Be Merciful
“Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it” 1Pet.3:9.
God wants us to share His mercy with others. And it is because He himself has showed us that that is the way. I have a friend that is saved today; he used to be a Muslim. He has been saved for over ten years and he is doing very well in God. My friend talked to his brother about Jesus and his brother said to him, ‘I have a problem with this your Jesus and this is why I struggle to accept Read the rest of this entry
Creating Margin
‘In the house of the wise are stores of choice food and oil, but a foolish man devours all he has’ Prov. 21:20.
You give more by creating margin and the way to create margin is to earn more and spend less. We gave an illustration using the scale some days ago. Using that same illustration, imagine on scale one to ten, your earning and spending is at level five. Then you attend a power packed, heaven-rending service like the God Will Do It Again service and God opens the door and you breakthrough. You move from level five earning to Read the rest of this entry
Checks And Balances III
‘Better to have little, with fear for the Lord, than to have great treasures and inner turmoil’ Prov.15:16.
People who love and trust money have money in their hands but they don’t have peace in their hearts. If any of what we are studying in this season applies to you, then you have been deceived and you need to be delivered from that deception today. God is your source and He will provide for your needs. How do you know you don’t have peace? You know you don’t have peace when you consistently say, “If only I had Read the rest of this entry
Checks And Balances II
‘When you have eaten your fill, be sure to praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you’ Deut.8:10
Be content with your spouse. He or she is your portion. Contentment will even help your intimacy because your spouse will be comfortable around you and not self-conscious. Your spouse will confidently know that he or she is accepted. But when all you can see is that he or she is getting fat then something is wrong. I am not saying we should not challenge ourselves to be healthy or even better. I am just saying be Read the rest of this entry
Checks And Balances I
‘Those who love money will never have enough. How meaningless to think that wealth brings true happiness!’ Ecc.5:10.
The Almighty will bless you mightily and expand your coast greatly in Jesus Name. Believe me He will. Yet as the Lord begins to bless you, it is important that you put checks and balances in place so that you do not fall into the trap of loving, trusting, and chasing money. The question now is how does one know when he or she has begun to trust, love, and pursue money? For some of us we already know, so the next Read the rest of this entry
Be Rich Towards God
‘Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be’ Matt.6:21
Research shows that Jesus spoke more about money than He spoke about heaven. Have you ever wondered why Jesus would speak more about money than He spoke about heaven? It is not because money is more important than heaven. The reason Jesus did this is revealed in this Scripture, ‘“No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money’ Matt.6:24. Jesus did not say you cannot serve God and Read the rest of this entry
Deceitfulness Of Riches
‘You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, so that by His poverty He could make you rich’ 2Cor.8:9
Our focus is not on how to get rich because by the grace of God Jesus has paid the price. You are rich! The focus is on how to Be rich. If you don’t learn how to FEEL rich you will never learn how to ACT rich so you continue to struggle to GET rich…and you will never realize that you already ARE rich and you never learn how to BE rich. If you don’t learn how to feel rich, how to be grateful for what God has Read the rest of this entry
Guard Against IV
‘So I advise you to buy gold from me—gold that has been purified by fire. Then you will be rich. Also buy white garments from me so you will not be shamed by your nakedness, and ointment for your eyes so you will be able to see.’ Rev.3:18.
The third challenge of being rich is you have a greater responsibility. ‘Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for our enjoyment. Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life’ 1Tim.6:17-19. This portion of Scripture lists the things that the people that are rich Read the rest of this entry
Guard Against III
‘Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others.’ 1Tim.6:18.
Every terrain comes with its own challenges and being rich is not left out. Even as the Lord continues to increase us, you and I must guard against being distracted from our true priorities. Riches give us the power to create options and many times those options are outside of God’s will. A typical example would be a man who tells his wife that even though he loves her, he needs her to know that he has options. And Read the rest of this entry
Guard Against II
‘Though the Lord is great, He cares for the humble, but He keeps his distance from the proud’ Ps.138:6
Guard against anything that attempts to steal your adoration of Jesus. You see people who never had issues with tithing. And as they remained committed, God began to bless them and in a way God opened doors that even they would never have imagined. Then they began to delay in their commitment. Some would even demand that you show them where tithe is in Old Testament or New Testament. I know you Read the rest of this entry
