Let me tell you a secret - I used to find it extremely difficult, unpleasant even, when people talk about money and God in the same breath. I mean, didn?t one scripture verse command, "Thou shall not serve both God and money?" If this were the case, will the successful entrepreneur making a living to provide his family a good life be condemned? Are either needy and noble, or wealthy and lost?
As man continued to grow in knowledge, information regarding biblical prosperity got clearer and clearer. Fortunately, man doesn't have to starve for the salvation of his soul. In fact, God says He desires to bless you with more than enough - with overflowing abundance and prosperity.
So we ask, what then does God say about money and possessions? Several bible verses relating to biblical prosperity give us the answers. First of all, God wants His people to prosper (Genesis 12:1-3; Psalm 35:27; John 10:10). Once there was a man God called out to a foreign land and he obeyed. His name was Abraham. His faith was rewarded with so much wealth and favor among men; he also got his most cherished gift?a beloved son. As you can see, God provided this miracle for Abraham on top of all his blessings because God is a generous God.
Tithing is an essential part in walking in God's plan of prosperity (Leviticus 27:30; Malachi 10:10). Of course God does not need money. He owns the whole universe he has no use for money. He has use for faith. Tithing reflects this and this gives God something to work with in pouring out blessings into your life. It?s uncomfortable at first but God will always provide for those who trust in Him.
Tithing is a seed. So is your obedience to His laws, your offerings and your participation in bringing His message of Love to His people. Remember, you reap what you sow and a harvest is coming for the faithful. Whatever you have given is recorded and you will be blessed for it. It is not that you are paying to be blessed; you are giving to a God who will bless you according to His riches not yours so you can afford to be generous yourself.
Before God can bless you with prosperity you need to ask yourself honestly, can God trust you with it? You need to be a faithful steward even with the little you have (mark 10:17; Luke 12:48; 1 Timothy 6:17) so that when your breakthrough comes your heart is prepared. Enjoy the comfort things and material possessions can give you, but do not let it take first place in your life. It?s not bad to have money, but do not make building your fortune your life. You cannot serve both God and money so serve God and make money serve you.
And finally, God Himself gives us the power to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18; 2 Corinthians 8; Philippians 4:14-18) for the intent that we too can be a blessing to others. You will enjoy success in your life while allowing yourself to be a conduit of God?s work for others. There is no worthier cause than this.
The reason for abundance and prosperity is to make the world beautiful, not just for ourselves but for other people as well. Do not preoccupy yourself unnecessarily with the pursuit of money - it will find you. Aspire instead for obedience, faith and a deeper relationship with God and your fellow man, these are the true riches you cannot put a price on.
