Is man or God your source of income? And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 AMP.
I remember a sudden thought of fear when the first set of bills (that my ex-husband usually took care of) came in. At the time I was 5 months pregnant, working two jobs, caring for my 88-year-old mother and living in a small apartment that I had to move out from as soon as possible. My boss’ wife generously let me borrow her car because the one I owned needed a new engine. With less than $5,000 in the bank, I had no idea how I would make ends meet, not to mention where I would live or what I would drive. One day while driving around the neighborhood looking for a place to rent and out of the blue I said, “I will not pay $1200 per month to rent someone’s remodeled garage!”
I read in the Bible that morning, 2 Timothy 1:7, For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. So if God hadn’t given me a spirit of fear, it must have come from Satan and I new I didn’t want it. So I stood on God’s Word and confessed it out of my mouth even though it looked like nothing was happening.
One very important thing I learned was to keep tithing. (Tithing is giving the first 10 percent of the gross of your income to a ministry that is feeding your faith and saving souls.) I didn’t know it at the time but those consistent financial seeds were my protection and provision money for my future.
Now a few short years later, as I continue to honor God by obeying His Word to tithe, He keeps opening the windows of Heaven and pouring me out blessings every day.
Now a few short years later, as I continue to honor God by obeying His Word to tithe, He keeps opening the windows of Heaven and pouring me out blessings every day.
Remember, God has a million ways to get a million dollars into your hands- you only need one! By the way, not long after that, I purchased a beautiful home that doubled in value in a few short years later!
Meditate on: Proverbs 8:10, Malachi 3:10-12, Phillipians 4:19, 1 Timothy 6:17-18
Confession For Today: I will not have fear about my future or the future of my children because God promises in His Word to take care of us. I will give of my time, talent and money because God is my source, not man. I will have more than enough to meet my needs because God is my provider. I will not buy things I don’t need. I will stay out of debt. I will stop speaking about my problems and speak to my problems with God’s Word. God loves me and He promises in His Word to take care of me and I believe Him.
Prayer For Today: Heavenly Father, please help me to walk by faith and not by sight today. Give me ideas and witty inventions to bring in several streams of income even when I sleep. When the blessings pour in, remind me to tell everyone about your goodness.
In Jesus name Amen.
Take Action: Consistently tithe and give offerings to God starting NOW.
Many Blessings to you in 2009!
