“The
blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich.” Pr 10:22
INSTRUMENT
RATED (10)
Instrument
rated for finances. Just when you get ahead a little bit,
your car breaks down, your house needs a new roof, and your furnace gives up
the ghost. We all experience it. But the instrument-rated believer can fly
through financial storms because he has absolute confidence in his gauges and
radio. If he looks at them and doubts their accuracy, he’s in serious
difficulty. This must all be settled on the ground while he is going through
the checklist. He must not take off into the storm if all is not in good order.
When it comes to money matters, check your craft. Do you know what the Bible
really says about your finances? To fly through or above a financial storm, you
must practice biblical stewardship, know what God has promised to you, and
stand on it in faith. “Give, and it shall be given unto you” (Lk 6:38). Giving
is an act of obedience. It honors God. But there are some things God will not
do. He will not be generous with you if you have been stingy with Him or
others. The Bible says, “The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich.” You ask,
“How rich does God want me to be?” That depends on four things: your spiritual
maturity, your God-given assignment in life, your willingness to put God in
first place when it comes to finances, and exercising your faith. Giving is
like sowing (See 2Co 9:6). When a seed is sown it produces a harvest. But the
farmer has to go and get that harvest. Similarly, faith, plus obedience, draws
the harvest of God’s blessing into your life.
