Silver and Gold

Friday 18 March
READ: Haggai 2:8
MORE LESSON: Deut. 8:10-18

Men and women of all ages and races desire silver and gold and even the Bible says that money answereth all things. Indeed money is a vital and essential commodity on this side of eternity. All over the world we see men wake up early and work throughout the day looking for ways to make money. I wish they know that first and foremost wealth is not got by labour and sweat but by connecting to the divine owner of wealth. How do you get wealth?
1.) Let Jehovah God be your God. When you identify with God who owns the silver and gold then you will also receive by inheritance (Gen. 25:5).
2). Identify with the principles of making money and money will be yours. One of such principles is being kind to others. Psalm 37:26 says, The righteous is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed. Be ready to give to others. Be ready to scatter rather than hoard. Proverbs.11:24 also says, There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.
3.) Whatever is not enough, turn it into a seed. Plant it; give it to God as an offering. The widow in I Kings 17:12-15 was in severe lack and God sent a prophet to her to feed. As she obeyed and sowed her last meal in the house for the prophet to eat first, abundance flowed in that replaced the lack, And she went and did according to the saying of Elijah; and she; and he and her house did eat many days. And the barrel of meal wasted not, neither did the cruse of oil fail, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake by Elijah: I Kings 17:15-16.
4.) Break your siege with your seed. A king did this in hot intense battle; when the tide turned against him, he gave a very costly sacrifice and he won the battle (II Kgs. 3:26-27). One such seed is giving first fruits at the beginning of each year to rid the coming year of lack and tightness. It has been tried and tested that those who honour God with their first fruits walk in supernatural abundance, Honor the Lord with thy substance and with the firstfruits of all thine increase; so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine: Prov.3:9-10.
5.) Look inwards for your miracle. Sometimes you suffer poverty because you are always looking outwards for someone to help you, bless you and give to you. Look inwards by using what you have in your hands to move your life forward and get wealth. These include your skills, talents and gifts.
