Find the Money 3

To find the money, there are certain limitations and hindrances to money making that you should pay attention to closely in order not to be trapped by them. They include:

}  Refusal to pay tithes and give offerings

This manifest in refusal to tithe, inconsistent tithing, inaccurate tithing, refusal to give offerings, and even when you give, the offerings are stingy. The quality of the tithe (that is the mindset/attitude inn giving the tithe such as this is it, stop disturbing me coupled with the packaging of the tithe as well as presentation are critical determinants of genuine and sincere tithing. Also important is the source of the tithe; is it from the hire of a dog, prostitution, robbery, blood money?

Other forms of limitations and hindrances include outright refusal to support kingdom work (Haggai Chapter 1), consistent disobedience to God, rebellion( Deuteronomy Chapter 28), idolatry (Judges Chapter 7, 1^st Kings Chapter 17 and 18), dishonesty (Proverbs Chapter 13 verse 11), idle chatter (Proverbs Chapter 14 verse 22), laziness and frivolity (Proverbs Chapter 6 verses 6 to 11, 20 verses 4 and 13, 24 verses 30 to 34, 12 verse 11, 28 verse 19), giving to the rich and oppressing the poor (Proverbs Chapter 22 verse 16), profligacy (Proverbs Chapter 21 verse 17, 23 verses 20 to 21, 6 verse 26, the prodigal son), haste (Proverbs Chapter 21 verse 5b), overwork (Proverbs Chapter 23 verses 4 to 5).

Do away with hatred as hatred impoverishes. Please see Psalm 89 verse 23, Deuteronomy Chapter 7 verse 15, 1^st John Chapters 3 verses 11 to 15; 4 verse 20, Revelation Chapter 21 verse 8, Galatians Chapter 5 verses 19 to 22, Genesis Chapter 27 verse 41 (Esau and Jacob), Genesis Chapter 37 note verses 4 to 5, 8, 11, 19 to 20, 25 to 28 (Joseph and his brothers), 2^nd Samuel Chapter 13 verses 15 to 16, 22 to 33, Ezekiel Chapters 35; 36 verse 5, Proverbs Chapter 10 verse 18.

Build and Sustain Generational Wealth 2

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

King David also had multiple income streams from tributes from the nations he conquered in battles, spoils of war. He was a warrior and made great wealth from the spoils of war and tributes from the nations he subdued. Significantly, David never relied on his physical strength or military prowess or strategy for defeating and subduing and conquering nations.  He relied on God for victory in every battle. God honored David’s dependence on Him and gave him victory at all times in addition to preserving him from destruction. Every battle strategy and victory came from God and David always returned the glory to God. It is also significant that David always consulted God before going for any battle. Despite several victories in battle, David never took it for granted to get into any battle without asking counsel, favor and direction from God. David’s strength was in his total reliance  and dependence on God. That was his own power  to get wealth and God added divine military strategies that gave him victory on all sides – he conquered and subdued nations all around him and they paid him tributes in addition to all the spoils of war. 1^st Chronicles Chapter 18 verses 6, 13, 1^st Samuel Chapter 16 verse 18.

King David was an extremely wealthy man in his time and nation but over time his children, great great grandchildren surpassed his wealth. Significantly, he was the father of King Solomon, the wisest and wealthiest king of his time. His wealth and wisdom surpassed the wealth and wisdom of other kings. He was the wealthiest king globally.

So also were Jehoshaphat and Hezekiah, other members of the Davidic lineage. How then did David, a shepherd boy who later became a warrior king make so much money that he gave one hundred thousand talents of gold , one million talents of silver, bronze and iron beyond measure, timber and stone for the building of the  temple? 1^st Chronicles Chapter 22 verses 14 to 16. This figure was later increased in 1^st Chronicles Chapter 29 verses 2 to 5.
