Don’t be deceived; whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap! A wealth-by-any-means attitude is a sign of moral decay that allows satan to ensnare you in his destructive plan. You may outwardly appear wealthy and successful in human society, but you will be judged bankrupt by God and unsuccessful in endeavors that really matter in eternity. If not repented of before you die, ungodly pursuits and sowing money into them will reap eternal damnation.
Money isn't evil nor is the possession of great wealth; however some people without godly moral values use money to encourage, support, start, and advance ungodly activities that negatively affect the lives of other people. Failing to use money and wealth in ways that glorify God and draw people to Jesus Christ wreaks havoc on the life of the person who is mismanaging these assets. It also helps wreck the lives of people who see the bad example and follow it.
Being entrusted with money and taking godly management and investment actions to grow its value will be a blessing when you use the assets to abundantly support worthwhile endeavors in addition to caring for your family’s needs. Father God does not want you to reap earthly destruction and eternal damnation nor lead others toward that path. He instructs you to use money and wealth to build a good foundation on earth and for your time in eternity. This will be a witness to God when your life is judged showing that your faith is not dead.
The Lord wants you to pursue His unique passion for your life. Gifts and abilities He planted in you are usually indicative of the major area of work and/or ministry He wants to ultimately move you into. However, proper management of money including tithing and abundant giving based on biblical principles is usually the catalyst that ignites the charge to blast open windows and doors of opportunity that lead you to God’s grand destiny for you on earth.
There are steps along the way that you must utilize that may not seem like His plan for your life or may not seem advantageous for where you think your life is going. They will aim you at serving in marketplace and ministry capacities and under the authority of particular people. Don’t be deceived by satan into thinking God will give you your own ministry or successful business without you have to serve under the work or ministry He entrusted another person to oversee.
All of us must pay our dues as apprentices and disciples molded by God through other people. When such service is rendered you are headed in the right direction and will reach the final rung of true success. Therefore, you should trust that God’s great favor will be shown to you because you desire to and actually do obey Christ’s commands from a heart filled with faith.
Most everyone desires enormous wealth, huge annual income, mansions, expensive cars, fine jewelry, and the latest clothing. However, it is more important that you seek God in daily prayer, scripture reading, holy living, ministry in the marketplace and in church, moral business pursuits, tithing, and debt elimination. Then life around you will become rich in the things that really matter - pleasing God’s heart, godly stewardship, fruitful relationships, peace, and joy.
What's more, you'll sidestep the otherwise negative consequences of forsaking God’s way and you are very likely to experience great earthly wealth with no sorrow added to it.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
