Financial Wealth

Proverbs 13:22 (KJV) - A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children’s children: and the wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just.

Job 36:11 (NIV) - If they obey and serve Him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.

The above scriptures and many others throughout the Bible make it abundantly clear that God wants you to have wealth and financial blessings. In order for you to leave an inheritance to your grandchildren, you must have a financial portfolio.

God fully intends for you to be blessed financially, to be a blessing to your family, and to have enough left over to give to those in need. He goes on to tell you that the wealth of sinners is laid up and set aside for you who are just.

When you obey and serve Him, your days will be filled with rest, prosperity, and contentment and He will bring you to your wealthy place. He gives seed to the sower so you can sow into the lives of people who are experiencing financial difficulties. He said, “He who is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward him for what he has done” (Prov. 19:17).

You must have something to give to the poor in order that they might be sustained. If you do not understand that God desires to bless you with financial wealth, then you are missing out on one of the great promises of the Bible. When you plant seeds into the life of others, you experience the fullness of the rewards and blessings that have been reserved with your name on them.

Please ponder and meditate on this:

How willing am I to give to those in need?
