Dear one, calm down when it comes to service. God will always reward you for everything you do in ministry and service in the secular workplace. That reward of God will always be greater than what any man will ever give you.
Did you know that almost everybody on this Earth has debts to pay for? Maybe you are shocked to hear this, but that’s what the Bible says. In Romans 13:7, we are told to give to everyone what we owe them. However, the preceding words in the scripture didn’t state that “money” is the only thing to think about regarding debt! There is more to that!
The goal is not to show others that “Yeah, you are rich.” Instead, the goal is to see every child of God soar higher in the fulfilment of divine purpose so that Christ will fill the whole universe. That cannot be done entirely if some believers are lagging behind.
God is a Spirit (see John 4:24), meaning He doesn’t give material possessions when He blesses. No! He gives you that dimension of the Holy Spirit’s power that makes resources gravitate towards your direction when you step out. So, if you lack something in life, your problem may not be money but a lack of divine revelation.
Jesus said, as a believer, you can reap what you have not worked for, provided He sent you (see John 4:38). That means every person sent from God can reap from several areas of legitimate provision by the supernatural works of God. That is why a worldly person cannot understand anyone whom God has blessed with wealth.
Because your treasure and your heart will always be in the same direction, it is essential to guard your heart against all forms of filth because when filth gets into it, your finances will become imbalanced. Why? Because your love for the Lord will wax cold (see Matthew 24:12). Guard your heart with all diligence because all the issues of life springs from it (see Proverbs 4:23).
Remain loyal to God first and to your ministry head second. Repent for any wrong thing you have done, lest you let remorse make you make bad life decisions that can cost your generation, like Judas hanging Himself.
Dear businessman, building your business is costly. It’ll demand so much of your time and brainwork to develop structures and systems. So it’s not just about money. Dear minister, reaching the world doesn’t only depend on how powerful God’s message given to you is. You need the finance, human resources and equipment to make it presentable across diverse platforms.
According to Jesus in Matthew 6:1, anyone who practices his righteousness (interpreted as benevolence) before others with the aim of attracting public applause will have no reward from the Father in heaven. Think about that! If you fail to give God’s way, you lose resources because God won’t reward you for your deed. Mercy!
God is the creator of the Earth. So, everything in it belongs to Him, whether man likes it or not. Therefore, no matter how rich you are or will ever become, you are a steward of those possessions, not the owner.
Work is a vital aspect of our existence today, shaping and moulding the world, as we all can attest to. Regrettably, many have perceived work as burdensome and unfulfilling, driven by financial gain rather than their purpose. In this article, I want to talk about how individuals, particularly believers, can embrace the value and essentialities of work and approach it with all diligence and enthusiasm.
Those who preach the gospel should live off the gospel. It is Biblical for every preacher to be paid by the church, although some don’t take it. Do you know why? Because some sacrifice their lives just to push the gospel forward. However, it is not wrong if a preacher earns a substantial salary from the church.
