That's right! God does want you to have more. He wants you to live the abundant life. And he wants you to NOT limit Him in what He can do for YOU.
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..." [Ephesians 3:20]
Will God
provide?
In 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 we read about Jabez who cried out to
God and asked,
"Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain. And God granted his request.
What keeps most
people from achieving their greatest dreams?
FEAR is what keeps
most people paralyzed and ineffective. Fear of the unknown; Fear of moving
outside their comfort zone; Fear of failure; and yes even Fear of Success.
"For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship." [Romans 8:15]
"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." [1 John 4:18]
When you understand what fear is, you can break its power.
FEAR: False Expectations Appearing Real
Is It Gods
Will To Be Wealthy?

Why are there people who seem to attract unlimited wealth into
their lives, while others, equally as capable or talented or worthy, suffer
from poverty and lack?
Attracting wealth has nothing to do with
education, status, talent, environment, intellectual ability, physical prowess,
or geography. ANYONE, regardless of their background or circumstances, can
attract wealth into their lives.
For many years I separated wealth
from the Christian lifestyle. Somehow I thought that living a godly
life meant living a life without material wealth. It wasnt until someone
showed me in the Bible that it was the will of God for ALL of his children to
be prosperous and healthy. There is nothing in the Bible that says we must live
in poverty to be right with God. We are right with God because of the finished
works of Jesus Christ.
In the Bible in John 10: 10, Jesus says,
I am come that you might have life and that you might have it MORE than
abundant. If Jesus spoke the truth then this life must be available for
all those who are willing to believe it.
The Science Of Getting Rich By Wallace D. Wattles Published in 1910
has changed the lives of many people. The following is taken from chapter 1 of
this timeless masterpiece.
WHATEVER may be said in praise of
poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or
successful life unless one is rich. No man can rise to his greatest possible
height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to
unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he
cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with.
Man's
right to life means his right to have the free and unrestricted use of all the
things which may be necessary to his fullest mental, spiritual, and physical
unfoldment; or, in other words, his right to be rich. No man ought to be
satisfied with a little if he is capable of using and enjoying more. The
purpose of Nature is the advancement and unfoldment of life; and every man
should have all that can contribute to the power; elegance, beauty, and
richness of life; to be content with less is sinful.
There is nothing
wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a
richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise worthy. The
man who does not desire to live more abundantly is abnormal, and so the man who
does not desire to have money enough to buy all he wants is abnormal.
There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for
the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the
other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three -- body, mind, or soul
-- can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and
expression. It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or
body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or soul.
Man cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, and warm
shelter; and without freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation are also
necessary to his physical life. He cannot live fully in mind without books and
time to study them, without opportunity for travel and observation, or without
intellectual companionship.
To live fully in mind he must have
intellectual recreations, and must surround himself with all the objects of art
and beauty he is capable of using and appreciating. To live fully in soul, man
must have love; and love is denied expression by poverty.
A man's
highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those he loves; love
finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving. The man who has
nothing to give cannot fill his place as a husband or father, as a citizen, or
as a man. It is in the use of material things that a man finds full life for
his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It is therefore of supreme
importance to him that he should be rich.
It is perfectly right that
you should desire to be rich; if you are a normal man or woman you cannot help
doing so. It is perfectly right that you should give your best attention to the
Science of Getting Rich, for it is the noblest and most necessary of all
studies. If you neglect this study, you are derelict in your duty to yourself,
to God and humanity; for you can render to God and humanity no greater service
than to make the most of yourself.
