GOD AND MONEY[1]

 Does God give us stupendous money? The answer is no. Let us look at this verse:Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Now you can convert such blessings to wealth, for there is no currency in heaven. What comes out from heaven, from the window of heaven, are blessings. These blessing are not visible, they are not tangible.Their presence is overwhelming and even the blind can see it. When you have any of God’s blessings, the evidence is conspicuous for friends and foe to see. Some blessings can become a cash-cow. Let us look at a good case from the book of Genesis; How such blessing can indeed make you rich . Genesis 26:2-4, And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of: Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; Now, the blessing only requires you to do what others are doing to activate it. It does not depend on your expertise or on your business acumen, neither does it depend on how hardworking you are. Genesis 26:13, And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: Genesis 26:16, And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we. Reader, it is a wonderment when a mere foreigner becomes the richest in the land? It is not possible excerpt there is another power not seen at play here. Here, that power that made Isaac to become the richest in a foreign land, is the blessing of God. They kindly ask him to leave thier land out of envy thinking,if they should take over the same lands where he was doing so well then they too will have access to that wealth, not knowing the wealth was not in the land but in a man! when that blessing is inside of you, water can come out of the desert for your sake if only you dig, but a little .[ Note when God gives you something, you must still have to work to get it or sometimes, not. The bible says faith without work is dead. The land God gave them still requires fighting the enemy to possess the land. Even Joshua had to employ a military strategy of spying out the land! and yet on another instance God saind in the book of 2 Chronicles 20:17, Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.Psalms 46:10, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. You must commune with the spirit within you and know what God is saying] So Isaac left that land.Genesis 26:17-19, And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there. And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. And Isaac’s servants digged in the valley and found there a well of springing water.Genesis 26:20-22 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac’s herdmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him. And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land. God’s hand on your does not mean there will not be challenges, but be rest assured HE will give you the victory and you will find rest in him from all the battles. When God bestow on you a blessing, it rests on your inside, internally and you become a career of that blessing wherever you go.

MARANATHA!
