We don’t store and horde, we obey God with
what He gives us and He will increase us.
In these economic times, God wants us to
prosper. He wants us to be a symbol and a
source of the blessing; not limited by the
economy. We are not limited by the natural
realm. We have made deposits in Heaven
and the Bank of Heaven is in good shape.
Sowing and reaping is not dependent upon
how the economy is going or how the stock
market is going.
It works every time and God’s kingdom is on
the increase. So we are to be increasing.
It is God’s will for us to prosper.
Proverbs 10:22—The Blessing of the Lord, It
Makes Rich, and He Adds No Sorrow to It
Money without sorrow! What a good thing!
We have seen people that have much money
and that have had tremendous sorrow in their
lives. Physical attacks on their bodies. Their
families are full of strife.
The Godly rich are different. There is a way to
conduct ourselves; the rich and the righteous
have a way of conducting themselves.
We are taught that in the Bible; so that the
blessings of the Lord makes us rich and no
sorrow would be added to it.
AMP: “The Blessing of the Lord—it makes
[truly] rich, and He adds no sorrow with it
[neither does toiling increase it].”
So there is no toil in the increase of God.
It’s the blessing. That doesn’t mean we
don’t work. It means that we won't have
to work longer or harder. But we are to do
whatever the Lord tells us to do about our
life occupation.
We have a calling, everybody has a calling.
Whether in business or the ministry, we are
to be where God has us. And the blessing
of the Lord will make us rich and He will
add no sorrow to it.
NIV: “The Blessing of the Lord brings wealth,
without painful toil [trouble] for it.”
Brenton translation: “The Blessing of the Lord
is upon the head of the righteous; it enriches
him, and grief of heart shall not be added to it.”
No grief added and we are being enriched.
GNB translation: “It is the Lord’s Blessing that
makes you wealthy….”
Psalm 112: The Bible definition of “rich".
1 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that
feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his
commandments.
2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the
generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and
his righteousness endureth for ever.
darkness: he is gracious, and full of com-
passion, and righteous.
5 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he
will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the
righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his
heart is fixed, trusting in the LORD.
we must be clear about that.
Rich (HEB) AWSHAR = accumulate and grow;
wax great
Abraham was rich with cattle, silver and gold.
Isaac sowed in famine and he waxed great.
He was the riches man on earth at that time.
And it is the will of God for us to wax great.
Satan would fight the message of prosperity.
Even people that are Christians because they
have been taught poverty is a blessing.
Poverty is a curse! Abundance is a blessing!
God wants to establish His covenant and He
gives us the power to be wealthy in order to
do that.
God is not opposed to His children being rich;
He is opposed to them being covetous. He is
prospering them so they can give and give
and give. We prosper for covenant reasons
not for covetous reasons.
Our motivation for accumulation is distribution.
1 Timothy 6:17-18—Charge Them That Are
Rich in this world
Don’t be high-minded
Don’t trust in riches, but in the living God
Do good
Be rich in good works
Be ready to distribute, willing to give
That’s the way to stay rich!!!
We have people in the world writing books on
prosperity; How much more should we be
walking in The Blessing of God’s covenant
wealth?
2 Corinthians 8:9 (NLT): “You know the
generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he
became poor, so that by his poverty he
could make you rich.”
He wants us to get way beyond a “paycheck
to paycheck, barely surviving lifestyle. We
have been redeemed from the curse.
We get what we say, Mark 11:23 and 24. We
are saying what we have not what we want
and getting more of it. We go to the world and
find out what God says about it and say that.
We are to say what God says. And believe
what He says and go over His words everyday.
We are not to store and horde but to obey God
with what He gives us, this causes increase to
come to us.
God shows us great things in His Word. Things
that are applicable to us, today.
Deuteronomy chapter 28 tells us that He will
bless us in the city, and He will bless us in the
field [whatever we are doing in our lives that
He approves of].
Our God is THE “Million Maker”
Ezekiel 16:7 “I have caused thee to multiply
as the bud of the field, and thou hast Increased
and waxen great, and thou are come to
excellent ornaments….”
Excellent ornaments (HEB) = fine outfits
to multiply (HEB) = I have made you a million
We know what to do with wealth. We tithe,
we sow, we are generous, and we are people
who give when the Lord tells us to give.
We have to get out beyond what we can do
ourselves and trust God to supernaturally
supply.
Proverbs 8:17-21 (AMP): Riches and honor
are with the Lord, enduring wealth.
Recession doesn’t stop it, depression doesn’t
stop it, lack doesn’t stop it!
(KJV—durable riches) and righteousness. The
Lord causes those that love Him to inherit true
riches and He fills my treasures.
The ones who love Him are the ones who does
His Word.
Deuteronomy 8:18 (NLT): “Remember the
Lord your God. He is the one who gives you
power to be successful, in order to fulfill the
covenant he confirmed with your ancestors
with an oath. He is the one that makes us
rich and he does it to fulfill the covenant
that He made with our ancestors."
Genesis 14:22-23: “And Abram said to the
king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand
unto the Lord, the most high God, the
possessor of heaven and earth, that I will
not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet,
and that I will not take any thing that is thine,
lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram
rich.”
God had made Abraham rich and He wasn’t
sharing that with anyone else. And God will
make us rich and He will see to it that we
can live debt free. That we can own homes
and vehicles without the burden of being the
borrower [the servant of the lender].
Jesus was made poverty so that we could be
made rich. We are living on the inside of the
most high God, the El Shaddi. So we are
walking in the blessing of the Lord!
God is not hindered by the world economy. He
is bigger than that. He is not hindered by any
situation here in the natural.
Receive and meditate on these words. Look up
the scriptures. Pray For revelation of His
blessings!
