Life can be a joyful thing when your living it the way it was designed for you. But it can also be a very depressing thing when you live life out of the way that God designed it for you.
We all need money to live that's survival 101. We all need food to eat to keep our bodies alive. God is well aware of this basic need and from the beginning has always made provision for us.
The problem is God has always given us the choice to live free and make decisions on how we are going to go about satisfying this need.
Proverbs 10:22 says:
The blessing of the Lord brings wealth and he adds no trouble with it!
The Good News Bible reads:
It is the Lord's Blessing that makes you wealthy, Hard work can make you no richer!
I am going to reveal to you right now the key to success and blessings. All success revoles around trust in the Lord and your ability to be Obedient to his commandments.
Deuteronomy 15:4 says:
However there should be no poor among you, for in the land the Lord your God is giving you to posses as your inheritance, he will richly bless you, If only you fully Obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all these commands I am giving you today.
God has promised time and time again to bless you. It's truly that simple, but you have to obey his Word. If you do not, you will fall under the curse of Adam.
Now the curse of Adam I am about to show you in scripture, so you will understand that your life could be, should be and would be better doing it God's way; instead of living by the world's system of making money.
Genesis 2:8 reads:
And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life is also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
So here we see God is doing all the work! He planted the garden, he caused the vegetation to grow that was good for food. Man has not done anything but show up until this point!
Genesis 2:19 reads:
And out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them; and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name there of.
What a GREAT JOB Adam had to work with God and speak and name things all day. You see anything you name you own, God was given Adam dominion of the earth. He did all the hard work and wanted us to sit back and benefit! What a God we serve.
Unfortunately that's not the end of the story, now is the part where you need to take a self survey. If you are not working in your field of purpose or your dream career it may have something to do with being disobedient to God.
God only wants the best life for you period but he will not tolerate any disobedient kids! He can not bless your mess. You will miss your blessing every time being hard headed.
Now we all know the story, after God told Adam not to eat the fruit he did it anyways! Here is the result of that. Also known as the Curse of Adam
Genesis 3:17 reads:
And unto Adam he said because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat of it. Cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
Genesis 3:19 reads:
By the sweat of your browyou will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and dust you will return.
So who are you listening to that is causing you to be disobedient to God! Cut them off immediately or suffer the consequences.
Here is an exert from "The Dispensational Truth"
So what had been a pleasure to Adam, the care of the Garden, was henceforth to be a task, for driven out from the garden he must make a living by tilling a soil that brought forth naturally nothing but thorns, thistles and weeds. "Clarence Larkin"
Let me put all of this into perspective for you. Life is simple, you have a God given purpose that with the faith of a mustard seed, you can become rich like Bill Gates or Opera Winfrey. How do I know? because God will do all the work. It will not be you. All God is waiting for is for you to see the idea he is giving you and go after it! He will then bring the increase or income.
Let me quote this passage one more time out of Proverbs 10:22
It is the Lord's blessing that makes you wealthy!!! Remember rich can be lost, happens all the time with lottery winners. Wealthy goes down to your kids and their kids and their kids! Hard work can make you no richer!
Two jobs is for two people! If your the best at your company but you have gone as high as you can maybe it's time to become the owner of your own company and not the employee.
If you get sick just thinking about going to work maybe your not suppose to be there. God placed Adam in the garden, did he place you in that job or did you settle for it?
Do you make enough money at your job to be a blessing to others if needed? If your child needed an expensive surgery would money be the factor between life and death?
You effect way more than just yourself by not finding your purpose and receiving your blessing! Now that's the mind blowing part of this whole discussion. God does all the WORKand he makes you wealthy! He just needs you to know who you are and believe and be obedient to his Word. You have to position yourself to be blessed.
Quick story, I once walked away from a $75,000 a year job because after 4 years of excellence, they were ready to demote me after 1 bad month! I don't do demotions.
Oh yea on average I was making this company $115,000 a month at the age of 27 thanks for the 75k they were so giving.
Then I was recruited to manage a finance company as a partner from the ground floor. I grew this company quickly to a profitable level in under a year and a half with no problems. Then with the recession the collection numbers went south and they started looking for something to fire me over.
By this time I was already looking for ways to build my own dreams and goals and I walked away from a $40,000 a year situation where I also had 24% ownership. The thing with me is I knew I was building someone else's dream and they showed me that when times got tough because they were ready to replace me. I remember thinking to myself this time I have real job security, joke on me.
Now I could have let them fire me and collected unemployment but I have a high faith level so I just started working on building my own business and I believed God would provide.
Now it was tough, I lost my house, 3 cars, a four wheeler and my good credit! But I didn't go hungry one day! I didn't even have my phone turned off one time and I'm with Sprint, now that's God.
So what am I doing today? I have two online businesses that are growing as I type this. 8 income streams from ideas I wrote down while I was working another dead in job. Finally everyday I build my own future and I have not been broke one day in 2010. I have the freedom to go where I want and spend time with my family and I do not have to beg anyone to take the vacation time I earned with diligent attendance practices.
The best part is I really make money without lifting a finger because I have found out God is my source of income! I use to tell my employees work smarter not harder, I had no idea that meant be obedient to God and follow your dreams so you don't have to work at all by sweating!
That's the curse of Adam, but the gift of Jesus is abundant life!
The choice is yours, don't be afraid to start that business with no money God does the work and provides the investment. Don't be afraid to take that risk, God is the source. If you obey God you have nothing to fear. But if your still living your life the way you want scratch every thing I just said this is not for you, don't quit your job please.
I want to finish this up with a quote from the book "The Laws of Thinking"
Prophets don't sweat. Making a living with the sweat of your brow is the curse of Adam. Young people are supposed to sweat and work because they are learning. But when you're older and you come fully into your awareness of Spirit and how God operates in this world, you should be using the power of your mind to make money.
Inspiration, Ideas, Vision and Spirit will make you wealthy. The work of your body will only make sweat and make you poor. Idea's create wealth; slavery destroys health. "Bishop E. Bernard Jordan"
The choice is yours! Today I set before you life and death, a curse and a blessing so choose LIFE!
