Topic: Wealth
Text: Deuteronomy 28:11-14

For quite some time now, I have been addressing the subject of prosperity. I have chosen to teach God’s people on the importance of possessing the riches of Christ because I know that poverty does not glorify God. If God is the owner of heaven and earth, why must His children live as beggars and paupers? God has not destined you to be poor. The Bible even tells us that Jesus became poor in order to make us rich. Therefore, you must rise up and possess what God has graciously provided for your benefit. However, you must know the pre-requisites for possessing prosperity and wealth. In Proverbs 10:4 the Bible says: “He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand, but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.” Those who would work hard would become rich. The lazy ones would stay poor. Proverbs 12:24 says “The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.” If you are diligent you will become a ruler because you will become rich and rule over the poor. This is why God says we would always find the diligent person among kings, and not among labourers. Proverbs 22:29 say, “Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.” Rich men flock together. This will also be the case in Heaven. When we get to Heaven, we will find everything graded - the Trinity, the four living beings, the twenty-four elders, the archangels, those in the court of God, until you come to the others, Deuteronomy28:12-13 has some promises: “The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give thee rain unto they landing his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them,” Can a poor man lend to nations? Christians must become rich. When we become rich, we will be able to help the Government and so tell them what we want. We have to be rich.
