*Having a financial confidence and comfort in Christ*
*Text:* I am able to do all things through the one who strengthens me.
Philippians 4:13 NET
For I am sure of this very thing, that the one who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 1:6 NET
Lord eternal thank you for another wonderful privilege to share your word and to exhort ourselves in what remains the truth from ages to ages you deserve all the praise Jesus.
Glory be to God Hallelujah...
Finance is a sensitive topic many would rather not talk about it especially if you're in debt. It's something many hold with much regards and esteem so to say.
As a believer, a child of God, He wants us to have financial confidence in Him.
You may wonder how, is it after I had paid my tithe, first fruit, pledge, view whatever it is. God isn't scared about whatever financial need that arise or will arise in the life of His children.
Philippians 4:13 says I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me. The strength to get any blessing in life is from Christ. He is our main source at all times and except you acknowledge that, you may feel like it's just down to all your hard work and input.
There are lots of people who have put and still put same work into things and yet have nothing to show for it.
Philippians 1:6 says I am confidence of this that He who began a good work in me is able to complete it.
Okay wait up there✋🏽....
God began a good work in us from the beginning of creation, it is daily fine tuned since we gave our lives to Him through the divine empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
Let's break this down, do you know your life go in the direction of your thoughts?
Many believers have the mentality that to make heaven or to be a true believer they must live in poverty because it is a sign of humility.
Wake up, The word of God says He wants us to prosper even as our soul prospers.
Dear friend, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, just as it is well with your soul.
3 John 1:2 NET
How can your soul prosper if the hard drive of your mind is corrupted with wrong way of thinking.
You may say well I do not even have enough how can I think prosperous?
Who [with reason] despises the day of small things (beginnings)? For these seven [eyes] shall rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the Lord which roam throughout the earth.”
Zechariah 4:10 AMP
It's important that you live and think from the abundance of Christ inside of you.
Having financial confidence can help you depend on God and He makes way for you to pay that debt.
Don't be a believer that rejoice in living in constant debt, always seek God for ways to get out of it and be established and be debt free.
You may say that is impossible, let me tell you with God nothing is impossible.
Perhaps you are thinking okay! how do I start.
And the Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” And he said, “A staff.”
Exodus 4:2 AMP
Here Moses was unsure how he would accomplish all that God called him to, how will I lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
God said what is in your hands, a staff...
Go and read the book of Exodus and the account of what God used that staff to do through Moses.
My question to you and I is what is in our hands?
Many will say I have no skills..... No no no...
Have a rethink there is a lot in you, you need to discover it and package it right.
Financial confidence in Christ involves a walk of faith not a dabbling into fate.
Lord thank you for the word, we ask that grace to function in it is released unto us daily in Jesus name amen.
