The Formula For Wealth:
1. Don’t love money more than you love God. If you worry
about money that means money is an idol to you.
In Matthew 5 or 6, it says, “Do not
worry about what you will eat or what you will wear because
your God in Heaven already knows what you need”. The
enemy wants you to worry about finances to drive you away
from God because he knows that if you ACTUALLY follow Him,
love Him, and serve Him, God will prosper you and make you
great!
2. Work with a spirit of excellence as unto
Him. In Colossians it says, “Work with all your might
unto Him”.
God is your boss. God sees your diligence,
the extra hours, the motivation, and the heart that you’re
pouring into your job and HE WILL bless the fruit of your
hands.
Money comes from God!
3. KNOW that the money He is blessing you
with is for a MUCH BIGGER PURPOSE than just YOUR stuff.
4. KNOW that it’s God’s money
not yours. Money comes from GOD. He wants to multiply that
money but when you don’t honor Him or you’re stingy
with it He will not bless you with MORE. He’s not going
to give you MORE so that you wind up destroying your life.
He loves you but you need to know there’s
a difference between SPENDING and INVESTING. Which of these
are wise spending and which are foolish spending?
Another pair of black shoes, wise or foolish?
Foolish!
Another toy for the garage because it’s on sale? FOOLISH!
Going into debt to buy a car. Foolish!
Getting special training to grow your business so that you
can become more efficient and more profitable, wise or foolish?
WISE!!
Giving to God. Wise!
5. Be generous. God wants to bless you with MORE but He won’t
unless you GIVE. That money in your hand is ONLY a test to
see what you’re going to do with it. Can you be TRUSTED
with MORE?
As long as my husband and I have been giving
10 percent we have never needed for anything! Even in my worst
years financially, we have earned a six figure income. God
honors His word.
6. Give into the right soil. This is absolutely
enormous! When I learned this, my head just about exploded.
In the Bible, it talks about the parable of
the sower and the four different types of soil that a farmer
will sow into.
