The world says don’t love your enemy because when they get you, they’ll harm you. But Jesus says love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.
A person who is not intentional about giving may give only in times or situations where they are asked to give. When this happens, it is hard to do so privately. However, where a person has a system in place for giving, they are able to control the events of publicity that may occur from giving spontaneously.
Whenever you have the opportunity, contribute to a larger divine vision monetarily. Your seed will go ahead to impact others, and you’ll additionally get a heavenly reward for your generosity.
If you’re intimate with the Lord but don’t have much wealth, your life is better before Him than many wicked but rich people. Do you know why? Because every wicked but rich person usually earns money in dishonest ways, and such wealth will diminish with time (see Proverbs 10:2).
God doesn’t bless thieves. If you borrow someone’s thing and don’t send it back, you’re wicked (see Psalm 37:21). Stop destroying relationships with people with this evil behaviour.
In Psalm 49:16, the Psalmist cautions that you should not be overawed when others grow rich. In other words, don’t let it become jawbreaking news when you see someone you know become wealthy. But why? Because of you don’t know how he got that wealth, whether legitimately or illegitimately and that person won’t carry over that wealth to the grave.
Many people want to be rich, but few are willing to pay the high price of learning about finances and business. Friend, things don’t work like that.
Every person has been given something by God and no matter how little, He expects you to exercise wisdom when using it.
God is ever ready to give us the wealth that endures and is better than the unrighteous mammon if we have faith in him that he is able to provide it, and we will accompany it by the works of faithfully handling what we have now.
God has created work from the book Genesis when He set man over the entire universe to till and subdue it. You are not only to work for food and earthly satisfaction but live a life of purpose and fulfilment. God has called you to impact generations. Live as such!!
There are better ways of becoming wealthy without needing to wear yourself out. Go to God in prayer and let Him show you what to do with your money for Him to bless it.
It’s God’s desire for you to prosper, so much so that you’ll lend to others and not borrow (see Deuteronomy 28:12). Stop overspending money you don’t earn, else you’ll keep borrowing from people to buy things you can’t afford, but you want.
