Let me tell you a secret"I used to find it extremely difficult, unpleasant even, when people talk about money and God in the same breath. I mean, didnt one scripture verse command, Thou shall not serve both God and money? If this were the case, will the successful entrepreneur making a living to provide his family a good life be condemned? Are either needy and noble, or wealthy and lost?
As man continued to grow in knowledge, information regarding biblical prosperity got clearer and clearer. Fortunately, man doesn't have to starve for the salvation of his soul. In fact, God says He desires to bless you with more than enough-with overflowing abundance and prosperity.
So we ask, what then is God's will for man about money and possessions? Many scripture verses allude to biblical prosperity. Scriptures boldly state that God wants us rich (Genesis 12:1-3; Psalm 35:27; John 10:10). Look back to the story of Abraham. When God called him out of Ur, Abraham was promised that he would have great prosperity and favor-and he did. He also received his miracle, his beloved son Isaac. God knows your heart's desire and give it to you on top of all the other blessings He pours in your life.
You will always find tithing as a foundational principle in attracting wealth. Today we may call it different things but the fact remains: you give and more will be given to you. God has no need for our money and possessions. Tithing is a sign of our trust and obedience to Him. Give God 10% of your money and watch the storehouses of heaven pour out such blessings you will not have room enough for it (Malachi 10:10; Leviticus 27:30).
You cannot go wrong in investing in Gods supernatural economy. Whatever you give, expect a higher return for it (Luke 6:38; Deuteronomy 28; Matthew 6:33). View your money, your obedience, your every thought and action as a seed you are sowing. All things are accounted for. What you sow you shall reap so make sure the seeds you sow are of everlasting value.
Being rich comes with great responsibility. You have to be a faithful steward to what God has entrusted you with (Mark 10:17; Luke 12:48; 1 Timothy 6:17). Having things are great. You should enjoy them but never make the mistake of loving possessions too much or putting your faith in them. Money should serve you not the other way around. It's not an unholy thing to have, but the single-minded pursuit of it causes many to sin. When prosperity comes, be sure that your heart and priorities are protected.
Finally, God gives us the power to produce riches (Deuteronomy 8:18; 2 Corinthians 8; Philippians 4:14-18). God desires to bless you that you may have the opportunity to bless those around you too. There is grace and peace that fills you in serving a friend.
Abundance and prosperity should never be utilized for self gain and pride. That is not what it's for. Take pleasure in the work of your hands and the fruits of your labor; however never forget that it cannot replace relationships with God and your fellow man. True wealth is about being healthy, being generous and being happy in God. Be all that you can be and money will find its way to you.
