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.

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.
You may not always get compensated as much as you desire. But as far as that work is helping you become productive, do it with all your heart. With time, God will increase you through the experience you have and make things better for you.
God’s Word isn’t denying the fact that people won’t get wealth in dishonest ways. As for the money, they’ll get it (see Proverbs 13:11). But a judgement has been passed on it from heaven. And that is, such wealth will be diminished. Translated word “diminished” means to become small. Therefore, anyone who gains wealth through dishonest means will be rich in monetary terms, but his riches will be short-lived.
Doing well in finances makes one confident and also helps us to secure an inheritance for generations (see Proverbs 13:22). In this article, we’re going to learn three things Solomon reveals about wealth in the book of Proverbs. Are you ready? Let’s dive in!
Whether the people God has given you obey the Word you preach or not, just keep preaching. Their lives will be cleansed by the same Word. Sow into the kingdom without looking at what men say. The Lord is faithful to His Word.
