Wealth

MY TESTIMONY

Please read my testimony regarding The Land in section Healing of the Nations.

​

WISDOM

We can manage our money from foolishness or wisdom, but it can't be both.

The Word of God says that we should seek wisdom with all our heart like a hidden treasure for it is supreme above all things and is more valuable than rubies, silver or gold. For what it bestows on us is a crown of honor and wealth.

Why would we then not want wisdom if it is so valuable? The word says man does not want it, nor does he esteem it for anything of worth. The reason, wisdom is the difficult road; the road of discipline, reproof and correction. It is easier to strive after money than wisdom.

In the eyes of men, money has value.

But in the eyes of God, wisdom is supreme and He has hidden it from man so that man may search it out…..like a hidden treasure.

​

And if you look for wisdom as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.

Proverbs 2:4,5

​

But where can wisdom be found? Where does understanding dwell? No mortal comprehends its worth; it cannot be found in the land of the living. The deep says, “It is not in me;” the sea says, “It is not with me.” It cannot be bought with the finest gold, nor can its price be weighed out in silver. It cannot be bought with the gold of Ophir, with precious onyx or lapis lazuli. Neither gold nor crystal can compare with it, nor can it be had for jewels of gold. Coral and jasper are not worthy of mention; the price of wisdom is beyond rubies. The topaz of Cush cannot compare with it; it cannot be bought with pure gold. Where then does wisdom come from? Where does understanding dwell? It is hidden from the eyes of every living thing, concealed even from the birds in the sky. Destruction and Death say, “Only a rumor of it has reached our ears.” God understands the way to it and he alone knows where it dwells, then he looked at wisdom and

appraised it; he confirmed it and tested it. And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”

Job 28:12-23, 27-28

​

Wisdom is supreme, therefore, get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding. Proverbs 4:7

​

WISDOM - THE GOOSE WITH THE GOLDEN EGGS

Wisdom and money are like the goose with the golden eggs. Which is more valuable....the golden eggs or the goose that makes the eggs? We want the eggs, but God wants us to want the goose, the wisdom.

That’s why wisdom is more precious than rubies, silver or gold and the goose more valuable than the eggs.

​

​

JESUS IS WISDOM

​

Jesus is the wisdom of God. But what we really want is more money, not more of Jesus and not His wisdom. Do we want the idol or Jesus? One will be here today and gone tomorrow and the other ….ETERNAL.

Jesus is our wealth and our wisdom and He desires that we want more of Him and not more of money.

But sometimes the need is so big and right in our face that it is hard to want Jesus more than wealth. Help us Jesus to want you, your wisdom, and your Holy Spirit above all things.

Jesus is with the righteous and He is our wealth and our strength, peace and health. In His presence our needs are provided. Just like when He fed the 5,000. That’s why in Psalms 112 it says that wealth and riches are in the house of the righteous, because GOD’s presence is there. If this is what His Word says, believe it, praise Him and receive it by faith.

​

​

ENDURING WEALTH

​

Money is not the solution to our needs, Jesus is; HE is our enduring wealth, HE is our wisdom.

Wealth that comes from wisdom and not plundered by the enemy. Our foolishness makes our riches fly away on the wings of eagles, but wisdom makes its possessor have enduring wealth; wealth that is protected and guarded from thieves and bad decisions.

Just like the verse says in Proverbs, what good is wealth in the hands of a fool if he has no desire to get wisdom. Lasting wealth IS the result of wisdom.

​

When you glance at wealth, it disappears, for it makes wings for itself and flies like an eagle to the sky.

Proverbs 23:5

​

With me (wisdom) are riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.

Proverbs 8:18

​

THANKSGIVING AND PRAISE

Thanksgiving and praise open the door for His provision. Because Jesus carried every lack to the cross and His presence is with us. We receive His provision and wealth by faith in Jesus and His finished work.

For everything is His and that means everything is mine. Praise the LORD and thank you God for your great riches in Christ Jesus.

Jesus says, “I know your afflictions and your poverty – yet you are rich!

Revelation 2:9a

​

ALL GRACE ABOUNDS

and God is able to make all grace abounds to you so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

2 Corinthians 9:8

​

Praise Jesus for His grace, His Presence which surrounds us at all times. It is the KEY to our provision; the solution to our need. This unmerited favor He has bestowed on the righteous, is our inheritance. We have been given GRACE. Something we did not earn. It is Jesus, HE is our wealth and provision. Grace abounds beyond measure to the Believers.
