Greetings brethren,
continuation from last week...
The need for us give heed and hear from Him, rather than been distracted by some obvious needs.
If we are led by obvious and neglecting the needful, how will we answer when we stand before the Almighty God, Judge of the whole world?
Looking at money influence this week;
What about if you are money led in our decisions?
That would mean, working shift after shift to make ends meet, this will give you less or inadequate time for the Word of God. It also would mean living a life without God's protection and guidance, as a result of this, you can fix one thing another broke down(Psalm 127:1-2). The question is how long will you continue this way, all your life? let's face it, is this the purpose for our creation? Working round the clock just to make end meet? I think desire more for than that. This is situations were one is overtaken by cares(obvious) of this world.
What about situation with wealthy individuals having large investments and engagements that is so demanding, you barely have time for the Word?
Please understand this, God takes no pleasure in the poverty of a believer, rather in the prosperity of his servant, Psalm 35:27. Everything his servant is going to do requires abundant supplies. But, it's going to be only on His(God) terms as the supplier, not ours. In 2 Corinthians 9:8
"... God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:" it can come through the works of our hands by engaging in certain things he ask you to, or others means, he can send the raven, like in the case of Elijah, he can do it again. It all about following His leading. But, to make riches our primary objective put us in the position of the obvious; which most times are distraction from the main goal. Proverbs 23:4,
"Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom." It exposes any and everyone to the assault of the enemy.
The purpose for doing anything matters to God. Ephesians 4:28,
"Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth." if God leads you to business or career where you earn fat, you should not be afraid to use it on what He wants you to. Not so you can be poor, this action is what connects you and I to the blessing, as a result God becomes the source. I mean overtaking order of blessing, Deutoromony 28:2. It is the blessing that make rich and add no sorrow with it, Proverbs 10:22.
Too many destinies have been trapped and caged by these errors, it time to change.
It only begins with a decision.
Let God lead you through this path of life, it comes mainly by spending adequate time with Him. That's when we get to know His mind on certain areas and issues, which can keep us from errors.
Stay blessed and be fruitful all through the week, in Jesus name!
Jesus is Lord!
