"Bo, can I be honest with you?"

"Sure," I answered Mandy (not his real name), a dear friend of many
years.

"Please don't be offended. But I feel you've lost your focus on the
Lord."

I knew it took a lot for him to say that to me. I felt his discomfort.
I was also disturbed by what he said, coming from someone I trusted.
Mandy is a lay missionary who has been serving God for the longest
time I can remember. He was the leader of a network of prayer groups.

"I welcome your input. Please go on," I said.

"I've been reading some of your articles and I feel uncomfortable
about your topics on finances. I just feel you lack trust in God now.
You depend on your businesses more than on the Lord." (This
conversation took place five years ago, when I began writing about
money.)

"What makes you say that?" I asked him.

"Because I remember the old Bo. When you were poor. When you had no
money. When you stood on the street, with empty pockets, praying to
God for your bus fare to preach in a prayer meeting."

"Those were good days," I said.

"Bo, I'm still poor today. There are days when I don't have money for
my needs. But every time, God provides. And I see so many miracles.
But you've become rich, Bo. You're different now. I really pray hard
for you. May you remain pure."

I said, "Thank you so much. I need your prayers."

After Mandy left, I searched my heart and confronted God.

But all I could find was peace. My decision to get into business, my
decision to teach finances, my decision to become wealthy—I felt even
more convinced that God was smiling at me. As crazy as it sounded,
I've found God in the worldly. I've found God in business and profit.
It was absurd, but I felt closer to Him more now than I've ever been.

That was five years ago. Today, my conviction is as strong as ever.

Since then, there have been many times when Mandy called for help.
Tuition fees for his kids. Hospital bills for his father. Electric and
telephone bills. And his ministry needs.

Each time he'd call me up, he'd be very embarrassed. I knew that he
was the type of person who would rather starve than ask for help. But
he had no choice. He was asking for his family's needs.

Each time, I was very happy to help out my friend. But every time he
came to me, desperate and troubled, I saw what my life would have
become if I didn't decide to work on my finances.
Mandy and I are both missionaries. (I still devote 90% of my time to
ministry.) But here's the difference: Mandy chose to be poor. I chose
to be rich.
My message? Wealth is a choice.
I believe God leaves that up to you.
What's your choice?
