Let me tell you a secret"I used to find it extremely difficult, unpleasant even, when people talk about money and God in the same breath. I mean, didnt one scripture verse command, Thou shall not serve both God and money? If this were the case, will the successful entrepreneur making a living to provide his family a good life be condemned? Are either needy and noble, or wealthy and lost?
As man continued to grow in knowledge, information regarding biblical prosperity got clearer and clearer. Fortunately, man doesn't have to starve for the salvation of his soul. In fact, God says He desires to bless you with more than enough-with overflowing abundance and prosperity.
So where do we find what God says about money and possessions? The scriptures clearly outline several principles on biblical prosperity that will help us find out. First of all, there is no doubting that God wants to see us prosperous (Genesis 12:1-3; Psalm 35:27; John 10:10). Once upon a time, God called a man named Abraham to follow Him, promising to bless him abundantly. And God did. More than that, God gave Abraham a miracle in his old age-- a beloved son. Can you see this? God will not only cause you to succeed in life, He is more than willing to give you your most cherished desire as well.
Study the scriptures for financial matters and you will find tithing to be a pivotal part in God's plan of prosperity for man(Leviticus 27:30; Malachi 10:10). This is not about paying God to get you your blessings. God doesn't need your Dollars, heaven only transacts with Faith. When you tithe you show God that you are not only obedient, you trust His providence for you. Your faith opens a door for God to enter your life bringing blessings beyond your wildest dreams.
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.
Being rich comes with great responsibility. You have to be a faithful steward to what God has entrusted you with (Mark 10:17; Luke 12:48; 1 Timothy 6:17). Having things are great. You should enjoy them but never make the mistake of loving possessions too much or putting your faith in them. Money should serve you not the other way around. It's not an unholy thing to have, but the single-minded pursuit of it causes many to sin. When prosperity comes, be sure that your heart and priorities are protected.
And finally, God Himself gives us the power to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18; 2 Corinthians 8; Philippians 4:14-18) for the intent that we too can be a blessing to others. You will enjoy success in your life while allowing yourself to be a conduit of God's work for others. There is no worthier cause than this.
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.
