God has given directions about our finances, but we haven't been paying attention and have been laying there paralyzed. God is not against His people having money. He has never been against it in spite of what you may have heard many preachers say. He is against money having them and ruling their lives. Remember this. Money is a great servant, but it is a horrible master.
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” —Matthew 6:33
You are to be seeking first the kingdom of God and then God promises that all these “things” will be added unto you. What things?
“Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.”—Matthew 6:31-32
He is talking about food, drink, clothing, and all the other things the Gentiles are seeking. He has promised to take care of you as long as you put His kingdom first place in your life. The Bible is full of examples we can go to and show God's will for our lives and the wealth He desires to provide for us. He doesn't desire to just give us enough to get barely by. He desires to take abundant care of us if we let Him.
God often used the name of El Shaddai for Himself…”The God Who Is More Than Enough” throughout the Old Testament. He is the God of MORE than enough. He is the God of Too Much. He never called himself “El Cheapo” or “The God of Barely Getting By.”
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”
Ephesians 3:20
God says He can do more than you can even think. So you can't outthink God for your life. God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we can ask or even think. And if you're like me, you can think about a lot! His plan for you is already bigger than you can imagine. It is bigger than you can conceive of right now.
