Word of GOD or worldly riches?
One early
morning, as he rummaged through the garbage bins to find food, a homeless man
stumbles upon a box with a note on the outside: “Within this box are two
compartments that will change your life forever”. “You can choose only ONE!”
He proceeded to
open the box: There was another note on the inside: “Open first the right
compartment”
RIGHT
Compartment: Within was the Authorize King James version of the Holy Bible with
a hand written note:
Jesus, the only
begotten Son of God says: “Blessed are they which are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:10).
“Lay not up for
yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where
thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”
(Matthew 6:19-21).
“How hardly
shall they that have riches enter into the Kingdom of God” (Luke 18:24).
“He that hath an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that
overcometh will I give to eat of the [TREE OF LIFE], which is in the midst of
the [PARADISE OF GOD]” (Revelation 2:7).
“[I AM HE THAT
LIVETH, AND WAS DEAD; AND, BEHOLD, I AM ALIVE FOR EVERMORE], Amen; and have the
keys of hell and of death” (Revelation 1:18).
The homeless man
then proceeded to open the left compartment.

Compartment: Within is the latest smartphone with instructions to turn on and
to play the voice note:
“May name is
anonymous, and you have exactly nine (9) minutes to agree.”
“I have been
observing you for sometime. I have no children to leave my wealth and riches.”
“There is a
folder marked “keys to my wealth”. To give you an example: Swiss bank accounts
in the millions, fully staffed mansions in major cities, private islands,
private jets, luxury cars and the list goes on.”
“However, you
must agree to follow the strict guidelines of the Trustee of my Estate to
preserve this wealth for the next person who shall be chosen upon your death.”
“Finally, you
will have a luxury lifestyle but, you will end up like the rich man in the biblical
story of Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19-31).”
The clock in
ticking and you have six (6) minutes.
What if we were
in this homeless man’s position, which compartment would we choose?
