Affirmations of wealth seem to be what most people think of when they are searching for affirmations and when thinking of wealth they usually only see one thing and that is money. What I am about to say today goes against popular opinion because true wealth does not come from the pursuit of money.
The Bible says in Matthew 6:33 that we should seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
True wealth comes from not pursuing money but in the pursuit of God.
Psalm 112:1-3 says: Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
Ecclesiastes 5:19 says that if we have been given riches and wealth then it is a gift from God.
Ancient Israel demonstrated to us how blessing, happiness, provision and true wealth comes to us when we follow after God. Time and time again they were wonderfully provided for when they pursued God however they constantly turned away from God and pursued after the blessing. Instead of seeking him who was the blessor they chased after the blessing. Seek first God and he will provide I needs. Wealth simply means having that which is sufficient.
By many modern evangelist prosperity doctrine standards Jesus was a failure...
He never owned a big house, fancy car and he didn’t have a golf course in his backyard. In fact the Bible says the Son of man had no where to lay his head. Having money and a truck load of material goods is not true wealth. There is nothing wrong with having money and using the money as a good steward, it is the love of money that is wrong. Therefore pursuing it instead of God.
It is dumb to pursue money as the Bible says iin Proverbs 23:5 – Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
If you continue to chase after money you will never catch it. Whereas if you chase after God all of your needs will be met. The same goes for business, if you only concentrate on the money you will fail, whereas if you concentrate on how to provide a good service and you are genuinely interested in trying to improve the life of those you come in contact with by presenting a good quality product or service then the money will follow.
True affirmations of wealth come from seeking those things which are from above.
