So, you know that God wants you to be blessed and prosper, but now the question is, “How do I get there?”
The good news is that because God wants you to prosper in life, He has given the best financial advice in His Word. His advice has worked for the people of Israel, it has worked for many Christians who took God at His Word and applied it in their lives, and it will certainly work for you if you run your finances God’s way.
What are these principles?
The first principle that is age-old is sowing and reaping. This principle will stand for as long as the Earth remains (Genesis 8:22).
Actually, this principle extends towards every area of your life – whatever you sow your energy towards, that you will reap. In the context of finances, when you sow your finances with faith in your heart, then you will reap a harvest. If you sow much, then you will have a bountiful harvest (2 Corinthians 9:6).
How can you sow seed for finances?
You can sow financial seeds by giving offerings to your local church, partnering with ministries, giving donations to church projects, or simply by blessing the people around you with a gift or with finances in whatever way the Holy Spirit leads you. However, whenever you sow seed, if you want to have a harvest on that seed, you have to sow it with faith in your heart and expect your harvests to manifest. A farmer never plants a seed and then never expects it to grow. When he plants that seed, he gives it some fertilizer, water and will make sure that it is planted in a place where it will receive enough sunlight. So how do you do this with your seed? You speak words over it. You can say words such as, “Thank You, Father, that my harvests are hunting me down. Angels, in the Name of Jesus, I command you to bring in my harvests.” You can also be confident that you are sowing the right seed when you ask the Holy Spirit to lead you and guide you to know what to sow, when to sow it, and to whom you should give it.
Now all you need is patience, allowing the seed to grow in its fullness and then enjoy the harvest of your seed.
Another key principle that you apply to your life to live a blessed financial life is to tithe. Tithing is where you give 10% of your income to your local church, and when you do that in line with God’s Word, Malachi 3:10 says that God will then open up the windows of Heaven and pour out blessings for you so that you won’t even have enough room to receive all of it!
