OVERFLOWING WEALTH

Memorise:
Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever. .. Psalm 112:3

Read:
Zechariah 1:14-17

Message

God doesn't just want you to be rich; He wants you to overflow with wealth. In 2 Chronicles 1:6-15, the Bible records that Solomon had so much wealth that he made silver and gold as common as stones in Jerusalem. Even though he only asked God for wisdom to rule Israel, God gave him great riches in addition to the wisdom.

    Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORÒ be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.     . . . Psalm 35:27

God truly derives pleasure in the prosperity of His servants. He can decide to make you overflow with wealth, but He will not do it for someone who is selfish. When He gave Solomon overflowing wealth, it was because Solomon did not ask for something for himself; rather, he asked for something for God's people. God will not give you overflowing wealth if you're not committed to His people and His work on the earth. If all you want to do with wealth is to spend it on yourself and your family alone or show off before people, God will not give you access to overflowing wealth.

When God knows that He can trust you to use the resources He gives you to advance His kingdom on earth, He will bless you with abundance. He blessed Abraham with overflowing wealth and made him great because He could trust him and because He knew he would be a blessing to the whole world (Genesis 18:17-19). Can God trust you with overflowing wealth?

I travelled to Gibraltar at one time, and I was having a nice time looking at tourist attractions like the Rock of Gibraltar and so on. Suddenly, I saw something that affected my happiness -there was a mosque built there with millions of pounds sterling. When I asked, I was told that only a few people use the mosque, and only one person funded the construction of the building! I turned to God and asked, "Lord, what is this?" The answer I got from Him was, "You people are too slow particularly you Nigerians. Some of you are even afraid to prosper. When you pray, 'O God, prosper me, all you are asking for is one million naira. You don't have a vision to take the whole world for Jesus Christ. "

Beloved, when your heart is ablaze with a burning passion to advance God's kingdom, He will not hesitate to give you overflowing wealth.

Bible In One Year:
Jeremiah 1-3

Hymn:
There Shall Be Showers Of Blessing

Reflection:
Are you passionate about advancing God's kingdom? Can God trust you with overflowing wealth?

King James Version

Zechariah 1:14-17

So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy. [15] And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction. [16] Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem. [17] Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the Lord shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

  1. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    This is the promise of love;
    there shall be seasons relreshing,
    Sent from the Saviour above.


    2. Showers of blessing,
    Showers of blessing we need;
    Mercy drops round us are falling.
    Bitt for the showers ive plead.


  2. "There shall be showers of blessing"
    Precious reviving again;
    Over the hills and the valleys,
    Sound of abundance of rain.
  3. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    Send them upon ns. Oh Lord!
    Grant to us now a refreshing:
    Come and now honour Thy Word.
  4. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    Oh, that today they might fall.
    Now, as to God, we're confessing.
    No was on Jesus we call!
  5. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    If we but trust and obey;
    There shall be seasons relresliing.
    If we let God have His way.
