Money Moves

To prosper financially you must keep your money moving in the right direction. Your money must continually circulate and flow like a river.

Stagnant water cannot sustain life. Stagnant money clogs the flow of blessings. According to God’s Word, He has given His people the power to get wealth, for the purpose of establishing His covenant in the earth. (Deut 8:18) Keep your money moving in the heavenly flow by obeying God’s commands. Master your money. When you understand Heaven’s financial system, you can prosper.

Heaven’s banking system resembles the world’s banking system but it is better and far more secure. If you were to open up a passbook savings account with $100 and the terms of the account stated that in twelve months you would have earned 3% (three dollars), no one would question whether that was possible. We have experienced it in the natural realm. Many of us don’t really understand how the bank can receive a set amount of money and cause it to increase. But we believe it.

Well, God has made an even better promise and most people won’t even believe Him! Read Malachi 3:10 which states “ Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes…..” (Mal. 3:10,11) What a fantastic promise!

In the spiritual realm money moves in the right direction when you give according to the instructions of the Lord . First, God has commanded that the tithe (10%) be given to Him through a local church which is teaching the truth of God’s Word. The tithe should then be supplemented by giving an offering to a church or ministry. For example, one dollar out of ten should be donated as the tithe and then an offering on top of that. The Lord will instruct you regarding how much to give for the offering if you are willing to be led by Him.

In the book of Luke, Jesus says “ Give and it shall be given unto you: good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. (Luke 6:38)

The Apostle Paul wrote to the church at Corinth saying “…He who soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” (2 Cor. 9:6) In other words, give a little and you will get a little. Give generously and you can expect to receive a generous amount of blessings—both tangible and spiritual.

Simple principles. Basic commands. Why, then, do so many people find it so hard to activate the flow of financial prosperity? One reason is lack of knowledge. Another reason is fear—what will happen if this doesn’t really work? Other reasons include selfishness and rebellion.

Financial challenges can only be overcome by using God’s Word and obeying God’s commands. Otherwise continual stress and worry will wear you down into depression. Make a commitment to tithe, give offerings and speak only the Word over your finances. Tear down fear and other barriers on a daily basis through prayer and speaking positive, life-giving Words. The Bible says that a cheerful giver is special to God (2 Cor. 9:7)

Trust the Master with your money instead of letting your money master you.
