Riches with no Sorrow


Proverbs 10: 22 "The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it... "

There are 2 kinds of wealth in the world. Wealth that comes from the LORD and wealth that is not from the LORD. A christian can have one of this wealth so can a non-christian. Yes, even non-believers can experience that kind of wealth. There are non-believers who are very wealthy and yet they enjoyed the fruit of their labours with great family life and friends. There are believers who have great wealth but they are always living in the fear of losing their wealth or being found out of something illegal they do.

It is in God's will for His children to live a life of prosperity, an abundant and rich life. A big part of it involves being financially healthy. How can His people enjoy the abundant life He has promised if they are scrapping from the bottom of the barrel?

Proverbs 8:18 "With me are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity..."

We have not because we ask not. God has declared that riches, honor, enduring wealth and prosperity are with Him. Imagine that, the wealth that God blesses you with is enduring. It means wealth that last for generations! It is not enough for God to just bless you only but He wants you to be able to leave a legacy for others.

The first step to experience that wealth is to believe. Dare to believe God. Anything is possible for a man who believes in God. With God all things are possible! Then pray and ask God. We have not because we asked not. Ask and it shall be given to you, seek and you shall find. Finally, plan and work hard for it, letting God direct each of your every steps.

"Father, we believe that You are the Giver of good gifts to Your Children and You want us to enjoy the abundant life not only in heaven but here on earth right now. Show us how we can have the life You promised... We commit all our life and finances into Your loving hands. In Jesus's Name Amen... "
