Where Do You Store Your Treasures?
Where do you store your treasures? In heaven (the Spirit realm) or on earth? Choose the former because that is the solid foundation upon which you can get the latter without pressures from the world.
The Risks Involved in Being Rich
While God may bless His children with riches, it is crucial to view wealth as a tool to serve others and advance His Kingdom rather than a means of self-gratification. By maintaining a heart rooted in humility, generosity, and unwavering devotion to God, you, as a Christian, can navigate the challenges of wealth while staying true to your faith and purpose.
Serve Wholeheartedly as If You Were Serving the Lord
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.
Give to Everyone What You Owe Them
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!
Share with the Lord’s People Who Are in Need
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’s Divine Power Has Given to You Everything for Life and Godliness
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.
You Can Reap What You Have Not Worked for
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.
Your Treasure and Your Heart Will Always be in the Same Direction
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).
Betrayal from Subordinates – A Message for Lovers of Money in Ministry
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.
Estimate the Cost Before Starting to Build
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.
Do Not Practice Benevolence to Please People
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!
Everything in the Earth Belongs to God
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.
