How do we prepare for the wealth transfer?

A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,

But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.

Proverbs 13:22 (NKJV)

We know a period is coming where the wealth of the sinner will be transferred into the hands of the righteous. That is the prophecy, however do we prepare ourselves for the wealth transfer?

1. Find your purpose

Before the wealth of the wicked can be transferred into our hands, we will need to know the unique purpose and gift that God has given us. You and I must find the ‘one thing’ that God has chosen us to do. Once we know the ‘one thing’ and become known for it, we will be able to benefit from the fruit of it:

A man’s gift makes room for him, And brings him before great men.

Proverbs 18:16 (NKJV)

2. Become knowledgeable about your gift

Whatever gift or talent God has given us, He expects us to use it and multiply it, like the profitable servants. The way you do that is to increase your knowledge and practice that skill so that you can become an expert. Once you are an expert, the world will come to see your gift and will be willing to pay you to use it:

Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

Isaiah 60:3 (NIV)

3. Learn how to serve many people

The wealth of the wicked will come when we learn how to serve people and increase the number of people whom we serve. Whatever gift you have been given, ask God for wisdom to increase the number of people who you can serve with it. Jesus said that when we follow Him, He will make us fishers of men:

And He saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Matthew 4:19 (KJV)

Prayer:

Dear Lord, please help me to prepare for the coming wealth transfer and to use it for the proclamation of the Gospel in Jesus name.

Financial Freedom

Happy New Year. We wish you a financially prosperous and blessed New Year ahead.

The bible has a lot to say about money. The Bible offers 500 verses on prayer, less than 500 on faith, but more than 2,000 verses on money and possessions including the famous one from I Timothy that says “the love of money is the root of all evils.” Notice is says “the love of money,” not just money.

Money can be something that draws us away from God and can destroy relationships. It can also be used to bless many people, relieve suffering and spread the Gospel. Money is not the problem as such, the bible cautions us it’s our relationship with money that’s important.

1, God desires us to be financially secure
Essentially money is a vessel to enhance the work of the kingdom of God. God wants us to be financially free from both greed and debt.  He wants us to be good stewards of money. God desires us to be financially secure. He desires us to be in a place where we can give to others.

So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honoured by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Matthew 6:2-4

2, God desires that we handle money wisely and effectively
God wants us to be financially literate and wise with money. He wants us to be able to invest and get a good return on the money we have. The parable of the talents sums this up. Matthew 25:14-30 One steward receives five talents. Another receives two talents. A third steward receives one talent. These stewards are entrusted with the care of money. The first two understand the spirit and letter of instructions and the character of their Lord. They both use the resources by “trading” to gain a profit. Each of them makes a 100 percent profit. Fear and mistrust of his Lord motivate the third steward. He buries the money in the earth and returns the original amount. The profitable stewards are praised, given increased responsibilities and invited to enter into the joy of their Lord. The untrusting steward is scolded, rejected, and punished. The basis of the reward will be their stewardship of His resources entrusted to them. Those who fear and do not believe will be rejected and judged. Here we can see that God desires us to grow and prosper and to get a return. We can see therefore that being financially free is God’s desire for our life so we can bless ourselves and others.

3, God desires that we love Him more then we love money
The love of money is the root of all evil. God does not say being a millionaire or financially free is evil. He says that loving money more than God is the root of all evil. He cautions us that we cannot serve two masters.

No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
 Matthew 6:24

Our goal is to have money, to be blessed by money but to not serve it as an idol and regard it as more important than God.

Summary

It is safe to say then that God views money as important. God desires His children to have money. He wants us to bless ourselves and others with money. He wants us to be financially free and secure so that we can bless each other and the poor. His main desire is that we love Him more than money. God says if we look after His interests He will bless us in all areas of our life abundantly.

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the LORD Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.
Malachi 3:10

Final Word from Joshua: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord

And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Joshua 24:15

In his final address to the Children of Israel, Joshua gave them a stark choice to make, they were to decide on whom they would serve; the false gods of their ancestors or The Lord God of Israel.

Likewise, as our studies in the book of Joshua comes to an end, you and I have a choice to make, are we going to serve the god of this world or are we going to follow The Lord who make heaven and earth? For those who want to serve The Lord, what does it mean to serve The Lord?

1. Worship God for Who He is

The service that God requires is one of worship. True worship is one that flows from deep within our spirit and acknowledges God simply for Who He is. This worship must be done in the Spirit and in truth:

God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

John 4:24

2. Giving Him thanks

God delights in thanksgiving and thanksgiving is the sacrifice that God requires. We have so many things to thank Him for. The fact that we are alive and in our right mind is enough reason to thank Him:

Offer to God thanksgiving, And pay your vows to the Most High.

Psalm 50:14 (NKJV)

3. Serving humanity

We also bring honour to God when we find our purpose or reason for being born and we are fruitful in that arena. We become fruitful and productive when we serve humanity with our gifts and talents and make the world a better place than when we found it:

And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Genesis 1:28

Prayer

Dear Lord, I choose like Joshua, that as for me and my house, we too will serve the Lord in Jesus name.

We Serve A Mighty God

For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan before you until you had crossed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which He dried up before us until we had crossed over, that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever.”

Joshua 4:23-24 (NKJV)

We serve a Mighty God.

In Joshua chapter four, the Children of Israel had left Egypt and were making their way to the Promised Land, however they came across a big obstacle in their way, the Jordan River. God had told them to go in that direction and yet they came across this great obstacle.

As pilgrims who are journeying through this life to get to our Promised Land, we too will find that the way God may lead us will not always be clear. Obstacles may come our way from time-to-time which may seem insurmountable. However we should not despair.

When the Children of Israel came across the Jordan River, the hand of the God of Israel which is mighty and strong caused the water in the Jordan River to stop flowing so that they could cross it on dry land—just as the Lord had stopped the water at the Red Sea so that they could cross it on dry land. The Lord did this so that all the people in the earth would know that He is very powerful and would fear Him.

When Jesus and His disciples were crossing to the other side and a great windstorm arose and the waves beat into the boat, the disciples were fearful because they thought they would perish. When they awaked Jesus from His sleep, Jesus arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace, be still” (Mark 4:35-41). The disciples became very fearful and said to one another, “What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). The sea obeyed God when the Children of Israel were marching towards the Promised Land. The sea obeyed Jesus when He and His disciples were crossing over to the other side.

As pilgrims passing through this life to the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, we should likewise remember that God is mighty and is able to dry up any sea standing in our way and calm every storm in our lives.

If Almighty God could dry up the Jordan River and the Red Sea, and Jesus could command the sea to be still, what can He not do for you? Today, please rely on God and His Son Jesus to see you through any battle that you may be going through.

Prayer

Jehovah God, You are The Mighty God. I thank You that You are the same yesterday, today and forever. What You did for the Children of Israel You are more than able to do for me. I ask You to please stretch forth Your mighty hand and let every Jordan problem in my life dry up and every storm standing in my way to the Promised Land be made still by Your power, in Jesus name, Amen.

What does the Lord require of you?

This week, the Lord wants to remind us of what He wants from us, now that, like the children of Israel, He has delivered from the power of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of His dear Son whom He loves; The Lord Jesus Christ:

 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the Lord and His statutes which I command you today for your good?
Deuteronomy 10:12-13

What then, does the Lord require from us?

1.Fear Him – to fear the Lord means to respect Him and hold Him in high honour. For example we hold Queen Elizabeth in extremely high honour which is why if you were invited into Buckingham Palace to have dinner with The Queen, you will dress appropriately and arrive in good time, and ensure that all protocols are followed. Likewise when we fear The Lord we will ensure that we do what He says because we acknowledge Him as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Revelation 19:16).

The Bible says that the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever (Psalm 19:9), and it is also the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).

2. Walk in His ways – to walk in His ways means to go where He leads you, which is revealed in His Word. Psalms 103:7 says God made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel. God is willing and ready to make His ways known to you, but He can only do so when you spend time reading His word, asking The Holy Spirit to give you wisdom, revelation and understanding as you read.

As you go into the secret place and spend quality time with Him, ask Him what is on His heart and how you can please Him, then stay quiet and listen to His instructions. Then whatever He tells you to do, go out and do it, that is what it means to walk in His ways.

His ways cannot be contrary to His Word therefore if you are not sure whether what you have heard is the voice of God, please check it against the Word, and if it agrees with the Word then do it.

3. Love Him – the Bible tells us that to love God is to keep His commandments (1 John 5:3). It also tells us that if a man says He loves God and hates his brother he is a liar (1 John 4:20). To love The Lord then means that you put Him first, always be eager to do what pleases Him, do what He tells you to do in His Word and love your fellow human beings as yourself.

4. Serve Him with all your heart and soul – we serve the Lord by worshiping Him and serving our fellow human beings. Once we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour and have a restored relationship with God The Father, this is where the real work begins.

As servants of The Lord we must do what the masters tells us to do. Jesus, the One Whom we follow is called the Righteous Servant (Isaiah 53:11). As a Servant, Jesus had much work to do whilst He was on earth; He preached the gospel, healed the sick, cast out demons, did miracles and He finally finished His work by dying on the Cross to bring us back to God.

As His followers, we too must stand strong and always give ourselves fully to the work of the Lord because we know that our labour is not in vain in The Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58).

Once you become saved and discover what your calling in life is, we must walk in that holy calling (2 Timothy 1:9). The Lord reminds us to work while it is day because the night is coming when no man can work (John 9:4).

5. Keep the commandments of The Lord – the commandments of Lord are the rules and regulations we have to follow. Thank God that we are no longer under the law but we are under grace. In the Old Testament, the Jews had to abide by hundreds of laws which no man could keep.

Now, praise be to God, the only commandments we have to keep is to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind. Jesus tells us that this is the “first and great commandment”. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself’ (Matthew 22:37-39).

To love the Lord with all our heart, soul, and mind means we love Him with everything that is in us, it means that our heart is flooded with Him, and our mind, will and emotions are filled with thoughts about Him. It means we should think more about Him and how to please Him than we do with anything else in our lives.

If you find that your love for God is not as hot as it ought to be, please pray this prayer from the Bible which I have personalised, every morning and night and watch your love for the Lord grow strong:

Prayer for Love

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant me, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in my inner man, that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith; that I, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that I may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that I ask or think, according to the power that works in me, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

(Ephesians 3:14-21)

To recap, what The Lord require from us are to:

1. Fear Him
2. Walk in His ways
3. Love Him
4. Serve Him with all your heart and soul
5. Keep the commandments of The Lord
