The LORD’s will is that you would be wealthy as a result of pursuing intimacy with Him and employing biblical principles in your life, including the arenas that need money and resources to navigate. The only way to avoid the many potholes and consequences that come from pursuing more money and resources using any other way requires that you abstain from fleshly lusts and wrong-headed pursuits in order to allow God to bring you into a unique wealthy place of business and ministry where godliness with contentment is great gain. Otherwise, your life will be an eternal failure even when you seem successful on earth.
The pursuit of riches should never be the primary motivation of any believer. But riches often come and are used in the proper manner when a person sets a goal to become more productive and fruitful in his / her work and entrepreneurial endeavors within the framework of an intimate, dynamic, and disciplined relationship with Christ to help him / her fulfill God-given purpose. Make sure, no matter your opportunities or pursuits, that you always maintain reasonable time for daily devotion including thanksgiving, praise, worship, prayer, bible study, weekly fellowship with the saints, and ministry to your family and other people. When these spiritual disciplines take priority in your life, you will not pursue money and material things at all costs rather you will do so within the framework of biblical instruction and the LORD’s specific guidance to you, thereby eliminating harmful effects of anti-Christ-like behavior like deceiving or cheating others to profit your business or ministry.
In this way, you will live out your heritage as a priest and king of the Most High God by exhibiting chaste, godly, and generous conduct that overcomes evil words that some people will speak against you, especially as you prosper more and more. In fact, the example of your life as well as the natural and supernatural wealth it produces will be used by the Holy Spirit to win many people to Christ. He will be pleased with your faith-based efforts and the wealthy place to which He guides you.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May the LORD bless you richly as you follow His plan!
Psalm 139:13-18, Matthew 25:14-15, 1Peter 2:9-12, Revelations 1:5-6
