Carlos Slim Helú is a man from Mexico who, in 2024, is recognized as the 19th richest person in the world. At the age of 84, he has a net worth of $82 billion. People who know him describe him as someone who values honesty in his wealth and leads a simple, carefree life. He is known for sharing food with the poor in Mexico City and generously donating to various organizations that help those in need.
Brother, if you are given a piece of Helu’s property, think of all the things you could do with it! As Helu does, can you remember to share your wealth with the poor? As a Christian, how much do you think you would contribute to support God’s ministry?
“Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.
1 Timothy 6:17-19.
