Do You Desire Inexhaustible Wealth?

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God is still in the business of making impossibilities possibilities. Please see Luke Chapter 1 verse 37, Mark Chapter 10 verse 27, Jeremiah Chapter 32 verse 27, 17, Daniel Chapter 2, Esther Chapter 7, Exodus Chapter 14, Ephesians Chapter 3 verse 20, Luke Chapter 18 verse 27, and Psalm 62 verse 12.

You need inexhaustible wealth? Then you should answer the question - what can you presently trade in and exchange for wealth?  The widow of the indebted prophet in 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7 traded in a jar of oil for inexhaustible wealth. God compounded a limited resource set aside for domestic purposes – cooking to an unlimited resource for money making activities. God compounded the jar of oil into several vessels of oil because the woman obeyed divine instructions. A woman who had nothing as it were; was in an unpleasant and impossible situation; without any visible means of livelihood suddenly became an oil merchant because God intervened in her situation.

God gave her an endless supply of divine resources – the oil kept flowing as long as she had vessels to fill because the oil was coming from an unlimited overflowing source that never runs out irrespective of economic temperatures in the world. Though the situation the woman and her two sons found themselves in was unpleasant and embarrassing, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, an opportunity masked as problems and challenges that became stepping stones to financial abundance and total freedom from debts. They were never again in debt as their income from the divine surplus of oil resources exceeded their expenditure so that they had more than enough to live on for the rest of their lives. There was no reason to borrow from anyone to live on like their late father and husband did. The situation ended the issue of indebtedness that was fast progressing into a generational issue and debt bondage in their lineage. God reversed the evil to good by replacing financial lack with financial abundance that would last generations. With the flow of oil God ensured financial transformation from indebtedness and lack to financial abundance and overflow.

Engage in Wealth Creating Activities

To make money and create wealth, you have to engage in an income generating activity.  Lydia was a business woman who sold purple – Acts Chapter 16 verse 14. The virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 10 to 31 was a business woman – knitting and sewing, designing gowns and sweaters for sale. She also invested in agriculture. The widow of the indebted prophet was a business woman – she sold oil and became debt free, 2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7. Aquila was a tentmaker and worked with her husband. At some point, the Apostle Paul joined them – Acts Chapter 18 verses 1 to 3.

Preachers and teachers are also engaged in the tasks of money making through the knowledge they share. That is why the Bible says that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel. Acts Chapter 9 verses 1 to 14.

In every instance of financial lack, insufficiency, and indebtedness in the Bible, the recourse was always on how to access financial resources either through paid employment (hiring your time, skills and expertise out for money as in the case of the prodigal son (Luke Chapter 15 verses 11 to 19); production and sales of products as in the case of the indebted prophet’s widow (2^nd Kings Chapter 4 verses 1 to 7); and engagement in  a trade as in the case of Peter who went fishing to get the required tax money.

In all of these instances, we find people engaging in income generating activities to raise the required financial resources. None went begging or borrowing or stealing. They engaged in economic activities. They also were not instructed to give away their financial lack, insufficiency or indebtedness by either begging or borrowing to give in order to receive a hundred fold return. They also did not mope around to say they were trusting God, pray against the enemies of their financial resources, divine as to who or what was responsible for their financial lack, insufficiency and indebtedness. They simply went in search of the money by engaging in income generating activities.

Decisions Decide Wealth 2

Borrowing is often a symptom of impatience and impatience usually births hasty actions such as borrowing at high interest rates. As much as possible, always seek the face of God before borrowing money. When the indebted prophet’s widow cried to Elisha, Elisha did not instruct her to borrow money to repay the loan that had culminated in debt bondage for her two sons. Instead, he asked her what she had at home. She replied that she had a jar of oil. That was all Elisha required - something the woman could hold on to and trade in for the very urgently required financial resources to offset her late husband’s debt so that her two sons would not go into debt bondage.

You may argue that Elisha asked her to borrow vessels. Beloved, those were resources she would need to house the multiplying oil to the capacity that would fetch the money to pay off the debt as well as generate sufficient money for her and her sons to live on. These vessels would also serve to package the oil for sale to her neighbours and as the oil was sold for money, the vessels would be returned to the owners. This way, she would access vessels at no extra cost and earn money from what she had.

Borrowing should always be at the clear leading of God and not necessarily the circumstances that appear insurmountable.

Build and Sustain Generational Wealth 1

The Biblical truth about wealth creation is that wealth has to be created – Deuteronomy Chapter 8 verse 18. The indebted prophet’s widow alongside her two sons became packagers of an unlimited divine resource which they later marketed to generate money. Wealth was created.

The power to create wealth can be mental, spiritual and physical. Whichever, God deposited in you the power to create wealth. David for instance had military power and used that power to advantage in securing personal and national wealth in Israel. How? The nations he subdued brought tribute to him. In addition, the spoils of war, particularly the gold, silver and bronze pieces  alongside iron and opulent garments contributed to his wealth. The slaves taken in war also worked the land for agricultural produce.

Solomon was blessed with spiritual and mental power. His spiritual power lay in his total surrender, respect, honor and obedience to God coupled with his total dependence on God to help him administer justice. Consequently, God blessed him with the additional gift of wisdom. He was the wisest man of his time and globally he became a resource and reference on wisdom. People; especially kings and queens as well as people of great repute, social and economic standing came in search of him to hear his wisdom. They did not come empty handed. They came with quality gifts that translated into great wealth for Solomon. He became the wealthiest person of his time. Solomon also invested in intra region trade and had a flourishing bilateral trade treaty and business with Hiram, king of Tyre. This increased his wealth.
