¹⁵ I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! ¹⁶ So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. ¹⁷ You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. ¹⁸ I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

   ¹⁹ Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. ²⁰ Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

   ²¹ To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. ²² Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

How do you purchase gold from God when you are spiritually broke?

Same in the natural, we need to file for bankruptcy; in times of desperation and we know we have been defeated in life, financially.

Spiritually, we must repent of our lukewarmness; Admit that we are spiritually bankrupt; Ask God to provide for what we’ve lacked; Start doing things His way and start living godly lives..

I know that’s the only way, I can afford gold and gain wealth/value in His economy; and that’s what I’ll be doing.
