Like so many people in the world I have
tried a number of ways of making "big" money. There are plenty of
money making formulas out there, some good and some not so
good. God knows more than a little about financial prosperity and
He desires that Christians prosper. However, He wants them to
prosper His way.
He desires that instead of looking to formulas we as Christians
should look to Him and not to a formula. In other words He
wants us to shift our strong driving allegiance from money
making pursuits to a deep relationship with Him. Are you seeking to
know Him intimately? He says in Matthew 6:33, "But seek ye first
the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you."
The Lord gave me a revelation of this scripture and showed
me if I would seek Him and put His agenda first place in my
life then prosperity would be manifested to me.
In Hebrews 11:6b He states, "He is a rewarder of them that
diligently seek him."
"Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires
of thine heart" (Psalm 37:4 KJV).
Remember what is stated in Matthew 6:24 of the Living Bible,
"You cannot serve two masters: God and money. For you
will hate one and love the other, or else the other way
around."
Seek and love God with all your heart and get involved with
His program. He has just the formula for your success:
a deep relationship with Jesus Christ which will unfold the glorious
destiny He has for your life. And that destiny does include
financial prosperity.
But what if you refuse to do the will of God? Here is your
answer: "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth
the will of my Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 7:21 KJV).
Your friend,
