Bible Verse of The Day – 10-14-23

Deuteronomy 8:18 (NKJV) 18 “And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

In the verse above, Moses is informing Israel that it is God who gives to them the ability to get wealth.

As His children, we should humbly acknowledge that this power is a God-given ability.

Hopefully we humbly acknowledge where our wealth comes from and are grateful to God for it.

Now, if it is God that gives us this ability to gain wealth, our next question is going to make us think.

Are we lacking in this area? Have we taken the wealth that He has already given to us and spent it foolishly?

God shows us what to do with our finances to make sure we have food in our house.

We must worship Him with our first fruit by giving Him a tenth of it, sowing it into the place that feeds us spiritually.

Are we taking this very important step? If not, then that may be why we are always struggling financially.

Malachi 3:10 (NKJV) 10 Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this,” Says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing.

God will pour out such blessings as we bring our tithes into the storehouse, worshipping Him and thanking Him for power or the God-given ability to get wealth.

He will also protect us and keep our fruit safe as we obey Him in this area, instead of being greedy with the finances that He provides.

Malachi 3:11 (NKJV) 11 “And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field,” Says the Lord of hosts…

Who is he that tries to destroy our fruit? The enemy!

Let’s cut him off at the knees today, preventing him from stealing our finances, and follow what God has taught us, by bringing all our tithes into the storehouse. Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 2-18-19

1 Timothy 6:9 (NKJV) 9 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.

Many people desire to be rich… financially blessed. It’s no secret that having an abundance of money makes many aspects of our lives here on earth easier.

But being wealthy also has its down sides. You might ask “how so?”. Wouldn’t having lots of money make everything easier?”

On the surface, it would seem like being wealthy would make a person’s life easier and more pleasant in every aspect, right? Well, yes, it would seem that way. But it’s not always true. Let’s take a look.

First, let’s be sure that we understand that being rich is not a sin. The Bible never, ever states that. But it does teach us that being wealthy comes with a lot of responsibilities.

If we look closely at the verse above, we need to be sure to understand what it really means, not just what we see on the surface.

People whose trust is in God alone usually won’t have as strong a desire to be wealthy as those who are less ethical. Again, it is not a sin to be rich, or to want to be rich. But our desire to know and love God must be above all other desires, including the desire to be wealthy.

If we are corrupt in our ethics, being rich will only cause us to become further corrupt and unethical. And many who start off believing that they are ethically sound, and who seem quite humble, will eventually succumb to the temptations that come with wealth, and their humility will falter if they are not very, very careful.

In the long run, we need to make sure our desires are in their proper order, with God being at the very top, 24/7, 365 days per year. Then and only then can we ever hope to be able to handle financial blessings properly and in a way that doesn’t threaten our walk with God and our eternal destiny.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-14-17

Matthew 7:7 (NKJV) 7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

Jesus told us that if we ask, we will receive. This is a truth to live by. God is a good Father who gives us what we need in our lives here on earth.

Many times, we hear this quoted by people claiming that we can and should use this principle to gain abundant amounts of material wealth and prosperity.

That is not the truth. That is a perversion of scripture that has taken a simple verse and twisted it to promote a dangerous doctrine. And people with itching ears have flocked to it, with their hopes and hearts set on getting rich. God is treated as a magic piggy bank that can be shaken and manipulated until money falls out.

Based on that teaching, wealth comes first. And, sadly, God is placed somewhere below first place. He is a means to an end. A Genie in a lamp, to be rubbed and used to fulfill wishes on demand.

But God always needs to come first. Our number 1 priority should be to grow closer to Him and please Him. God has told us that if we do that, He will honor our commitment and bless us. But the blessings should never be the motivating factor.

Clearly, God has no problem with us becoming wealthy. But becoming wealthy requires hard work, dedication and perseverance, not just speaking it into existence or hoping that God will drop it out of the sky because we ask Him over and over again.

So, let us give to God. Let us give with a pure heart and no motives. And when we’re in need, we can ask of Him without shame and with expectancy that He will give to us also.

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-20-15

Proverbs 14:23 (NKJV) 23 In all labor there is profit, but idle chatter leads only to poverty.

During the last 20-30 years, a sense of entitlement has pervaded many societies. People want something for nothing. They don’t want to work for it. They just want it handed to them… dropped into their laps.

Sadly, this has crept into the body of Christ, too. We want God to bless us, just because.

We don’t expect to have to work for anything. We just want someone to lay hands on us, pray for God’s blessings over our lives, and then we sit and wait for it to magically appear.

Many of us have become lazy while we wait. We’ve given up on being diligent with our hands. We disdain labor and continue to sit idle.

And, all the while, we fall deeper and deeper into debt and poverty.

Proverbs 20:13 (NKJV) 13 Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty; Open your eyes, and you will be satisfied with bread.

The prosperity gospel can be partially to blame for this. It has duped millions and millions of people into believing the lie that God wants us all to be millionaires, without having to do a single thing for it.

But we are partially at fault, too. Sitting back and letting God bless us sounds really good to the flesh!

Proverbs 23:21 (NKJV) 21 For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty, and drowsiness will clothe a man with rags.

But God’s word is very clear about this. If we want to eat, be clothed and prosper, we need to work for it!

Then, God will bless the fruits of our labors and prosper us!
