MoneyWalk 458: Decreeing then acting prospers you

This program will help you undo financial bondage.

You have heard the phrases “Name it and claim it” and “Blab it and grab it.” These phrases are usually spoken of in an irreverent way against preachers who seem to espouse that believers can declare the ultimate possession of something and shortly receive it.

Throughout much of life, many people’s experiences seem to them to indicate that resources they ultimately obtain didn’t come to them through the above process. So they ridicule these preachers and claim they are focusing people on satan’s kingdom, leading people straight to Hell, taking advantage of people’s emotions in order to steal their money, etc. I’m sure you can think of many more things you’ve heard people say about such preachers.

In some cases this belief is true. Wheat and tare (weeds that some might mistake for wheat) grow together in the world and in the church. Thus, you are going to have some who confess the name of Jesus Christ whose hearts are actually aligned with the enemy and intent on taking advantage of others. Anyone can call himself a Christian and we may not immediately know that he is not, yet that does not make the truth of God’s word null and void. The Lord let us know that when the time for harvesting His people from the earth comes, He will command the reapers to separate the wheat from the tare and cast the tare into the fire.

There is truth in “Name it and claim it” as shown by the whole counsel of God in scripture. The key to obtaining it in the name of God and the thing being as valuable as you think is determined by whether or not you moved in faith upon what God by His Word identified as being available to you and whether or not you really intend to utilize your life, gifts, time, skills, money, and resources overall to benefit the spread of the gospel message in your family, community, and the world.

Mere mortals, who are not believers, name, claim, and obtain things that in many instances have much greater earthly value than things that believers name, claim, or obtain, such as businesses, inventions, jobs, houses, cars, jewelry, etc. So, obtaining things is not really the sign that you have sought God’s will, done His will, or received His blessing.

In order for it to surely be part of a sign of God’s will and blessing it would be accompanied by a lifestyle of steps ordered by God, His Word, and Holy Spirit that show up over time in a fruitful display of actions devoted to sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and helping others share it more and more as the time of His return nears.

It is not always true that men will recognize your fruit. Many believers will, but those who don’t believe may see your words and actions as intolerant or a violation of their doctrine of separation of church and state, not scientifically proven, or nonsense. In this regard, we should not compare the value of what we obtain with that of other people or the world nor boast of it to the church or to men. Rather, we make our boast in the Lord and thank Him continually for using us and giving us much bounty that we can use to better serve Him, pursue our calling, take care of every responsibility He made us for, and serve others.

You do well to name and claim that which God has truly shown you to be your calling or the resources to fulfill it, when He shows you that it is time to declare it for His glory. You do better to put your faith in action and bring forth good works using the bulk of your resources to glorify His name as every believer in Christ is pre-ordained to do. Then, His light will truly shine upon your ways.
