a motivational “take massive action now” mantra, urging listeners to overcome fear, avoid laziness, and expand their capacity through immediate, large‑scale effort. The talk concludes with a call to adopt a multi‑generational vision, invest boldly, and become the kind of steward who will receive ever greater entrustments.

What's up everybody? It's Rick Pino here from Get Wisdom. In today's training, I'm gonna be sharing with you why the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous is less about God taking money from wicked people and giving it to his people, and it's more about stewardship. I'm gonna break it down for you from the parable of talents. You might be familiar with this passage, but I promise you, you have never seen these kind of insights until now. What if I told you that almost every single thing that you have ever been taught your whole life about money was a lie. In fact, one of the biggest lies is how the church has taught God's people on how they think that God is going to entrust money to his people. Anyone here? Can anyone here relate? Wave at me on the screen like this, right? I remember growing up in church and it's like, "All you gotta do is just pray harder." Well, that's not necessarily what the Bible says. Nowhere, in fact, nowhere in the Bible does the Bible say, "Oh, all you gotta do is just pray a little harder and then God's going to give you more money." money. Uh, it doesn't say that anywhere. Isn't that interesting? Listen, please hear me. I'm a man of prayer. I love prayer. I was in prayer for you this morning. Like, yes, you should pray, absolutely, right? But you don't just go, oh God, please give us money, and then he like rains it down. Like, give us more money, and then he rains it down. That's not how it works, right? So number one, the Bible doesn't anywhere say, you know, just pray harder and God's going to give you more money. But the Bible does say the dream comes through much business. That's Ecclesiastes chapter 5, verse 3. The Bible does say when you get wisdom, wisdom brings riches and enduring wealth. That is in Proverbs chapter 8, verse 18. So if you have the desire to grow in riches, then guess what? It's not just pray harder, it's you have to grow in wisdom. Because when you get wisdom, wisdom brings all these amazing sidekicks with her, and riches and enduring wealth according to Proverbs Proverbs 8:18 are some of those sidekicks, right? And also guys, the Bible does say that when you are faithful with little, when you become a good steward, God will entrust you with more, okay? And that's in Luke 16:10. So please, please, please, please, please understand, okay? We need to get unbrainwashed on how we think money works from a biblical perspective. And we actually need to understand how money actually works from a biblical perspective. In fact, I would like to go even deeper into this. Uh, so why don't you come with me here? We're going to— let me pull it up here, guys. I want you to come with me to Matthew chapter 25. And in today's training, guys, I'm going to be breaking down a pretty well-known passage, you know, a pretty well-known parable. But I guarantee you, there are gonna be insights that I wanna share with you that you have probably never realized before, unless maybe you have followed me for a while and heard me talk about it once in a blue moon, right? I talk about this from time to time. Matthew chapter 25, let's dive in to the parable of the talents, okay? What is the parable of the talents and how does this relate to God's people not living in cycles of scarcity and patterns of poverty? I'm glad you asked. Let's dive in. We're gonna go to Matthew chapter 25, starting at verse 14, and we're gonna read through, and then I'm gonna come back and break it all down for you, all right? You guys ready for this? Somebody shout go ahead down in the comments, okay? Matthew 25, verse 14. I am reading, excuse me, I am reading out of the New King James. And it says it like this, "For the kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a faraway country who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave 5 talents, to another he gave 2, and to another he gave 1." By the way, these are talents of gold. These are not like the talent, to be able to juggle or the talent, I'm a talented unicycler, whoa, you know, it's not that kind of talent. These are literal talents of gold, okay? So to one, he entrusts 5, to one he entrusts 2, and to one he entrusts 1, and watch this, each according to his or her own ability. Interesting, so the master is entrusting money to his own people, okay? And he's doing it according to their capacity, to their ability. Now watch this. So he entrusts all this and immediately goes on his journey. Verse 16, then the one who had received 5 talents, watch this, went immediately. Somebody in the comments say, Immediately. That is a very, very, very important word here as we break down what is about to unfold here in this passage, okay? So the one who he gave 5 went immediately, okay? He went immediately and started to trade them. The one who had received 2 went and also traded. Notice here, the one who had received 2 It doesn't say that the one who received 2 went immediately. It just says that the one who received 2 also went and traded. Interesting. Let's keep that there for context. And the one who received 1 went and dug a hole in the ground and hid his lord's money. And there it is again, my friend. It's not the talent to be able to juggle. It's not the talent of I'm a talented painter. The master entrusted money to his own people. Let's continue on. After a while, the master came back to the servants to settle his accounts with them. Verse 20: He who had received 5 talents came and brought 5 more talents, saying, 'Lord, you gave me 5 talents, and look, I have gained 5 more talents on top of what you entrusted to me. Verse 21, then the master said to him, well done, good and faithful servant. Pause right there. Where else in the Bible do we ever see that kind of language? Well done, good and faithful servant. Oh yeah, it's when the righteous stand before God on the day of judgment. Interesting. Let's continue on here, okay? So he says, "Hey, master, look, you gave me 5 and here's 10 back." The master goes, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Interesting, man. You've been faithful over a few things, 'Now I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.' Now here's what's very, very interesting, okay? I believe it's over in Luke's account of the parable of the talents. Luke's account literally says this: 'Well done, good and faithful servant. Because you have been faithful over little, I will entrust you over 10 cities. Consider that. Luke's account says for every talent that the servant was faithful to multiply, every single talent was almost a— it was like a down payment on a city that that servant would be entrusted to rule and reign over in the age to come. What is happening? Like, what? What is going on here? Are y'all seeing it? Let's continue on. So the one with 5 basically brings back 10 and says, "Yo, master, here you go. Thank you. I doubled it." Master goes, "Well done, good and faithful servant. You did an amazing job. Congratulations." The one who had had 2— excuse me— the one who had received 2 talents came to the master and said, "Lord, you delivered me 2, and look, I have gained 2 more besides what you entrusted to me. Verse 23, and the master said to him, well done, good and faithful servant. There's that language again, right? The language that is used for the righteous. Well done, good and faithful servant. You've been faithful over little, I will make you ruler over many things. Verse 24, here's where it gets a little bit scary here. Gets a little rocky here, okay? Verse 24, "Then he who had received one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you were a hard man. I knew that you expected to reap where you have not sown, to gather where you have not scattered seed, and I was afraid.'" Isn't it so interesting that the one with five went immediately took immediate action, right? And the one who had been entrusted with 2, even though they didn't go immediately, they still took action. But the one who had been entrusted with 1 didn't even do anything. Why? Because he was afraid. I was afraid, so I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, here is what is yours. Then the master answered and said to him, "You wicked and lazy servant." Wait a second. He just used language for the one with 5 who turned it into 10 and the one with 2 who turned it into 4. The master looks at them and says, "Well done, good and faithful servant." That's language for the righteous. And then the one who was afraid and didn't do anything, didn't multiply anything that was entrusted on their life, goes, "Yeah, man, you're hard and this was tough and I was so scared and here, just take back whatever you gave me, just here. I'm not even gonna do anything with it 'cause I was so afraid." The master looks at them and says, "You are wicked and lazy. You knew that I expect to reap where I have not sown and I expect to gather where I have not scattered seed." The master's literally saying, You know it. I, I am expecting to reap where I didn't sow, and I'm expecting to gather where I did not sow seed. Because if I entrusted something to you, I expect you to do something with it, to multiply it. So the master goes on, verse 27, and says, you ought to have at least deposited my money. There's that word again, money. It's not the talent of unicycling or juggling or painting or singing good. We're talking about money here, guys. You should have went and deposited my money with the bankers so at least when I had returned, you could have given it back to me with some interest. He's like, you couldn't have done anything with it? Like you didn't do anything at all because you were that scared? You should have at least went and done something. So take that. This is, this is probably the most like mess with your financial and even quote unquote goodness of God theology statement, one of them anyways, that is in the Bible in my opinion. Take the talent from him and give it to the one with 10. The master is literally saying, look, take from he who doesn't have anything and give it to the one who knows what to do with it. That'll mess with your theology right there. What if, what if the one with one just prayed a little harder? That's not how it works. Then he goes on to say an even more like savage, truth-filled, and since God is love, this can't be rude. It's in love that he's speaking this, but this statement that just sends shockwaves, I believe shockwaves into like false financial ideology in God's people's minds. Verse 29, the master says, for everyone who has, more will be given to him, and that person will have abundance. But for him or her who doesn't have, even what he has will be taken from him. Let's pause right there. What in the world is going on here? Okay, well, first and foremost, can I break it down for y'all? Somebody in the comments say, "Break it down, Uncle Rick." I'm ready to break this down for y'all because you need to start seeing economy and stewardship and finances the way that God sees it and not the way that church sees it. I love church. I is a church people. But friends, I submit to you, most everything that you've ever been taught about money, both in culture, in life, and in the church, specifically in the church, especially in the church, has been lies. Why? Because most church people are broke and they don't even understand how money works themselves. But let me break this down for you. What, what are some of the points that we see here in the Parable of the Talents? I'm glad you asked. The first thing that I notice is that the master calls to himself His own servants, his own servants. Now here's a false belief that so many Christians have, so many believers have, and it's this belief of like, well, you know, Proverbs says that the wealth of the wicked is stored up for the righteous. So God's gonna take money from the bad people, from the wicked people, and he's gonna give it to his people. Hallelujah, all we gotta do is pray harder. If you just pray a little harder, God's gonna just shake it down from the devil and just give it to his church people. Woo-hoo, hallelujah. But let me ask you this question, okay? Are there any parents here? Wave 'em in the screen like this if you are a parent, a grandparent, right? As a parent, okay, if your child is not doing the best job with taking care of something that you have entrusted to them. Okay, for instance, one of my kids wanted a— what's that thing called? Like a hamster or gerbil, one of these weird rodents that lives in your house, but they're like contained in the cage thing or whatever. I forget what it was. It was either a hamster or gerbil, one of those fluffy rodent pets, okay? And so my son, he was like, hey, I want a, what was it, like a hamster or something. I want this hamster. Like, all right. So we get him this hamster and he's feeding the thing, but he's not really paying attention. He only cleans out the cage like maybe once a week or something. And you know, and the poor hamster's in there just like trying to make it through. And we're like, buddy, you gotta take care of this guy. Did you feed him today? Oh man, I forgot to feed him dinner. Let me run up and feed him. I go, bro, How would you feel if somebody forgot to feed you dinner? Oh man, it wouldn't be good. Exactly, go feed your hamster dinner, bro. What are you doing? You know, 'cause he's young and he's learning, okay? And literally comes to my wife and I one day, he's like, hey mom and dad, can I get like a couple more hamsters? So that way like, you know, this guy can have some friends. And we're like, heck no. And he's like, what, why? And we're like, bro, You're barely doing a good enough job taking care of one. Why would we give you 3 hamsters? Can any parents or grandparents here, can anyone here relate to what I'm saying? Wave at me on the screen like this. Maybe it's not a hamster, maybe it's a different scenario, okay? So here's what I wanna submit to you, okay? God Almighty, like the wisest king in the universe, Is the wisest king in the universe going to go, "Hey you, since you're my child, even though you're terrible with money and you don't know anything about it whatsoever and you're scared to even go for it and take any action, I'm just gonna give you even more money. Here you go." That's not how it works, right? So this false idea that all you gotta do is just pray a little harder and God's gonna entrust you more. No, look, it literally says the master called his own servants to him. It didn't say he called some wicked servants and then his own servants. The context here, guys, they are all the master's servants. So we're talking about, and it says the kingdom of heaven is like. So literally we are seeing this concept of the wealth of the wicked stored up for the righteous has nothing nothing to do with God taking money from bad people who don't love God, and I'm gonna take it from the devil and give it to my people. That's not how this works. The concept of the wealth of the wicked stored up for the righteous, I submit to you, the one who multiplied what was given to him, the master called basically righteous. Well done, good and faithful servant, you're righteous. And then the one who literally was scared to do anything, he said, you're wicked. Take what the wicked has and give it to the righteous. Are y'all seeing this? The concept of the wealth of the wicked sort of for the righteous, I submit to you, is it's nothing to do with like God's gonna take it from the devil and give it to God's people. No, it has more to do with, are you actually going to not be afraid to take massive action and actually go Do something with the knowledge, with the wisdom, with the skills, with the information and the opportunities that have been given to you, and go multiply them. Because whoever has, more is going to be given to them. And whoever doesn't do anything and goes, "Ah man, this was too hard and I was so scared," God's literally going to take from those people whether they are righteous or wicked or not. God's going to take from those who are not good stewards, and he is going to give it to those who are good stewards. Are y'all seeing it? So number one, we understand that the master calls his own servants. It's not about money moving from bad people to good people, okay? Number two, here's another insight that I see here in this powerful story, okay? The Bible says that He gave each according to his ability. How many of you know if you don't have the ability to be a good steward of hundreds, God's not going to entrust thousands to you. And if you don't have the ability to be a good steward of thousands, God's not going to entrust the tens of thousands thousands to you? And if you don't have the ability to be a good steward of the tens of thousands— God's not going to entrust hundreds of thousand seeu! —and if you don't have the ability to be a good steward of the hundred thou-sands, guys I'm gonna trust them millions to you! And if you don't have the ability to be a good steward of the millionz he's not gonna intrussth thens-of-millionzz annd the hun-drzd-zillion-see-u! Are you understanding this?! He gives each according to their own ability now here's the Good News for you... Wherever your ability is right now, you can grow it. Wow, that sounds amazing. How do I grow it? I'm glad you asked. You follow the clues of what we have just seen in Matthew 25. How do you grow your capacity? You punch fear in the face, and just like the one who was entrusted with 5 talents, You go immediately, you take massive action. I don't know if y'all ever heard this before, but somebody out there is always saying a little phrase that says, "Action takers are what? They're money makers." Don't just think by showing up to a coaching call that you're taking action. Yes, you're doing a great job of receiving information. That is awesome. But until you actually get into the weeds of building lead magnets, and starting to get met— your message and your value out there and start making offers and start selling things and start marketing and start fulfilling, until you actually get in there and start doing something with it, nothing's gonna happen. That's why I'm always telling y'all, don't just be addicted to education but allergic to execution. Is it making sense? Somebody shout yes down in the comments if you're starting to see it. It's like, wait, oh my gosh, I love that I'm showing up on these coaching calls, but man, I gotta actually do something. You gotta go do something, right? So number 1, he gives to his own servants. So this is about God's people becoming better stewards. Number 2, he gives each according to his own ability. Listen, you might only have the ability for 1 right now. You might only have the ability for 2 right now. You might have the ability for 5 right now. Whatever your ability is, go do something with it. He's not asking everybody to be at a level 1 million ability, right? Like, none of us start there, but every single one of us can get there. And how do we get there? By being faithful with the ability that we currently have. Are y'all seeing it? Yes, somebody shout yes in the comments if it's starting to— if the light bulb's starting to come on, right? So again, I think another very, very important principle we see here, number 3, okay? The one who he gave 5— I kind of touched on this already— went immediately Right? The one who he gave to went. Doesn't say immediately, but still took action, right? Guess what's better than action? Massive, right now. It's always now o'clock for successful people. Action. Not tomorrow, not next, not next time, not next season, not later. Do it now, do it now, do it now, do it now. Get it done now. Massive action, because I don't know if you ever heard this, but no action leads to no results. Little action leads to little results. Massive action leads to what? Massive results. And I'll throw this in there too. Fast action can lead to fast results. Slow action, it's better than no action, but slow action leads to slow results. Are you guys seeing it? Are you guys— I'm trying to help you all today. Are y'all seeing it? Right? So you got to take action. Don't just be addicted to education but allergic to execution. You must take action. Right? And here's another point I want to pull out of this, okay? The one with one— why were they not able to do anything? And then the master turns around and actually calls them wicked. Why? Because They were afraid. In fact, go back through and look at the excuses that the one who was entrusted with one, look at the excuses that they're giving to the master. I knew that it was hard. You're a tough leader. Like, you're expecting to reap where you didn't even sow. What is this person saying? They're saying, I was overwhelmed. And because I allowed overwhelm to be bigger than me, I was afraid and I didn't do anything with what you entrusted to me. I just buried it in the ground. Here you go. And the master says, because that is your perspective, you are wicked and you are lazy. It's gonna take work, y'all. It is going to take work. You can't be lazy, right? Like you can't have a slack hand. The hand of the diligent will make them rich. That's what the Bible tells us, right? You must be diligent. You must take action even if it's hard, even if you don't feel like it, you've still got to go and multiply the talent that God has put on your life. Speaking of talents, Can I break it down even more for you? Somebody in the comments say, go ahead, Uncle Rick. Watch this. I hope y'all brought a pen and a paper. I'm trying to break this down for y'all, okay? So now that we see multiple, multiple times in there when the Bible's saying that talents were entrusted, we are seeing now that it's— yes, indeed, it is talking about money, specifically about gold. Okay? No, it's not talking about like, "Well, I'm talented. I can sing good. I can play good." Okay, that's awesome. But this context is talking about money. Let's break this down, okay? So you can go verify this later, go look it up later. Now all this, of course, is rough numbers that I'm about to show you because obviously that time is a little bit different than our time. But I'm just going to give you kind of a broad perspective of what is a talent of gold. Like what could it potentially ballpark-ish range actually be, right? So one talent is equal to roughly, some scholars say it could be as low as 60 to 75 pounds. Some scholars say that it could be up to 130 pounds. I'm gonna call it just rough numbers. A talent is roughly about 100 pounds. Of gold. Okay? So a talent is roughly 100 pounds of gold, depending on what scholar you're looking at, maybe a little less, maybe a little more. So let's just go right in the middle, about 100 pounds of gold. Okay? Now, the gold standard, okay, the way that gold is priced is per ounce. You guys know this, okay? So if we're going to price something by ounces, we need to take 1 pound of gold, P-O-U-N-D. How much is a pound of gold in ounces? And I've already done the math for you. 1 pound of gold is 16 ounces. Okay? There are 16 ounces. In 1 pound of gold. Are y'all tracking? Wave at me on the screen like this if y'all are tracking. Yes, yes, yes. Okay. Now, because there are 16 ounces in 1 pound of gold, today's current going rate for an ounce of gold is roughly— 1 ounce of gold is equivalent to roughly $4,200. Let's just call it $4,000. Okay? So, 1 ounce of gold is worth roughly $4,000. Now, of course, Bible times, probably a little different, maybe half that much, maybe a third of that much. I'm just giving you a ballpark to, like, open up your perspective to see a picture here of what's actually going on. Okay? But in today's world, okay, 1 ounce of gold is worth roughly $4,000. So, The math is— you guys ready for this? The math is 4,000— oops— 4,000 times 16 times 100 pounds in a talent. Okay, so 4,000 times 16 times 100 pounds is equivalent to, 1 talent of gold is equivalent to roughly $6.4 million. Again, Bible times are a little different. Maybe it was a little less back then, but you get the point, okay? It wasn't just some flippant thing like, "Hey man, here's $20, like, go multiply it, otherwise you're wicked." It's not that, okay? Okay, like the master entrusted real money to his people, not to like wicked people out there. It says he called his own servants to him, and then according each to their own capacity, to their own ability. So what this actually comes out to, guys, is the one who is entrusted with one talent He entrusted them with roughly $6.4 million. Okay? The one who he entrusted with 2 talents, again, these are a little bit arbitrary, but you guys get the point. The one with 2, roughly $12 million-ish, right? And the one with 5, each according to his own ability, The one with 5, he entrusted roughly $60 million in today's currency, okay? Is this making sense so far, guys? So this wasn't just like this like flippant, like, "Hey man, here's $100, like go multiply it." And like, "I'm scared to do anything with this $100." No, no, no. The master's saying, "Look, I have the desire to call my own servants to me and entrust something to them." each according to their own capacity. But you have got to be willing to be like the one with 5 who went immediately, not like the one with 1 who was like, I was scared, it was too overwhelming, I didn't want to have to do all that work. Oh, here, just take your money back. He goes, what if I— here's literally what the master told him. If I entrust something to you, I expect for you not just to do something with it, to multiply it, to blow it out of the water, at least to double it. Like, at least to double it. That's what the one with 2 did. That's what the one with 5 did. At least bare minimum double what I've given you. I don't want to do all that. That's a lot of work. That's overwhelming. I'm afraid. Here, just take your money back. Ugh, you're a hard master to serve. And he goes, you're wicked and you're lazy. I'm going to take what I tried to entrust you with, but because you were wicked, scared, lazy, allowed overwhelm to be bigger than you, I'm going to take what I tried to entrust you and I'm just going to give it to those who know what to do with it.. And unfortunately, those who don't have and they're not willing to go for it, whatever they have is going to be taken from them. That's what, my friends, please hear me. That's literally why people who are struggling and aren't trying to better themselves, they're not trying to build their business. They're not trying to actually take action. They're just like, well, maybe I'll just do another coaching call. Maybe I just, I'm just scared. I'm just gonna keep going to my job. No, it's too much. I don't have to learn all that. That's why they keep struggling. Because each according to his own ability. If you don't have the ability, even with the little that you have, why in the world would the wisest king in the universe go, well, hey, let's just take some money from the devil and give it to you. You've been such a terrible steward, let's give you more so you could just destroy your life even more. That's not how it works. Those who are actually doing, they get entrusted with more. Listen, you've seen it over and over and over. Many, many, many, many of my students, those who don't do anything, a year later they're like still in the same place. Those who take massive action and don't give up and continue to push even whenever it's hard and they show up and they ask questions and then they go do and then they make mistakes and then they get some wins and they make mistakes and they get some wins and they're growing and growing and growing. Guess what? A year later, they're doing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars later. Why? Because to him who has, even more will be given. You can increase your capacity by the level of action that you take, but you can't be scared. You can't allow overwhelm to be bigger than you and you can't be lazy. You gotta go for it. So friends, please hear me. If you have the desire to be entrusted with great wealth, not just for you, I believe one of the reasons why so many of God's people stay lacking is because they only have a vision that's big enough for themselves. Whew, if I could just pay my bills, that'd be amazing. No, you need to get a big vision that literally needs, 3 generations to accomplish. Like, you need to get a vision that's big enough for you, your children, and your children's children at least. Like, that's the starting point in the kingdom of the level of vision that you should have. But guess what? You can't just have a big vision. You got to have a big action. You got to make big investments, right? You got to live big. You can't be playing small. You got to play big. You gotta go for it. And I'm telling you, the strangest thing happens when you start going for it. The one with 5 went immediately. And what do you know? More was entrusted to him. The one with 2, even though it wasn't immediate, they were like, "You know what? I'm not gonna allow this overwhelm to get me. I'm not gonna allow fear to hold me back. I'm actually gonna go for it." Even them, They went and doubled. And the master said, "Awesome job. Well done. You've been faithful with this. I'm going to trust you with even more." Like, friends, again, please go check Luke's account on the parable of talents. I need to submit something to you here, okay? If you only understood. Now I want to peer into the age to come just for a moment here. If you only understood that your business, it's not just about you making a little bit of money so you could be a little more comfortable? What if you building your business and figuring this financial thing out and actually building something that shakes you, your children, and your children's children's financial future? What if it was actually about the master putting you through training so that in the age to come, like in Luke's account, everything that you multiplied was literally a deposit for a whole city coming up in the future. Well, I don't want to do all that. That's a lot of work. Fine. Then whatever he gives to you and you don't want to go for it, he's going to give to somebody else like me who's going to go for it. Are y'all seeing it? Somebody drop some fire emojis down in the comments if you guys and gals are seeing it. So what is the lesson here, my friends? The lesson here is this: you cannot believe the lie that church has told you your whole entire life, just like it told me, is that if you want more money, all you got to do is pray harder. Just believe stronger, brother. Hallelujah. That's not how it works. Yes, you should pray, but remember, faith without Works. Faith without action is dead. Don't just pray about it. There comes a time where you can't just pray about it only, you got to start being about it. And the way you be about it is to take action. Go immediately. I'm looking at you in the digital eyeballs right now. Go immediately and do it now. The very thing that you are putting off 'cause it feels too big, too overwhelming, I'm scared, I don't wanna do that, I don't have to figure that out, Go do it now. Go immediately so that you can grow your capacity and the master will see, wow, she's doing such a great job, he's doing such a great job, I should probably entrust him with more. Or you can be like 99% of people out there is like, nah, that's too big, that's too scary. I don't have to do all that. I'm just gonna chill. I'm just gonna Netflix out. I'm gonna play some more video games. I'm just gonna bury my head in the sand 'cause I don't wanna have to deal And the master goes, "Ah, too bad. Let me take it from you and I'm gonna give it to somebody who actually knows what to do with it." Don't be that person, my friend. Ladies and gentlemen, the wealth of the wicked has been stored up for the righteous, but it's not about God taking money from the devil and giving it to his people. It's about God is looking right now for who will be the best stewards with what He has entrusted to them. And the better steward you can become, the more He will give you. And the worse steward you decide to be, He will take more from you. The choice is yours, my friend.
