FRIDAY 16TH

BLESSED FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOSPEL

Deuteronomy 8:18 (AMP), “But you shall (earnestly) remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers , as it is this day.”

In the words of Dr. Myles Munroe of blessed memory, “When purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable.” We as believers must never underestimate the importance of wealth and riches as an important destiny factor. As important as wealth and riches are, unfortunately, there are many who do not know the purpose hence they abuse wealth until it destroys their life!

What is the right purpose for money in the life and hands of believers? As shown to us in our anchor Scripture, it is for the establishment of God’s covenant and God’s kingdom. Begin today to develop a steward’s mentality concerning what your finances. Remember that you did not get the wealth by your own strength (Psalms 44:3). God only decided to entrust wealth into your hands so you can use it for His glory to further the work and expansion of His kingdom around you!

Why do you want to be rich? Have you checked your motives? Is it just for your personal comfort or firstly for the sake of the kingdom? David in Psalm 122:9 shows us the right motive to seek for riches. He said, “Because of the house (kingdom, covenant, Gospel) of our LORD our God, I will seek Thy good (prosperity, riches, wealth and influence)”. It is time to sponsor the Gospel big time. Put your wealth to right use!

FURTHER STUDY: Philippians 1:5(AMP), “I thank my God for your fellowship (your sympathetic cooperation and partnership) in advancing the Good news (the Gospel) from the first day (you heard it) until now.

CONFESSION: I BOLDLY CONFESS I AM A STEWARD OF MY WEALTH, I AM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH GOD FOR ADVANCING THE GOSPEL ON THE EARTH, I GIVE BIG!

ACTION POINT: Locate kingdom advancing opportunities and sow into it.

ONE YEAR READING PLAN: Matthew 16; Mark 8
