Hello everyone. Today, I want to open my heart about something that often sparks strong reactions—a topic many consider sensitive. Over time, countless people have written to us, saying we’re going to “hell” simply because we are blessed with wealth. They repeat it as if it were absolute truth. But the real question is—why do people believe this so strongly? The root of this belief often comes from a misunderstood Bible verse where Jesus says it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Some take that as if He declared that the wealthy are automatically disqualified. That’s not what He said. What Jesus warned about was the danger of placing our trust in wealth instead of God.

True faith is not about the balance in your bank account—it’s about who holds your heart. If my trust is in Christ and my desire is to live in His will, then everything I have is open for His purpose. The same hands that receive are the same hands that give. That’s why I don’t let criticism about being rich or poor trouble me. My foundation is not in money—it is in God. And because we choose to steward our blessings for His glory, He continues to provide and sustain. People’s opinions do not define truth. What matters is living right and walking faithfully before Him.
When it comes to family, many of us carry heavy burdens, praying for loved ones to change, to turn back, or to find salvation. Let me encourage you—don’t stop praying. But beyond prayer, the most powerful testimony you can give your family is your own life. Be the light they need to see. Words alone can fade, but actions that radiate peace, kindness, and joy leave an undeniable impact. Sometimes we think constant reminders or nagging will change someone, but the truth is—it’s your transformation that speaks louder than any lecture. When your family sees that you’re no longer quick to anger, no longer bitter, but filled with patience and grace, they begin to notice. That’s when they’ll think, “Something has changed. This is real.”
Now, about surrendering to God—this is where many stumble. The Bible tells the story of the rich young ruler, a man who thought he had done everything right. He obeyed the commandments, lived uprightly, but when Jesus told him to give away his wealth and follow Him, the man walked away in sorrow. Why? Because his heart was still bound to what he owned. That story asks us a hard question—what are we still clinging to? Are we truly surrendered, or do we still keep parts of our life under our control, unwilling to let God in?
For me, one of the most life-changing moments was being baptized in the Holy Spirit. That encounter strengthened my faith in a way that no argument, no doubt, could ever shake. It’s real, and I can never deny it. One day, I’ll share the full story with you, because it shaped my entire walk with Christ.
I also want to say this clearly—we love you, and we pray sincerely that anyone who reads or hears these words will be touched. We pray that salvation and peace will find your family, that you will begin living a life worthy of His name. Too many people call themselves Christians while living as though nothing matters, blending in with the world. That’s not true Christianity. And so, we must pray for the body of Christ to grow stronger, bolder, and more faithful.
If you’re reading this and you’re in the middle of a struggle, crying out, “Lord, please take this from me. I can’t carry it anymore,” know this—you’re not alone. We are praying with you. And God will answer. He will deliver you. He will strengthen you. What you’re walking through now does not define you—it is shaping you for greater strength. Don’t let the enemy convince you that you’re defeated. You are already more than a conqueror. Sometimes the battle feels endless, but when you come out on the other side, you’ll see—you were never abandoned, only refined.
