Calculate it and think!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You need to embrace the truth of the Word of God as is. God says Jesus became poor so that you through His poverty can become rich. To become rich in God, you have to come through the poverty of Jesus. What <!--more-->does that mean? We are not focusing on how to get rich but I will say this. Coming through the poverty of Jesus means you have to submit to Jesus. Jesus puts it this way, <em>seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you<\/em>. It means seek first the Kingdom and the righteousness.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The opening question in today\u2019s devotional is a test. God is testing you. <em><sup>\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cIf you are faithful in <strong>little things<\/strong>, you will be faithful in <strong>large ones<\/strong>. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won\u2019t be honest with greater responsibilities. And if you are untrustworthy about <strong>worldly wealth<\/strong>, who will trust you with the <strong>true riches of heaven?<\/strong><\/em> <a title=\"REad the Bible\" href=\"https:\/\/bible.com\/116\/luk.16.10-11.nlt\" target=\"_blank\">Luke 16:10-11<\/a>. Some people are even dishonest with God. God is testing you and how you respond is critical. A case in point we explained why 10% because ten is the number for testing. Some people don\u2019t have a problem tithing; they earn fifty thousand &#8211; they tithe. God increases them, it becomes five hundred thousand &#8211; they tithe. God increase them, it becomes five million &#8211; they tithe. God increases them, it becomes fifty million they hesitate and begin to probe the church\u2019s\u2019 use of tithe. It is a test. God wants to know your capacity \u2013 how much can you hold [retain]? Heaven provides say fifty million &#8211; you don\u2019t tithe. They bring it down. Then ten million &#8211; you don\u2019t tithe, they bring it down. Five million &#8211; you tithe, they peg it and keep you there. It is a test. Please read <a title=\"Read the Bible\" href=\"https:\/\/bible.com\/116\/luk.12.16-19.nlt\" target=\"_blank\">Luke 12:16-19<\/a>. \u2018<em>He said to himself, \u2018What should I do?

Whenever you find yourself asking the question <em>what shall I do<\/em> be sure that heaven is saying \u201clets see what he or she will do\u201d. Every time you get an increase or a break through and you are wondering what to do with all the money. Be sure that heaven is also wondering what you would do?
