The 10 Steps For Wealth 02/17/2010
1) Don't love money above all things. If you're all consumed about money, if you worry about money all the time, that means that money is an idol to you. There is no need to worry when you have faith in God. 2) Work with a Spirit of Excellence. Work your job or Business with all of your might. God sees what you do, he sees your diligence, the extra hours, the motivation, he sees the heart that you're pouring into it, he sees & will bless the fruit of your hands. So don't worry because it doesn't matter what man/woman is above you, God will bless the fruit of your hands. 3) Know that the money that God blesses you with is for a much bigger purpose than just your stuff. Does that mean that God doesn't want to bless you with stuff? Of course not. But he doesn't want the "stuff" to own your life. 4) You have to know that it's God's money. It's not yours. It comes from him & there's a much bigger purpose for that money. He wants to multiply that money, but when you get it and you're stingy or all caught up in it, he will not bless you with more. Why? Because you're on a road to destruction. 5) Be generous. Don't hoard. Don't be stingy. God wants to bless you with more, but he won't unless you're a giver. A cheerful giver. Do you want God to trust you with more money? Then give willingly. Give graciously. Give with a cheerful heart. 6) Give into the right soil. In the Bible it talks about the Parable of the Sower. It talks about four different types of soil into which a farmer will sow. There's rocky soil. If you sow your seed on rocky soil, it sprouts quickly and it dies quickly. The second type of soil is hard ground. With hard ground, the birds come in & steal your seed away. The third soil is the thorny soil. This type of soil gets roots, but your seed eventually withers & dies. The fourth type of soil is fertile ground & this is the only soil where you want to plant your seed. The Bible says that on fertile ground there is a return of 30, 60 and 100 fold. Some of us are planting money in infertile soil. Have you noticed that your income hasn't increased? Maybe it has stayed the same. You have to think about where you're planting your seed. 7) You need to realize that there's a time of plenty and a preparation for a time of famine. Are you in a season of plenty? If you are, know that the season of plenty is not for you to eat all of your seed. That season of plenty is for preparation so that you may still prosper when other people are failing all around you financially. 8) You have to prosper where you're planted. Do you have dreams & visions of where you want to go and what you want to do? Are there places you'd like to visit? Have you gotten frustrated because your dreams haven't come to pass? This is a plan from the enemy, to get your focus on what you don't have instead of focusing on making yourself prosper right where you are. For example, this is how most people do it; "If my husband would act right then I'd treat him better. If my wife would stop nagging then I'd buy her flowers. When I have this big business, then I'll help others." It doesn't work that way. You have to prosper where you're planted under the current circumstance that you're in. 9) You need to ask & ask BIG. You need to think bigger than what you're thinking. You need to ask for help. The Bible says if you need wisdom ask for it. If there's something you don't know how to do, ask & he will give it to you. 10) You need to understand that it's ok to fail. It's ok to make mistakes. There are ups & downs. In the down time, don't worry, fret or freak out. Just know that you are fully taken care of, that God loves you. Why? Because God's word says that His grace far exceeds the Heavens. His grace is enormous. He is looking for an obedient heart that will fall into his arms instead of depending on their own. This is an excerpt from the book "Spirit Driven Success" by Dani Johnson.
