Principle Of Honor I
‘Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.’ Prov.3:9-10 [KJV]
Another area in which you sow is the first-fruit. When it comes to first-fruit, I have been in church long enough to hear different theories about first-fruit. I have sought personally God myself, about first-fruit. I have come to this conclusion- first-fruit is not by force. It is not like tithe that if you don’t pay God says the devourer is coming. First-fruit is a principle of honor. ‘Honour the Lord with thy Read the rest of this entry
In The Seed
‘As the host of heaven cannot be numbered: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant…’ Jer.33:22 [KJV]
The fifth way to relate with money is Multiply Money. God wants us to multiply money. There are two main strategies for multiplying money that we can pull from the strategies of saving. We save for two main reasons. Not for rainy day or to beat the inflation rate but for investments and for sowing. Saving and sowing are two ways of multiplying money. You multiply money by physically investing the Read the rest of this entry
Consider Your Ways!
‘…and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes. Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Consider your ways.’ Hag.1:6-7.
The fourth way you can relate with money is Lose Money. I am praying that you will not lose money in Jesus Name. I am praying for everyone that has lost money, God will restore you in Jesus Name. Losing money can be terrible and for some people it has become a perpetual trend in their lives. They can see what God has blessed them with record wise but they cannot see it tangibly. It is as though Read the rest of this entry
Justify Pleasure
‘Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, And your princes feast at the proper time – For strength and not drunkenness!’ Ecc.10:17 [NKJV].
The key thing is that you really don’t need many things. Think about it. How much money does a man really need? ‘Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, And your princes feast at the proper time – For strength and not drunkenness!’ Blessed are the land, the home, the family, and the marriage where your kings and queens, if you will, eat for strength and not for drunkenness. You Read the rest of this entry
Money Money!
‘Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that giveth willingly with his heart ye shall take my offering’ Ex.25:2 [KJV]
The second reason why we save money is so that when God calls for a seed we will have something to sow. Typical example is the Jews. When they were leaving Egypt, God blessed them with gold and all the jewelries of the Egyptians. God expected that they retain the wealth. But instead they built a golden calf with it. When Moses saw what had happened, in anger, he melted the calf, mixed it in Read the rest of this entry
Save Money
‘A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches’ Prov.11:16 [KJV].
The second way to relate with money is Save Money. God wants us to save money. God expects you and I to retain wealth. There is a Scottish proverb that says “a fool may earn money but it takes a wise man to keep it”. The Bible says, ‘A gracious woman retaineth honour: and strong men retain riches’. Strong men retain riches; a weak man spends all he has. No matter how much he makes, a weak man Read the rest of this entry
No Excuses
‘The lazy person claims, “There’s a lion out there! If I go outside, I might be killed!”’ Prov.22:13.
One characteristic lazy people have in common is excuses. The lazy person always comes up with genuine and nicely packaged excuses. Think about it, someone says there’s a lion in the street and he doesn’t want to go out. If you advise the person to go out, won’t you look like a bad person? That’s the problem with the lazy man. He pitches his excuse so that when you advise otherwise, you look like a bad person.
Make Money
‘Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave’ Prov.12:24.
God doesn’t want us to chase money. Please don’t chase money. God says ‘if you obey Me, these things [money] will purse you and over take you’. Money will be the one chasing you. Over the next few days we will be dealing with the five ways to relate with money. The first way to relate with money is Make Money. God wants us to make money. ‘Go sell the oil’ – go make money. Elisha was saying to the widow, go and make some money, go and sell the oil.
I See A Gift
‘Train up a child in the way he should go [and in keeping with his individual gift or bent], and when he is old he will not depart from it’ Prov.22:6 [AMP].
As a parent, whether spiritual or biological, it is important to be discerning. For some people, the enemy is trying to push their gifting in directions that do not glorify God. This is where you come in as a parent; nurture your child back into the way of the Lord. There was a lady I used to disciple. This lady could lie. She could tell you that it’s dark outside at noon even though you can see its bright outside. And she would shed hearty tears and you will be forced to reconsider that maybe it is Read the rest of this entry
Individual Gifting
‘Train up a child in the way he should go [and in keeping with his individual gift or bent], and when he is old he will not depart from it’ Prov.22:6 [AMP].
I am praying that God will bless you tremendously in the Mighty Name of Jesus. I have learnt that money is controlled by two sets of people. The people that bring value to people and the people that steal from people. If you are born again, you do not belong to the second category. Money starts from value. There are so many things that are of value that you can do but you cannot do everything that is of value. You have to do something that is valuable that you are good at. Beyond that, Read the rest of this entry
