Is it just me or do you sometimes struggle with relating finances and religious principles? Didn't it say in the Bible that the love for money is the root of all evil? Does that mean that we cannot enjoy the things money can buy? It would seem like you have to choose between being good-- or being rich.
As we continued to grow and find the answers to the questions we seek, knowledge about biblical prosperity increased as well. It turns out we do not have to be sickly and hungry to please God. The truth is God wants to bless us with overwhelming abundance and prosperity.
So we ask, what then is God's will for man about money and possessions? Many scripture verses allude to biblical prosperity. Scriptures boldly state that God wants us rich (Genesis 12:1-3; Psalm 35:27; John 10:10). Look back to the story of Abraham. When God called him out of Ur, Abraham was promised that he would have great prosperity and favor-and he did. He also received his miracle, his beloved son Isaac. God knows your heart's desire and give it to you on top of all the other blessings He pours in your life.
You will always find tithing as a foundational principle in attracting wealth. Today we may call it different things but the fact remains: you give and more will be given to you. God has no need for our money and possessions. Tithing is a sign of our trust and obedience to Him. Give God 10% of your money and watch the storehouses of heaven pour out such blessings you will not have room enough for it (Malachi 10:10; Leviticus 27:30).
You cannot go wrong in investing in Gods supernatural economy. Whatever you give, expect a higher return for it (Luke 6:38; Deuteronomy 28; Matthew 6:33). View your money, your obedience, your every thought and action as a seed you are sowing. All things are accounted for. What you sow you shall reap so make sure the seeds you sow are of everlasting value.
Before God can bless you with prosperity you need to ask yourself honestly, can God trust you with it? You need to be a faithful steward even with the little you have (mark 10:17; Luke 12:48; 1 Timothy 6:17) so that when your breakthrough comes your heart is prepared. Enjoy the comfort things and material possessions can give you, but do not let it take first place in your life. It's not bad to have money, but do not make building your fortune your life. You cannot serve both God and money so serve God and make money serve you.
Finally, God empowers us to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18; 2 Corinthians 8; Philippians 4:14-18). He wants to bless us so that we ourselves can be a blessing to other. As we allow ourselves to be used by God, expect grace and favor to abound supernaturally in your life.
Abundance and prosperity should never be utilized for self gain and pride. That is not what it's for. Take pleasure in the work of your hands and the fruits of your labor; however never forget that it cannot replace relationships with God and your fellow man. True wealth is about being healthy, being generous and being happy in God. Be all that you can be and money will find its way to you.
