There is a correlation between the fear of God and
wealth especially generational wealth. The biblical characters Who served God
with a true and sincere heart made God the source of their daily provision and
wealth. They trusted God and subsequently amassed wealth by the Spirit and
leading of God. Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Jabez, Job, David, Joseph, Daniel,
Nehemiah, Jehoshaphat, Solomon and Hezekiah are some examples.
If you know and believe God; and always ask from Him
first; then you will never have to beg people to meet your needs as God will
always direct people to work you in your favor. This is because God will always direct people
to give to you; surprisingly even before you ask from God sometimes. That is
why you must do away with any dishonest methods of making money. If you think
you cannot be rich through honesty, then you do not know God and the word. The
Bible records that God gives you the power to get wealth in Deuteronomy Chapter
8 verse 18. Severally, God has made this happen in the lives of people and He
is still making it happen.
Always ask God to meet your needs. Do not compel people to give you things. God will give you the things you need without your direct involvement in asking people to give you things. God is still God. Therefore, do not underestimate the power of God to do the miraculous. Always trust and depend on the miracle working power of God to always give you your daily bread. Please see Luke Chapter 11 verse 3.
Kings Solomon, Jehoshaphat and Hezekiah were all
descendants of King David. These three Kings had a number of things in common.
They feared God and served as Kings in Israel and Judah with the fear of God;
directing the hearts of the people to God. Subsequently, they were favored by
God as wealth accrued to them from different peoples and nations, fulfilling
Scripture that the wealth of the Gentiles is usually transferred to believers
by God. Please see Isaiah Chapters 60 verses 1 to 22; please take note of
verses 5 to 13 and 61 verses 6 to 7.
Significantly and quite instructive, these Kings did
not ask from anyone. God directed peoples and nations to bless them with
resources that increased and multiplied their wealth. Please see 2nd
Chronicles Chapter 17 verses 1 to 19, 18 verse 1.
When God is your source, you will not tell lies to
ensure provision. And because you do not tell lies, God will always guarantee
divine provision for you. The divine provision of God for you is not predicated
on your strength but on the love of God. It is that love of God for you that
will make God touch the hearts of people to always bless you with the resources
that you need. Please see Ecclesiastes Chapter 9 verse 11.
Therefore, make God your source by depending on Him
for all you need and endeavor to remain in His love at all times. Shalom.
