God wishes that we PROSPER that is to mean that we should enjoy our life and be happy. Happiness of the quality of God. We were created for happiness and joy; we were designed to share in God’s own blessedness. One of the ways to live and enjoy life to its fullness is to KNOW how we manage our finances. Money in itself is not the riches but handling those finances as faithful stewards will lead us to having TRUE RICHES. When it comes to money, everyone will pass the money test which is in reality a test of inner motives. God rewards faithfulness in handling what has been handed over to us. He is expecting us to joyfully and faithfully steward every revenue in our hands regardless of what we earn.
The only reference that Jesus Christ gives as a perfect giving is that of the poor widow who gave two small copper coins out her living, that is to mean that she gave from what she needed the MOST. In her giving, she showed her complete dependency on God. He rewards us by giving us true riches which we cannot buy and which cannot diminish. He gives us favor with men, ideas, revelations, relations. He places us in His will where enjoyment (His peace) is found and wherein there is nothing missing, nothing lacking because we've learnt to enjoy every single moment to its FULLNESS. With this accurate understanding on money (the least of things), we learn consistency and faithfulness in true riches which cannot be bought, the things that matter to Him the most, His people. Our MIND is now steady, stable, untainted by externalities. As our soul prospers; as our attitude towards authority and towards giving is adjusted so will we be enjoying every good thing, the best of the land.
In this final episode of this series, Dr Annie Smith teaches us about true riches which we enjoy once we learn to see Him as our SOURCE. As you open up our heart to this teaching, may the attitude of our soul be transformed, may you receive soundness of minds and consistence in service. May we commit ourselves to knowing God and to focusing on the things which are valuable to Him. He is the only one who gives all things to enjoy without us getting sick, tired or discouraged in the process.
