When we accept Jesus as our Savior we immediately become sons of God, have intimate access to Him, and a heavenly home we will fully experience upon our earthly demise. We also have access to all the LORD’s treasures needed to complete His mission and purposes for us on earth, corporately and individually.
Through daily prayer, bible reading, and weekly fellowship with the Church (a local expression of Jesus Christ’s body) we learn how His grace provides all we need, while faith in His ability to provide and be all that we need and more provides access to all we need, and obedience in following His instruction (in the Word and confirmed by the Holy Spirit) is often a key to being in the right place at the right time and receiving all we need. Certainly, the LORD can and does allow us benefits outside of this scenario at times. But the above scenario is most often the pattern for our maturity and realization of the things He wants to provide to help us reach the destiny He has in mind for us.
He also, knows that no man is perfect until after death or resurrection he reaches the eternal heavenly home. No one’s actions become all that God wants them to be overnight. We all walk out a process on earth that takes time to rid us of negative attitudes and activities. This sanctification process helps us lose the taste for sin and actions that are not expedient for us. However, throughout our earthly lifetime, we war against the cravings of our flesh, eyes, pride, satan, and demonic spirits. We sometimes slip or continue to live out bad habits until the Lord works them out of us in this maturity process. He is the Father to his children helping them to grow from infant to child to teen to adult.
Situations and obstacles that hamper you get better much sooner than anticipated when you adhere to biblical principles including those related to your personal finances. Societal norms, family traditions and opinions, peer pressure, etc. will present themselves as obstacles to try and stop you from becoming all that God planned. The enemy does not want you to prosper and profit because good stewards build God’s kingdom and destroy satan’s plan to bring as many humans as possible with him to his eternal home in Hell, which by the way was never intended for us.
In Christ, you have the power to overcome every obstacle, rebuke it, and resist its influence. Do not be weary in doing what God says is right because in due season you will be blessed for having done it! The godly seed you sow by moral living, understanding everything belongs to the LORD, working diligently, tithing, offering, budgeting your income and expenses, living within your income, eliminating debt, refusing to cosign, saving, investing, diversifying assets, and helping others learn His way of doing things will be multiplied back to you many times over.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
