We need to keep our attitude to handling money correctly. It does not matter whether we are wealthy of not, the Bible clearly teaches us in both the Old and New Testaments about how we should handle money. It is good to handle money with the Fear of the Lord and with a pure and generous heart, then we will do well. To be mean is not a Fruit of the Holy Spirit; to manipulate other people with our money is not God's Way!
