To Be Rich
Who wants to be poor? Who wants to suffer lack in any area of life? God provides the way for us to be rich, and not just financially.
“The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22″
Being rich is not all about the Benjamins ($$$). When the blessing of the Lord is at work in a person’s life, God empowers that person to succeed in EVERY area of life.
What good does it do for a man to have tons of money and poor health? What good does it do for a woman to have great health, all kinds of money but she’s not in her right mind and nobody can stand her?
What good does it do for someone to have good health, but live in a state of poverty? And what good does it do for anybody to have all the best material possessions this life has to offer only to lose the most precious gift of all – their soul?
The blessing of the Lord empowers one to succeed (be truly rich) in every area of life: physically, spiritually, financially, mentally, relationships, etc. To be truly rich means to be WHOLE, nothing lacking.
The ones who receives God’s instructions through faithful obedience will operate in His blessing, and this supernatural empowerment drives them, pushes them, MAKES them succeed! When we are faithful to God, we can’t help but succeed.
“He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. Proverbs 10:17″
If lack in any area exists, it’s not God’s fault because He has already provided the empowerment to succeed and overcome any obstacle. Any area that is lacking indicates the need to hear and receive God’s Word (God’s teachings) on that issue by:
1) Hearing His prophets, evangelists, pastors, apostles and teachers,
2) Reading, studying and meditating on specific scriptures related to that issue and,
3) Hearing the still quiet voice of God directly, as He dwells on the inside of each Believer and speaks directly to their heart.
True riches are found by those who hear, receive and obey God’s Word which provides the right seed for every need.
Be Blessed!
Awesome, I’m going to internalize this because it is exactly what I need right now. It helps me not to rush God’s work, but wait patiently on him.
This pertains to my college courses for next semester and buying another vehicle.
God is so awesome to use Godly people in my life to bring me this message – thank you!
