Each one of us should use whatever gift he or she has receieved to serve others faithfully and maximally too (1st Peter 4:10) so says the scripture. Now, are you rich? If yes, then listen up, your money or wealth is a gift from God. Thus, use it up to bless someone else or others as long as you live. Besides that, are you blessed with any other intangible stuffs like insights, words of wisdom, inspirations or motivations? If yes, then endeavour to share it all with someone else or others. For, God almighty (the giver of every good and perfect gift, James 1:17) expects you to share out everything he has given to you. ~Emeasoba George
