“For thou shall remember the Lord thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18
Beyond our labor and due diligence to succeed in life and our businesses, there is an aspect of God’s intervention in ensuring that we have great success. From the scriptures, we discover that all riches and wealth belong to God, and we have access to this inheritance as children of God by our faith in Christ Jesus. God is able to bless you with an unexplainable success that is beyond human reasoning or principle because the power to make wealth is with Him. He is able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we can ever ask or imagine according to the power that works in us.
There are many instances where God has blessed His people in mysterious ways. God gave Jacob divine knowledge of animal breeding and husbandry; through this knowledge, he increased cattle and sheep and became very wealthy. Isaac received divine instruction from the Lord to sow in the land of Gerar, and he reaped a hundredfold that same year when the land was experiencing famine. Isaac’s wealth was so great that the king of the land became so afraid of his wealth.
Psalms 112:3 says, “Wealth and riches are in their houses, and their righteousness endures forever.”
Let us look at the story of the widow whose late husband was indebted to his master. When the master insisted that he would take her children as a substitute for the debt, the widow cried unto Elijah, and through divine instruction and the power of God, a pot of oil became a pot of wealth to the widow. She could pay her debt and even start a business with the remaining to feed her family (2 Kings 4:1-7). God gave the widow the power to make wealth. The scripture says riches and honor belong to God, enduring riches and righteousness (Proverbs 8:18). He also said in the book of Haggai that silver and gold belong to Him. But we cannot access this wealth if we are not part of the family of God.
Remember, an enslaved person has no right to the master’s inheritance, but only the sons and daughters do. Therefore, you have to give your life to Christ Jesus so that you can be made the sons and daughters of God. Give your life to Jesus Christ, and you shall receive the power to make wealth, and that business shall receive tremendous growth. When we love God with all our hearts and put our trust in Him, He gives us power and wisdom to make wealth and grow our business. Amen. 1 Samuel 2:7 says, “The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles, and He exalts.” Amen.
Prayer:
Father Lord, I pray that you will give me the power and wisdom needed to prosper and be wealthy in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
