\"\"There was a time in my life when I labored and toiled just to get by, but never had more than enough.\u00a0 I worked, got into debt, and worked harder and longer to manage that debt so I could live the \u201cAmerican dream.\u201d\u00a0 Well, the so-called American dream is, in reality, a nightmare!\u00a0 Trying to catch up and keep up was painful at best.<\/p>\n

Many marriages suffer and are destroyed because of the lack of money.\u00a0 Lack of wealth puts strain and stress on all areas of life, including one\u2019s health.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because money IS important. Money is how we obtain things.\u00a0 We exchange our time for money and use money as a barter tool to obtain things that need, want, and desire.\u00a0 There is nothing wrong or evil about money.\u00a0 Money is good and can be used for many good and noble things.\u00a0 It\u2019s contingent on the person who possesses the wealth.\u00a0 Those who think money is evil are hypocrites for they themselves could not survive without it!\u00a0 From experience, I can tell you that where money is in short supply, occupation with the lack of it is overwhelming.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the secret?\u00a0 How can we create and possess all the wealth we need to not just survive, but thrive?\u00a0 How can we get to the place where money doesn\u2019t decide every decision we make?<\/p>\n

God has a plan.\u00a0 His plan is very simple, yet few discover it.\u00a0 The Bible says, \u201cThe blessing of the Lord enriches, and struggle adds noting to it.\u201d\u00a0 (Proverbs 10:22 HCSB).\u00a0 It also says, \u201cRemember the LORD or God, for it is He who give you the power to create wealth.\u201d (Deuteronomy 8:18).\u00a0 The way to true riches is by God\u2019s method of blessing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

How does one obtain favor or blessing from the Lord?\u00a0 God has established kingdom laws, that if followed, will bless and keep blessing the one who takes advantage of them.\u00a0 One law is that we must work or produce.\u00a0 The Bible says over and over that God will \u201cbless the work of our hands.\u201d\u00a0 However, work must be coupled with one important realization, and that is\u2014acknowledging God in all we do.\u00a0 Remember Him as the One who gives power to create wealth.\u00a0 This distinction made all the difference in my financial life.\u00a0 God had to get me to the place where I trusted Him to provide me with the power to create wealth.\u00a0 I had to stop relying on my own understand and start acknowledging Him in all my ways (Proverbs 3:5-6).\u00a0 This may sound simple, but it\u2019s not.\u00a0 We live in a world that promotes independence from God.\u00a0 It\u2019s engrained into every fiber of our being.\u00a0 Not only that, we attend churches and are under ministries that don\u2019t teach dependence on God.\u00a0 Ask a pastor what to do when you get sick.\u00a0 The first thing out of his mouth will be, \u201cDid you go to the doctor?\u201d Ask him about a financial need and he or she will either give you some money or suggest to you some government program you can tap into.\u00a0 Few will make God the FIRST option.\u00a0 As the sad saying goes, \u201cWhen all else fails, pray!\u201d\u00a0 Really?<\/p>\n

Once I realized the error of my ways, it took me a couple of years to break out of my independence for making money.\u00a0 The first thing you must do to obtain power to create wealth is become dependent on God alone.\u00a0 He is your source, not you employer, the government, credit card companies, your relatives, or the lottery.\u00a0 When you work, HE blesses the work of your hands by giving you the power to create wealth.\u00a0 When you are in partnership with Him, He gives you ideas, concepts, strategies, or inventions that will produce all the wealth that you desire.<\/p>\n

The second thing I learned is that if I really trust God as my source I must tithe.\u00a0 This is not a suggestion, this is a law that should be adhered to.\u00a0 You must learn to take one tenth of your full income (before taxes) and offer it!\u00a0 This gives God LEGAL jurisdiction to bless and protect the other 90%.\u00a0 Tithing is a trust thing.\u00a0 It is a heart issue.\u00a0 It\u2019s saying, \u201cGod, you blessed me to create 100% of what I have, now I give you 10% in thanksgiving for what You have done.\u201d\u00a0 God\u2019s response is to open the floodgates of heaven, to bless you, and to rebuke anything that will drain your finances.\u00a0 God Himself <\/em>will protect your wealth.\u00a0 Let me ask you, who would you rather have to protect your wealth, a bank or God?<\/p>\n

Finally, I learned that money is a seed.\u00a0 Seeds multiply; that is their nature.\u00a0 If I treat money as a seed it will produce more in harvest (return) than what was sowed (given).\u00a0 Therefore, my wife and I regularly give beyond the tithe.\u00a0 We give fearlessly because we have seen the law of seedtime and harvest works 100% of the time, every time.\u00a0 When we sow money into God\u2019s kingdom we expect<\/em> a return, a minimum of 10-fold.\u00a0 We are learning to believe for much more.\u00a0 Isaac received 100 times more than he sowed.\u00a0 The Bible says that God blessed his sowing and Isaac become rich and kept getting richer until he was very wealthy (Genesis 27:12-13).<\/p>\n

So, in summary to gain wealth, true wealth, that doesn\u2019t require painful toil and hard labor we must:<\/p>\n
