God Giveth Me Wealth and Health*
FIRST It has been looked upon to be "unspiritual" to have wealth.
And even the gift of health from God is generally pictured
as not likely to be obtained.
SECOND The word "wealth" means resources, competence to
meet our obligations. God doesn't promise to make us
millionaires. But He does provide for our every need
(Ph. 4:19) and assures‑our prosperity and good
success if we live by His Word(Josh. 1:8). Delight in
the Word of God, meditate in it and God says,
"WHATSOEVER YOU DO SHALL PROSPER” Ps.1:1‑3.
THIRD Jesus said, "Seek ye first the
His righteousness, and all these things shall be added
unto you" Mt. 6:33. Jesus was here speaking about
our material provisions (food, raiment, shelter).
Jesus did not say that if we seek first the kingdom of
God, all these things will be taken away from you.
No, He said ALL THESE THINGS‑ our material
provisions‑shall be added unto us!
FOURTH The Bible says, "It is God who giveth thee the power
to get wealth" Deut. 8:18. And it is Satan's business to
impoverish our lives, to ruin our Christian effective-
ness in paying our obligations. Satan seeks to bring
us to embarassment in financial matters. Agree with
God, disagree with the devil!
FIFTH God says, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou
mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul
prospereth" 3 Jn. 2. This is God's "big wish" for us,
His children, that we may prosper and be in health,
even as our souls prosper! How do we prosper in our
souls? (1) By Spirit‑led prayer, and a positive praise
life; (2) By studying God's Word and confessing the
scriptures boldly; (3) By witnessing with our lives
and lips of Christ to others.
SIXTH When so many of God's people are afflicted and
poverty‑stricken, and the work of God is reduced to
a standstill in some quarters because of lack of
finances it's high time we affirmed these scriptures
quoted here, to receive the benefit of God's gifts of
wealth and health.
SEVENTH Daily speak it boldly: GOD GIVETH ME WEALTH
AND HEALTH!
