To regular persons, wealth is defined by the amount of money, properties, and other material fortunes that a man has. But the Lord said that a man is not measured by the abundance of the things he possesses (Luke 12:15).

If that is the case, how does God measure riches in the kingdom of God? What are God’s parameters for judging a man rich? Let’s not forget that the Kingdom of God is eternal and it is nothing compared to the sinful and temporal system of this world.

The Bible says that God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. According to our text, the Bible says that God chose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and correspondingly possessors of God’s kingdom.

God’s way of measuring how rich a person is by the level of faith such has in Him. A man whose complete dependence is on God is considered the possessor of God. Remember Abraham, the father of faith; Abraham because of his radical faith in God became the possessor of God Himself.
