Many of us continue to ask God to bless us financially but, what are we doing with the finances? Are we shopping till we drop? Are we getting the newest purse, shoes, cars, rims? Why do we really want God to bless us financially? Is it because cash rules everything around us? Or has society told us that we’re nothing if we don’t have money? It’s nothing wrong with asking God to bless us financially, however, there is a responsibility that comes along with the blessing.
The bible says, to much is given much is required. God doesn’t bless us financially just for us. He intends for us to help somebody else. He intends for us to sow into the kingdom. He intends for us to pay our tithes and offering. He intends for us to be good stewards over everything he’s given us and not swindle it away. Now if you’re not paying your tithes and offering now, why should God bless you with more money? If you are being stingy with what you have now, why should God bless you with more? If you’re not being a good steward now, why should God bless you with more? What are your motives for wanting more?
Here’s a test. Many of us are going to get a tax refund. Is it already spent before it hits the bank? Do we have some big plans for it? Everybody is not going to pay their bills with it. Just like everybody is not going to give some back to God. Remember, everything you have is because of God and the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
I’m not telling you what to do with your money. I just want you to be conscious about how you spend it then go to God like he’s the ATM. That’s not being a good steward. And, just a little advice for the ladies; if you pay hundreds of dollars for a purse and can’t keep that same amount of money in that purse at all times, what sense is it to have the purse? And, fellas, if you pay a lot of money to style and profile with your clothes and your cars but can’t keep that much money in the bank, then why do it to impress other broke people?
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
