How much land do you own?
How much land would you like to own?
How much more would you be worth if you owned some or more land?

Land, land, land.
We are told that land is the most important thing that exists;
That man is as important as the land he owns.
Big landowner, big man; litle landowner little man; no landowner, no man at all.
Land or its equivalence in money or things that occupy it is not just real estate, it is the real value that trumps all else, including man and God.
The land syndrome obsesses people, including many who do not own but crave to own land.
Essentially, man is not a physical, mental or emotional being. He is a soul being. When the Creator "breathed into his nostrils he became a living soul." Not a land soul or physical soul. There is more in the man than in the land. Man is nature's greatest miracle. "The Kingdom of God is within you," asserted Jesus.
He also asked, "What does it profit a man should he gain the whole world (or much land) and lose his soul? The answer is so obvious that the questioner refused to answer it. But each person would do well to answer it for himself.
"Greater is he that is within you, than He that is in the world."
So the next time you hear all that talk about land and how important it is for a person to own, remember, "There is more in the man than in the land." Man, not land, the Creator made a little lower than the angels. "How much land can a man take with him when he exit the mortal realm to join the innumerable caravan that will take him to that mysterious realm where he will take his chamber in the silent halls of death? How much land will he occupy in death? Who is the owner of the earth?
