Ways to follow
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.
Many are doing something merely to survive. Meanwhile, God created each person on purpose for a purpose. And if each person discovers one’s purpose and follows suit, chasing fantasies will cease.
You are Abraham’s seed as a Christian. That means when it comes to blessings, it’s your birthright as God’s child. But if you’re struggling to make ends meet, the problem is not from God, what job you do or even how much you earn. The problem is you – how well vested are you in knowing who God has made you?
Learn how to demarcate every monetary resource that gets into your hands. Don’t spend everything or save everything. Invest some.
God didn’t bring you here on Earth only to survive. In other words, He didn’t bring you here just to get what you need to live. No! He called you to be a blessing unto generations. Think like that and let it permeate your thinking patterns.
Don’t give merely out of obligation to the Lord. Give from a heart of gratitude and according to what you’ve purposed in your heart because God loves a cheerful giver (see 2 Corinthians 8:7).
So many people chase after money at the expense of their relationship with God. Don’t fall for that trap, child of God. Keep growing spiritually, and God will prosper you in every area of your life.
Make up your mind to abound in the grace of giving. In fact, don’t just read. Start giving more to ministry and people in need. Remember that it is of more blessing to give than to receive.
As much as God wants each one to flow in abundance in all things (see 2 Corinthians 9:8), so much so that none will be dependent on anybody (see 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12), don’t be enslaved to materialism. Let God discipline your life, and live with wisdom. People pleasing is not the reason for your existence.
