Many rich old people will make a will before they die in order to bequeath their properties or money to the ones they love, namely their own children or grandchildren. Sometimes eventhough the will has been attested by witnesses, there will be disputes still among unsatisfied inheritors. That makes one think that the engraved words RIP on the tombstone are totally meaningless. How do you expect the deceased to rest in peace when a 'war' has started over the inheritance left behind after his/her death?
Many Christians are seen going to courts over such family disputes. They are so much in the world that they are forgetting God's laws. They are hurting one another over something so temporal. It is so sad to see brothers and sisters hurting each other over something they cannot bring together with them when they die. They are hurting God.
There was a case of a man who had severed family ties with his siblings over some inheritance. It does not need to wait for Judgement Day for him to get the taste of God's wrath. About a year after he won his court case and inherited a huge sum of money, he was diagnosed with liver cancer and had hardly a year to live. Money has no meaning to a dying man.
Better is the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than he that is perverse in his ways, though he be rich. Proverbs 28:6
