“lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein; and when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; and thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant...”
Deuteronomy 8:12-13, 17-18 KJV
Under the old covenant, God promised to heap enormous wealth upon His people. It is God’s perfect will, in the clear teaching of God’s Word for us to be rich and wealthy. In the new covenant, God said to seek His Kingdom and His righteousness and all things shall be added to us. God is the Provider of all riches because He is the Sole Owner of this earth and its fullness. God provides the power to get wealth, the ability, ideas and strategies to create wealth come from Him. In Christ everything we could ever need for life and godliness has already been deposited in us by His divine power. For all this was lavished upon us through the rich experience of knowing Him Who has called us by name and invited us to come to Him through a glorious manifestation of His goodness. Let’s depend on God the Holy Spirit for prosperity, and be accountable to Him for stewarding His wealth for the advancement of His Kingdom. Amen!
