"Blessing of HIS People!"
There are many who view blessings in their life in a much different way than did the Apostle Paul.
Where were the riches, fortunes and wealth of those 1st Century Apostles and disciples, who daily struggled against severe opposition and persecution for their UNCOMPROMISEing Faith in Christ?
Until a Believer in Christ fully understands the reason why God prospers someone who remains indifferent to the Gospel, then and only then are we able to understand why Jesus spoke concerning this to the rich young man in Mark 10:21-31.
Christ confronted on numerous occassions, people with earthly wealth and riches, who reasoned that their wealth and prosperity were attributed to their own good and kind works, based on their righteousness alone.
God's WORD speaks of the punishment for having placed faith in works of the flesh, treasures that perish with the man, but where one seeks the Works of Holy Spirit, bringing Honor and Glory to Christ, then Salvation is something that is worth dying for.
Would it not be more pleasing in God's eyes, to be a blessing to those who are hungry and lost as was the Apostle Paul, or to be blessed with riches and wealth and be obstinate, guilty of dismissing the suffering for the Gospel of Christ, where HIS Spirit is subdued and hindered in the Work of the Lord?
Who then will give up all they have to inherit God's Promise of Eternal Life, when so many are dying without Hope and the Knowledge of Christ, our Lord and Savior?
God delivers the Power and Wealth of HIS Kingdom through Holy Spirit, into the hearts of those who diligently seek to be rich in Spiritual Gifts and Spiritual Works!!!
