Proverbs 3:9-10 NKJV
“Honor the LORD with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.”
If you hang on long enough in Christianity and in your walk with God, you will notice that God is not silent about anything whatsoever in the bible. The bible has something original to say about everything. And this can serve as a guide for you on practically any subject or issue that may arise in your mind or life for that matter.
God's wisdom for your finances is very powerful. And I have very deep respect for God and His wisdom for everything. As far as finances are concerned, God's wisdom is as follows:
i. Honour God with your finances:
The concept of honour to God is very important. You could give to God without honouring Him, you can worship God without honouring Him, and you could serve God without honour. The honour factor is what will make whatever it is you do for God to be acceptable by Him. Sit down, consider and determine what you deem to be honour, in every sense of the word and spice up all that you do for God with that standard.
ii. Honouring God entails making Him FIRST in all you do:
God is not honoured until He has come first in your finances. That is why the first commandment God clearly stated was that we should not have any other god before Him; Exodus 20:3. Note the word "before", which means ahead of Him, in front of Him or before Him. Cain's sacrifice was rejected not because it was low in quality, but because it lacked honour. While Abel gave the firstling of His flock, Cain just gave whatever came to his hand.
Your tithe must be the FIRST thing you take out of your income or increase before any spending. Your first income, profit or salary should be dedicated to God, it is called first fruit. God should get the first attention in your time at work or business, by way of devotion or office fellowship time. God wants you to put His kingdom and ministry work first in your allocation of resources and finances. These things will honour God and make Him fill your store house with plenty and grant you overflow in your business.
Assignment
i. Rearrange your financial life from now on and make God first in all your dealings.
ii. Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you other ways to honour God in your finances and business dealings.
Prayer
-Lord teach me to make you the number one in all that I do, both in my finances and business dealings in Jesus Name.
-Lord forgive me for all those times I did not honour you the way you deserved in Jesus Name.
