I
grew up in India surrounded by utter poverty. Everyone I knew was living just
to survive another day. When I became a follower of Christ, I heard money was
evil and we must shun from it. You can imagine my distorted view of financial
prosperity!
Fortunately,
I learnt the Biblical view on money. Money is a neutral tool. We can use it to
bless our families and advance God’s Kingdom on earth or misuse it and destroy
God’s purpose for our lives. One thing I know for sure, you cannot have a
poverty mindset and experience God’s abundance. You may be in dire poverty
right now but never let poverty get in you. You must believe money is a good
thing.
God
wants you to prosper so that you can be a blessing to others. In our world
system, money is power and influence. Jesus said, “It is your Father’s good
pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32 NKJV). Do you really think God
has a problem when you ask Him for your needs to be met? Do you think God has a
problem if you ask for a few thousands extra every month so that you can help
someone else? The answer is a resounding no. God wants to give to you so that
He can get it through you.
Why
don’t you raise the bar and start praying, asking, working hard and expecting
God to make you wealthy so that you can become a blessing to the world? Have an
abundance mindset!
