Kingdom Secrets! 11

When it comes to your relationship with
Jesus, The Father and the Holy Spirit never let any thought or circumstance
tell you that they are either upset with you, don’t care about you, or are
guilty of the evil you find yourself surrounded by.

They love you with every fibre of their
being and want and need you to know that. Your faith, which is more precious
than gold, operates when it is formed and fashioned within their love for you.
Nothing will destroy your faith quicker than the thoughts that tell you God is
somehow responsible for your situation. If you allow these thoughts to persist
in your heart and mind you will struggle in your relationship with Him and your
faith life.

Please make a decision to settle this in
your heart and mind once and for all. God loves you, He is with you in
everything and is always on your side. When you approach life from this
perspective it becomes very difficult for the devil to trip you up. Also,
remember God is always patient and kind towards you. He is an instructor and
desires to teach and train you in His ways so that you can sit with Him on His
throne and rule over the affairs of this life.

You are privileged and honoured and
favoured by Him. You are His child and He is in all things training you for the
age that is to come. This world will come to an end but all the things you
chose to endure with Him in a loving relationship will carry rewards that will
never stop producing. His desire is for you to manifest heaven on earth, and
one of these is called financial wealth. Unless, of course you have chosen not
to prosper financially as an act of obedience to Him. This is not something He
calls most of us too, so unless He has spoken to you personally and
specifically about this then it is not for you.

Back to our parable with the farmer and how
Satan uses the deceitfulness of wealth to destroy your faith. Remember, Satan
hates you having money but more than that he hates you having faith towards God
and in God. Therefore, he uses the worldly system of financial status and
wealth to lure you into his ways so that he can nullify your faith. If he
cannot beat you up through poverty, he will use the opposite, which is an
abundance of money.

As we said before, money in and of itself is NOT evil. The evil connected to wealth is what lies in the secret place of a person’s heart. An abundance or lack of money has nothing to do with being blessed! I have met people that I consider poor financially who are happy and love the Lord. I know people that have an abundance of money that are happy and love the Lord. It is not the circumstance but the condition of the heart that is at play here. The same is true in the reverse. I have met both poor and rich people who have no desire for God and His kingdom and are desperately unhappy, greedy and often angry.

It is your own personal thoughts and belief
concerning money that determines whether you are “rich” or “poor” in God’s
sight. God knows what is going on inside you, people around you don’t and
therefore they are in no position to judge you. It is the condemnatory judgements
of the world, what they say is and is not acceptable, that Satan uses to get to
your faith. If he can get you to chase after the things this world says is
“cool,” “powerful,” “socially acceptable,” etc., then he will gain access to your
faith and choke it.

Consider the following statement made by
the Lord,

James
2:5 Listen, my beloved brethren: Has not God chosen those
who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and in their position
as believers and to inherit the kingdom which He has promised to those who love
Him?

One of the
biggest and most detrimental things I have seen in the church is the idea that
financial wealth and status is considered the “blessing” of God, which leaves
those who do not have the same abundance and struggle financially as being
cursed by God. This is not true. You can have an abundance of money and not be
rich in faith. In fact, the poor generally have more faith in God to heal them,
to deliver them or to protect them than those who have money to depend on.
Please do not get me wrong, each of us needs to learn to rule money and know
how to operate it within the kingdom of heaven, and come into an abundance so
that we will be able to take care of the needs of others while they are being
discipled.

What is your
opinion and belief system concerning financial wealth like? Do you think that
money has greater value than faith? What is your “faith” position like? How has
your belief structure where money is concerned affected your life and your
relationship with Jesus? These are important questions that you need to examine
for yourself, deep within your own heart and soul. 😊

Be encouraged
and know that God’s plan is far greater than anything you have yet imagined and
when you are willing to yield to Him, which means being content and loving
towards Him in any and every circumstance, your faith will grow and bring you
an abundant harvest in all that the LORD considers wealth and riches.

I will share
some testimonies with you in the next blogs to better explain some of what I am
saying.

Be happy! 😊
