When God showers abundance
Kishore Shintre
#newdaynewchapter is a Blog narrative started on March 1, 2021 co-founded by Kishore Shintre & Sonia Bedi, to write a new chapter everyday for making "Life" and not just making a "living"
God is wise, so “blowing my mind with an overflow of blessing and making me rich” would not be in line with His wisdom. But He has made me rich as a person - rich in common sense, wisdom and understanding. That is priceless. Also, we all know what riches can only do. It drives consumption through the roof and strain the environment. Rich people by their lifestyle waste a lot of food, waste a lot of manpower, drain the environment at a rate that is several orders higher than the average person by their buying power and rapid disposal.
Of course, you could argue that I am supposed to share what is the first thing I would do. As this is hypothetical, I will be generous and give them all away. What happens when I give them away? Say, I give a million bucks each to a million needy people. Overnight the drain on the environment will be palpable as these people swarm the marketplace buying up things. Will these people be happy? To some extent, yes. For the moment they are free from the anxiety of bill payment.
But as is the nature of human, once the euphoria of sudden freedom from anxiety evaporates, they will hanker for more. Some will be cheated, some will be robbed. Some will quit working, and some will drink themselves silly. From this group, will we see something really positive developing in anyone’s life?
When God really blesses us and showers his abundance, I will start a feeding program for the people in my community who are hungry. If the riches are enough I will start a job creating program to give people back their basic human dignity. A few years back God blessed me with a good income, thus I did just that: I bought food, every month for a squatter camp and made sure every person got food every day. Then I bought machinery and started a toilet paper factory, employing people from this squatter camp. It went well but due to my health issues I started generating less income in my business so I had to stop subsidizing this plant.

I always thank God and honour him by praying how this extra money can be best used in God's service. I would want his wisdom on who and what charities to support.1st fruit 10% to my community and 50% to my foundation of course perhaps 15% to NGOs that encourage poor to work in learning to help each other to run successful businesses, much like opportunities coming up for helping generate employment. The remaining 25% would be invested for the welfare of my family trust to be secure in handling our future setting aside funds for random act of kindness with God getting the credit.
The idea is to help them learn life skills that help these poor disenfranchise people how. To work as board members of each other. These business will be held accountable to give repay loans and make new loans to new business that keep this going forward. This would be to encourage owners to help support future giving. My long time thought on this would like to set up a Trust for Foundation that has the purposes to give the money away for year to come. My Goal is to teach my children and many others how to give away God's funds.
I will help those staying in miserable conditions on the street as long as they don’t spend it on alcohol or drugs. Put some money aside for my farming sector where I plan to grow vegetables and fruits thereby generating employment for people living nearby. Then after the venture starts working properly again I will travel and visit every good city and town I can meet this lifetime help them with money and basically turn barren lands into gardens and groves of fruits this will help improving greenery around the area and make it environment friendlier. Cheers!
