Christian wealth and prosperity

3 John 1:2
Mark 8:36-37
Ecclesiates 9:10
Proverbs 10:22
God's desire is for us to acquire wealth
When God gives us wealth, this comes with some conditions, principle and demands
God wants actually whatever he gives us to be used to enhance his Kingdom
God will give us wealth if we are obedience to other requirements in Christian lives e.g walking in Holiness, Righteousness,


Ways of acquiring wealth
Inheritance
Stealing (Matthew 19:18, Ephesians 4:28)
Working hard

How to acquire wealth in a Godly way
Inheritance (Be careful what we are inheriting)
Do not make money or wealth your ambitions 1 Timothy 6:9. make sure whatever you do Christ is Glorified
When you are getting wealth in a Godly way, make sure the virtual of patience is built in you.
It is dangerous as a christian to be involved in a business that God is not pleased so we should invest in the right places

Where is the place of God in the idea or the investment that i want to start?
Ensure that Christ is at the center of your business
Be a man of Faith and courage - Faith is the only hand that is received from God
Proverb 3:9 Honor the Lord with your wealth

The Heart of God is us prospering and causing an impact in the World
