Wealth is an item, yet not a single item. Wealth is a combination of several positive factors that coalesce into one formidable significant entity. Often, when human beings talk about wealth, they refer to the simplest commonest form of wealth available which is money. Wealth includes money, but it is much more than that. There are several people with loads of money but can be very poor indeed. Once a man lacks several factors that constitute true wealth, he cannot be referred to as wealthy. What factors are we talking about? Here are a few of them:

Money – to a typical Nigerian, there is nothing more to explain about money, it is a well-known factor around here. It is a considered factor in being wealthy, but money is not all about wealth. Have you ever met a money miss road before? If money is all the wealth you have, you are not wealthy; in fact, you are a poor person.

Character – A good name can open the best of doors and translate into abundant possession; that is a wealth factor. Character is wealth, it can feed a man even when has no money in his pocket. A man of character is a big, strong, and wealthy man; It might not speak for you now, but it will eventually.

Knowledge – Knowledge transcends what you can gain from the four walls of an institution. Education is good but if all you have is what you got from school; you are poor. There are many certificated illiterates that have refused to update their knowledge on regular basis; knowledge is power if your wealth is in physical and material things it can be easily destroyed, but if it is in your knowledge nobody can take it from you.

Relationship – One of the greatest forms of wealth people do not take note of is relationship. How do you relate with people, are you always antagonistic? You are just a relationship away from where God want to take you to, if you behave well to people that comes your way. You do not have all the information, you do not have all the knowledge, some other people have a better idea of that thing you are struggling about. Go and amend your relationship with people, it can bring you into wealth.

Shalom (1 Samuel 25:6) – Shalom is peace but deeper than just peace; it is the peace of God that passes all understanding. It is a clear expression of nothing missing, nothing broken, nothing lacking but everything sound and perfect. That, indeed, is wealth.

Spiritual Blessing (John 3:8) – The spirit of man controls everything about man; and when that spirit is yielded to God, such a life comes under the control of the Holy Spirit of God who is in the know of everything that pertains to life and godliness. A life yielded to God is a spiritually blessed life, a spiritually blessed life is a life that have access to everything made by God; that is wealth in its greatest form. A born-again child of God is at a vantage position in life to access true wealth because he has the mind of Christ. That is the biggest factor in wealth.

Wealthy Place

Now with the understand of the above factors, where can we refer to as a wealthy place? A wealthy place is a place of abundance, a place of overflow that is running over. It is heaven on earth where you experience things happening in heaven. It is a place where you get the fullness of what God has in store for you. A wealthy place is a place of perfection of God’s beauty. It is a place of settlement and a place where God makes room for you. It is that place, that life, that carries those factor that can easily qualify to be called a wealthy place. As a Christian you carry the wealthy place within you, wherever you go and wherever you find yourself (Eph. 3:20)
