Proverbs 22:4 (KJV) By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches, and honour, and life.
Will you pass the humility and the fear of the Lord tests? If YES then be rest assured that riches, honour and life, abundant life that is are inevitably your portion. If NO, now that you know the consequences of not passing it, that is no riches, honour and life, you can begin right now to make amends by asking God for grace to be humble and to fear him. Fear in this context is not to be subject to bondage or be terrorized by God, it means to obey him and follow his dictates.
Now let's see how humility and the fear of the Lord relate to getting riches, honour and life...
James 4:6 (KJV) But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Humility is the platform for contacting grace. What then does grace do?

2 Corinthians 9:8 (KJV) And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
Sufficiency in all things goes even beyond riches. Abounding unto good works naturally brings honour.
No wonder the scriptures admonish us that....Proverbs 23:4 (KJV) Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
Instead, from the foregoing, labour to have humility and the fear of the Lord. This will result in true riches.
Do have a God-full day
