Solomon was one of the richest men on earth.
The Bible says Solomon earned 22 tonnes of gold annually; that's $1.22b yearly.

So how did Solomon get so rich? Did God give him the gold? Well, not exactly; let's explore how
1. Sales Taxes, Customs Duties and Assessments; Solomon got the gold from taxing his distant income-earning subsidiaries. This is passive income. 1 King 10.15

The term sacrifice is a universal concept.
Anyone that does a sacrifice gets a reward. Note Anyone.
For instance, you sacrifice eating sweets or cholesterol-filled tasty fries to gain a healthy lifestyle

The law of sacrifice is also progressive, the more you sacrifice, the more you get.
Messi sacrificed his youthful years kicking a football around, he got better, now he is a world champion.
Same with doctors, they sacrifice partying to read, then get a "Dr." and earn big bucks

1. Loving God shouldn't stop you from investing in your family.
The "pastor" died with a lot of debt, yes he had assets but he overleveraged. Where is the glory in his children becoming slaves?
So Buy Life Insurance once you have dependents. Mandatory
