There are lots of people who are in a hurry to become rich. For this reason, they look for shortcuts or "quicker" ways to achieve this. To them, their Creator does not "answer" them quickly, so, they look elsewhere, not knowing that they are pursuing multiple bitterness.

There is a question such people do not ask or they are ignorant of the truth that it is not possible to give something you do not have to someone. To run to someone for help who does not have what they need will end up getting a fake one. The helper will either find false help for them or steal from somewhere to satisfy them with a stringent condition(s) that may not be known to the seeker of help.

Whoever steals is a thief. He is ready to kill and destroy also. So those who desert their Creator to seek riches elsewhere are making dangerous adventures that will end in regrets, here on the Earth and also in Heaven.

Riches from other sources, besides that provided by God, have sorrow embedded in them. Riches With sorrow end up in regrets.

It is only the Lord Who gives riches without adding sorrow but joy. He alone has and gives durable riches. He is ready to give those who are His own. Living to please Him is a catalyst for receiving riches from God. In summary, to receive riches from God calls for leaving and cleaving.

What does this mean? It means leaving all your wrongdoings and your accomplices as well as the location for doing so. Then, resolve to do the will of God Who has the script of your life in His hand. He will be with you and bless you. Riches are in His hand, durable riches. Do not forsake His riches to run after other riches that will end in sorrow and regrets. Stay blessed and prepare for the imminent coming of the Lord.
