1. 不要拿未來的健康，去彌補現在的貧窮；不要拿現有的親情，去換取未來的富足，因為當你連健康和親情都失去，你就真的是天下最貧窮的人了。
「人若賺得全世界，卻賠上自己的魂生命，有甚麼益處？人還能拿甚麼換自己的魂生命？」（馬太福音16:26）
For what shall a man be profited if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul-life? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul-life?－Matthew 16:26
2. 只管把你們的缺乏告訴神。不要為了發財而盲目打轉，這樣會叫你掉進糞坑裡，到頭來一無所有，連你原來有的都失去了。
「因為我們沒有帶甚麼到世界來，也不能帶甚麼去；只要有養生與遮身之物，就當以此為足。但那些想要發財的人，就陷在試誘、網羅、和許多無知有害的私慾裡，叫人沉溺在敗壞和滅亡中。因為貪財是萬惡之根，有人貪戀錢財，就受迷惑，離棄了信仰，用許多苦痛把自己刺透了。」（提摩太前書6:7-10）
For we have brought nothing into the world, because neither can we carry anything out. But having food and covering, with these we will be content. But those who intend to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge men into destruction and ruin. For the love of money is a root of all evils, because of which some, aspiring after money, have been led away from the faith and pierced themselves through with many pains.－1 Timothy 6:7-10
3. 人總是喜歡看別人手上的銅板，卻忘了自己口袋中的寶石。
「我親愛的弟兄們，請聽，神豈不是揀選了世上貧窮的人，叫他們在信上富足，並承受祂所應許給那些愛祂之人的國麼？」（雅各書2:5）
Listen, my beloved brothers: Did not God choose the poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which He promised to those who love Him?－James 2:5
4. 忘記你的需要，先去關心造物主需要什麼，這樣連你本來沒有的也要加給你了。
「因為這一切都是外邦人所急切尋求的，你們的天父原知道你們需要這一切。但你們要先尋求祂的國和祂的義，這一切就都要加給你們了。」（馬太福音6:32-33）
For all these things the Gentiles are anxiously seeking. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.－Matthew 6:32-33
5. 沒錢又怎麼樣？世界上最霸氣的回答，就是不管留給我多少錢，把我丟到地球上任何一個角落，我都能頂天立地的活下去！
「我知道怎樣處卑賤，也知道怎樣處富餘；或飽足、或飢餓、或富餘、或缺乏，在各事上，並在一切事上，我都學得祕訣。我在那加我能力者的裡面，凡事都能作。」（腓4:12-13）
I know also how to be abased, and I know how to abound; in everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to hunger, both to abound and to lack. I am able to do all things in Him who empowers me.－Philippians 4:12-13
