Bible Texts: 1Cor.3:1-3, 2Cor.9:7, Lk.6:48, Mal.3:10-14, Heb.13:8, Ps.1:1-4, Ps.23:1, 3Jn.1:2, Hag.1:17, Is.1:19, Pro.10:22, 2Cor.9:6-11
Praise be to Jesus Christ our Lord! We are in the third day of the series on learning how and why God wants to prosper the good and godly husbandman. I pray in the Name of Jesus that the reality of God’s abundant life will be real to you. Amen.
Another way God prospers you when you give is through the release of divine ideas. God inspires you with innovation and creativity in your chosen endeavours and pursuit to the end that you succeed.
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 be room enough to receive it (Mal.3:10)
The Scripture in Malachi chapter 3 and verse 10 says that God will open to you the windows of heaven. This is talking about rain of ideas. As the good and godly husbandman who is a cheerful giver, you need creative ability to know what to do, how to do what you do and when to do it. And the Person of the Holy Spirit can teach you the secrets that you require to succeed in your career, business and endeavour (Jn.14:26). When Jesus was faced with the challenge of feeding 5,000 men with limited resources-two fishes and five loaves of bread- He deployed His creative ability and the power of the mind of God at work in Him to multiply the meal. And that meal was enough for everyone and the people were satisfied, with extra 12 baskets.
Now that you have known how God will bless you financially, you need to also know why He wants to make you rich. The word of God provides the answers.
But if any provide not for his own and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel (1Tim5:8)
God blesses you because He wants you to fulfill your covenant obligations to your wife and children. He wants you to provide for their needs-education, food, shelter, clothing and so much more. You are responsible to your wife and children. You are their custodian and shepherd. You owe them the honour of providing for them, not as a privilege but as a covenant responsibility.
The second reason why God blesses you, financially, is for you to become a blessing to the world.
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee and make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing (Gen.12:1-3)
God wants you to be a channel of financial blessing to either your biological or adopted parents, the needy around you, and supporting the weak and vulnerable. God is not blessing you to be selfish. He wants you to be the pipe that gives smiles, joy and laughter to others in and around your community (Matt.5:14). God wants you to be a trans-generational agent of blessing after the order of Abraham (Gen.12:1-3).
God’s ultimate plan for you as the good and godly husbandman is to bless you and make you a blessing to others. Walk in this understanding and experience the reality of God’s abundant life, financial and material blessings as you journey through the remaining days of 2023 and beyond.
Jesus Christ is Lord over all, including your finances.
