As Christians, we know that it is God who empowers us to make wealth. Any wealth that does not come from God or that is not divinely arranged will not last. Deut. 8:18 "Always remember that is the Lord your God who gives you power to become rich and he does it to fulfill the covenant he made with your ancestors. Power here refers to ideas, knowledge and vision which if worked upon will translate to riches. This is the reason behind why two men will be doing the same type of business and one will be prospering more than the other.( Difference in the power: ideas, knowledge and vision). Any one that fails to grab this power or that does not have this power to make wealth is more than an infidel.
Note that when a man is poor, he will have wrong friends. No mater his education, exposure and age, he will be seen as a no body and will not command the needed respect among his peers. This is why we as men must do everything within our powers to grab this power to make wealth. There are five (5) major things that can empower a man and make him wealthy. These are;
• HOLINESS: Holiness in the site of God will guarantee you wealth. You can only pray to God and receive answers when you are holy. Remember the bible says that the prayer of the sinner is an abomination in the sight of God. Obadiah vs. 17 "But Jerusalem will become a refuge for those who escape, it will be a holy place, and the people of Israel will come back to their inheritance" From the passage above, you can see that the people if Israel could only come back to reclaim their inheritance when the land became holy. Without holiness, a man looking for money will rather have a hole in his pocket.
• WISDOM, REVELATION & KNOWLEDGE: If God gives you wisdom and knowledge, and reveals to you the secret to make wealth, then you will be outstanding not only in making wealth, but in all things. Ephesians 1.17-18 says "Ask God the glorious father of wisdom and understanding so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your heart will be flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future God has promised to those he called. I want you to realize what a rich and glorious inheritance he has given to his people (you and I)".
• PRAYER: There are no short cuts to reach God except through prayer. If you are a genuine born again child of God, always go on your knees and request for the power to be rich and God will surely heed to you plea. He said ask and you shall receive, knock and the door will be open, so what are you waiting for?
• GIVE: Giving is like sowing. If you sow you reap if you don't sow you will not reap. Most Christians will beat their chest and tell you that nothing can make them to be poor again in life. This is because they have understood the mystery behind giving. In Luke chapter 6 vs.38, the bible says "If you give, you will receive, your gift will return to you in full measure, pressed down, shaken together to make more room for more and running over. Whatever measure you use in giving, large or small, it will be used to measure what is given back to you" So this is the reason why givers will beat their chests and tell you that they will never be poor. You want to make wealth, you want to be rich?, be a giver.
• BE A TITHER: Tithe is the tenth of your income. As Christians we are required to pay our tithe regularly. Most believers are still poor because they don't tithe. I want to ask you one question, if 90% of your income can not solve your problem, is it the 10% that you give to God that will? Many believers who want to make wealth don't play with their tithe. In Malachi 3 vs. 10, the bible says "Bring you the entire tithe into my store house so that there will be enough food in my temple. If you do, says the Lord Almighty, I will open the window of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great that you won't have enough room to take it in. Try it; let me prove it to you." You can imagine, God challenging you to make money and you don't want to do the right thing.
Dear brothers, the power to make wealth is right in your palms, use it and launch yourself into uncommon testimonies. God bless you.
