Wealth Creation God’s Way<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I love the Gospels.\u00a0 I read them and re-read them and have been doing so for years.\u00a0 I love learning how Jesus interacted with the Father, His disciples, and everyone who came to Him.<\/p>\n

One thing I particularly enjoy is how Jesus spent three and a half years training His disciples to trust God for their provision.\u00a0 Having our needs met the kingdom way is very different from the earth-cursed system of hard labor\u2013painful toil by the sweat of our brow.\u00a0 Let me use a few examples to illustrate.<\/p>\n

In Luke chapter 5 Jesus was teaching from Simon Peter\u2019s fishing boat to a multitude of people who were listening on the shore. \u00a0When He had finished speaking He asked Simon to take his boat into the deep water and let down his nets for a catch. \u00a0Simon\u2019s response was awesome!\u00a0 He said, \u201cMaster, we have toiled all night long and caught nothing, but at your word I\u2019ll let down the nets.\u201d\u00a0 When they did this, they caught so many fish that Peter needed help from his partners James and John.\u00a0 They brought their boat and both boats were filled to the point that they began to sink!\u00a0 Now that\u2019s overflow; that\u2019s abundance!<\/p>\n

The earth-cursed way is to labor according to our own intellect and strength.\u00a0 The kingdom way is to obey God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 By obeying Jesus\u2019 instruction Peter and his partners reaped a huge blessing.<\/p>\n

In John 21 we see a similar situation.\u00a0 Peter and company were out fishing all night and again caught nothing!\u00a0 Suddenly the resurrected Jesus appears on shore and gives an instruction, \u201cCast your net on the right side of the boat.\u201d\u00a0 Again, their obedience paid off and they could barely haul in 153 large fish that they caught.\u00a0 \u00a0When they did it their way, they caught nothing.\u00a0 When they did it Jesus\u2019 way they were blessed beyond their imagination. \u00a0So, when we do business God\u2019s way, the provision may even be beyond what we are humanly capable of handling!\u00a0 God\u2019s way always brings abundance.<\/p>\n

Both times Peter could have ignored the Lord\u2019s word.\u00a0 He could have argued that he was a professional fisherman who did not need Jesus\u2019 help. But thankfully, he did not.\u00a0 Peter tapped into a valuable kingdom law.\u00a0 I call it The Law of Instruction.\u00a0 Today whenever we obey Jesus\u2019 instruction we will get the same results.\u00a0 To create wealth, we don\u2019t have to painfully toil; all we have to do is recognize the voice of the Lord and act on it.<\/p>\n

Peter and Company had a God-assignment to preach the gospel of the kingdom and continue the Lord\u2019s ministry on earth.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t have time to fish their way.\u00a0 They had to learn to fish God\u2019s way. When they did, they always had more than enough.<\/p>\n

Another example of creating wealth God\u2019s way is in Matthew 17.\u00a0 It is normal to pay your taxes, but when Peter needed to pay the temple tax, he secured the tax money in a less than normal way and a crazy one at that!\u00a0 Jesus told Peter to go fish and the first fish that he pulled up would have a coin in its mouth.\u00a0 This coin would be enough to pay his taxes as well as Jesus\u2019.<\/p>\n

In John chapter 6:4-12 great crowds followed Jesus and became hungry.\u00a0 Jesus asked His disciples how they would feed them.\u00a0 Their answer was according to the earth-cursed systems way of meeting the need, which was to work, work, work, get 200 day\u2019s-worth of wages and still not have enough!\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0How depressing!\u00a0 Jesus had a better way.\u00a0 He asked, \u201cWhat do you have?\u201d\u00a0 They answered 5 loaves of bread and two fish.\u00a0 \u00a0Jesus instructed the disciples to have the crowd sit down in groups of 50 and 100.\u00a0 They obeyed.\u00a0 Then Jesus took what they had, gave thanks to the Source and then distributed the bread and fish to the crowds.\u00a0 Everyone ate and was filled!\u00a0 Then Jesus spoke another word to His disciples, \u201cCollect the leftovers so nothing is wasted.\u201d\u00a0 Again, they obeyed and collected twelve baskets that were left over.\u00a0 The disciples had just witnessed the result of hearing God\u2019s Word and obeying it.\u00a0 They partnered with God to meet the needs of others.\u00a0 This demonstrated the way of the kingdom.\u00a0 Give all that you have to God and He will bless it and return it to you in abundance.<\/p>\n

Often when the Spirit directs us in a certain way or suggests something totally unfamiliar to us, it may sound silly or even crazy.\u00a0 But if we can remember that God\u2019s ways are not our ways and go along with that \u201cstill small voice\u201d we may end up being fully supplied as the disciples were.<\/p>\n

What is the secret?\u00a0 The secret is changing our allegiance.\u00a0 We have to shift our dependence from employers, government, banks and relatives to God Himself.\u00a0 We must establish Him in our hearts as our unique Source of supply.\u00a0 Deuteronomy 8:18 says, \u201cBut remember that the Lord your God gives you the power to gain wealth in order to confirm His covenant He swore to your fathers as it is today.\u201d\u00a0 God made the secret of gaining wealth His way known in this verse.\u00a0 Your ability to create wealth is an actual covenant between God and you!\u00a0 Jesus tapped into this covenant and that\u2019s how He got the results He did and that is how we will get the same results.<\/p>\n

We receive power in the form of ideas and concepts from God in order for us to create wealth, but money is not our goal.\u00a0 We are to become prosperous and have wealth to further His kingdom.\u00a0 \u00a0Money is our slave. \u00a0We are its’ master.\u00a0 As long as we live on this earth we will need money, not only to survive, but to thrive.\u00a0 God does not want us to focus on and be enslaved to making money.\u00a0 He desires that we have more than enough so that we can focus on our God-assignments.<\/p>\n

I believe that when we truly tap into God\u2019s way of wealth creation we will never have to be concerned about money again.\u00a0 Money will come to us from the north, south, east, and west.\u00a0 We will become money magnets.\u00a0 Money will fly to us.\u00a0 I believe this is so because money in the hands of a righteous man or woman will finance the greatest kingdom movement the earth has ever known.\u00a0 Do you want to take part in financing this move?\u00a0 The only way this is going to happen is to decide that God will be your only Source.\u00a0 We must learn to look to Him for everything.\u00a0 We must live a life tuned into the frequency of His voice and follow His instructions.\u00a0 Declare: \u201cGod is my only Source and no one or anything else will ever be.\u00a0 Money is not my master, it is my slave to serve me in God\u2019s kingdom work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Determine today that God is your Source.\u00a0 Then you will live long and prosper in all that you do. \u00a0Others will look at you and stand in awe of you.\u00a0 They will call you blessed\u2026for you are!<\/p>\n
