MONEY 1

There is nothing special or mystical about money! Money is essentially a medium of exchange for goods and services. If you are not providing goods and services, you are not entitled to financial gain. Therefore, it takes practical engagement in one business or the other to be entitled to financial rewards. Money is only a blessing if you have it, however, it becomes a curse if it has you. Money in the hand is a blessing; however, if it's the meditation of your heart, it becomes a curse, because the love of money opens you up to all kinds of evil. 

Money is placed in your hands to enlarge your distribution to your world, not to enlarge your possession like the rich fool. The wealth you don't distribute will destroy you, as it did to King Solomon. After building the temple and his house, we are not told that he ever gave money to anybody or anything. Rather, he kept on collecting from foreigners and visitors such as the Queen of Sheba. He never distributed his wealth for a good cause, instead we are told he married many wives and had many concubines. 

"Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” Jesus replied, “Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?” Luke 12:13-21

Beloved of God, as believers, our joy and hope is in the Lord. Jesus assures us in Matthew 6:32, said God knows our needs and will gladly meet them, furthermore, Malachi 3 shows us that the windows of heaven are opened towards us and our supply is not of this world

Confession: Thank You Abba Father for you are rich in grace and compassion, therefore I declare in the name of Jesus, I am blessed, the works of my hands are blessed, I am prosperous

Prayer: No influence of money shall overwhelm me and I will not be slave to money

Further Reading: Matthew 6, Ecclesiastes 10:19

Read Through the Bible: Isaiah 14 & I Peter 2
