Is It Sin To Die Poor?

My parents both came from poor families. Okay, both my parents are related to their respective middle class clans. But because they grew up during the post-WW2 years, were almost everyone struggled financially, recovering from poverty was hard for them to accomplish.

To answer the question whether it is sin be born poor, my answer is an obvious No. But if one chooses to stay poor, then that is equates to being irresponsible steward of God’s blessings in life. And therefore it is sin to remain and die poor.

But is it solely the “sinner’s” fault to not know how to overcome poverty during his or her lifetime? What if the society he lives in does not provide opportunities for him to learn how to gain wealth and stop being poor? I believe, that those who have the ability and the desire to become rich financially and morally has the obligation to reach out and teach those who can not and do not understand the value of becoming wealthy while living.

If one person dies poor, he has most likely sinned. If a financially literate person denies sharing and helping a brethren become informed about growing his financial condition has done a graver sin.

The lesson to be shared is simple. Lead by example to your neighbors, peers, officemates, classmates, relatives, friends, and loved ones by living within your means and showing them lovingly how to grow the little money that you have to become prosperous and to achieve dreams.

Here are our upcoming financial education events that we can share to our family members, friends, and fellow Filipinos in the Philippines and abroad.

Some of these seminars, workshops and coaching sessions are for free. The rest are paid seminars with affordable fees. If you can spend on things that you barely need but can cost you your arms and legs, then why can’t you pay for an opportunity for you to gain more?

“But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.” – Deuteronomy 8:18
