Power to get wealth

"And beware lest you say in your [mind and] heart, My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth. But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day."

Deuteronomy 8:17-18(AMP)

As a child of God, you must always remember the source of your wealth. It is not your power or the might of your hands. The power to get wealth comes from God.

Someone came to me one time and asked me if he should stop an ungodly business that he was engaged in. I knew he had to stop it so I told him to write down the amount he makes in that business, lift it before God and God would pay him.

What was the principle in scripture that made me confident to tell him to do that? You will find it in 2 Chronicles 25. When Amaziah the king of Judah at that time wanted to go to war, he hired 100,000 mighty men of valor from Israel for 100 talents of silver. The man of God came to him and instructed him by the Word of the Lord not to go to war with the men of Israel he hired, so he asked the man of God in 2 Chronicles 25:9, "…But what shall we do about the 100 talents which I have given to the army of Israel? The man of God answered, The Lord is able to give you much more than this." Amaziah obeyed and went to war without the 100,000 men of Israel and God still gave him victory.

This should let you know that whenever God tells you to give up something, it is because He wants to give you much more. As a Christian, do not continue in that illegitimate business you were into before you got born again. Give it up for the Lord, and He will give you much more than that. He will give you the power to get wealth.

Prayer.

Dear Father, I thank you for giving me the power to get wealth. I vow to establish your covenant with my personal involvement and finances to see to it that the gospel of salvation spreads more and more until all the families of the earth have been blessed in Jesus Name. Amen.
