How to Get Rich

Luke 12:16-21
And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

To become rich, one must learn to make wise investments:

Exodus 19:5, Invest in God's people
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

Psalm 119:127, Invest in God's word,
Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold.

Proverbs 16:16, Invest in wisdom
How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

Proverbs 22 1A, Invest in a good name
GOOD name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.

Proverbs 22:4, Invest in humility and fearing God
By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.

James 2:5, Invest in faith
Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

1 Timothy 6:18, Invest in good works
That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate;
