When you are sealed, your own wealth in this world is repetite--always returning to others. When you prosper your wealth will always return to others, even when you die wealthy. You take none of it with you when you die.
Jesus taught you should guard yourself against covetous desire for wealth. You watch every day for Jesus who will return within you. You also watch your own heart. Jesus will return within your heart.
The desire for wealth can consume you. When you are looking for more wealth you are not looking for Jesus. You may think you can follow both wealth and Jesus but He says you can not do it.
You spend much of your time during your day and spend much of your life working. This work is necessary and God blesses your work. But God provides for you. You do not provide for yourself.
When you are sealed you do not say you have "made money." And when you become wealthy you do not say you are "self-made." You always thank God for His Providence. God gives you your wealth. You have not become wealthy by your own efforts.
God gives you life and more Life, including prosperity. But when you desire wealth you covet. You see what wealthier people have and you covet that. When you are sealed you see what God has and you want that.
Everything was created by God. And everything includes all abundance. So God has great abundance—the greatest abundance of anyone. And He is willing to share that with you if you watch for Him.nnn“The land of a certain rich man,” said Jesus, “produced well. And he considered within himself, saying, ‘What will I do? For I have nowhere to collect my produce.’ And he said, ‘This will I do: I will tear down my storehouses and build bigger ones.’nnn“’And I will collect there all my produce and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods stored for many years. Relax—eat, drink, and enjoy!’ But that night God spoke to him.nnn“’Thoughtless one, tonight your soul will be demanded of you; and what you prepare, for whom then is it?’ Such is the one storing up treasure for himself, and not being rich unto God.”
How can you be rich unto God so your soul is not demanded of you when you become wealthy? This is the mystery: the real mistake this man made was when he decided he was wealthy enough to retire.
Being rich unto God means you continue to work. You continue to trade so you may prosper others or at least give to them. Thus you bless others. And when you no longer trade you remain active sending the message.
You send the message of being sealed and teach others how to watch for God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Each of these three will return within you. The Father returns in your mind, the Son in your heart, and the Holy Spirit in your belly.
And eventually you realize all your wealth God has given you is repetite. It returns again and again to others—to the needy and to the deserving (as the sealed messenger is deserving.) So you consider your wealth transitory. It was given to you to give to others.
Your wealth is certainly repetite when you die. Then you will own nothing but memories of your days on earth. So you give of your abundant wealth to others during these days on earth before the days are done.

Secrets to Living the Life You've Always Wanted
It seems rather odd to refer to any of what follows as secrets. For one thing, the word “secret” implies that something is hidden and the wisdom below is anything but secret. In some form or fashion, you could find these in virtually any spiritual tradition. Second, “secret” implies that the spiritual wisdom that would lead one to the life he/she really wants is really only accessible by a few. And, the unfortunate tendency is not to regard your self as one of the select few. But, of course, you are.
