Wisdom Is The Currency Of Wealth
Prov. 8: 12- 21
God does not give money but He gives the power to get wealth. (Deut. 8: 18). Money is not printed in heaven. God made man; man makes money because we are co-creators together with God. You don’t have to pray for money. The richest men and women do not look like prayer warriors. Some of them are Muslims, idol worshippers or even atheists. While the rich work for money, the poor pray for it. Praying for money is not a bad thing to do because the Bible says that anything we ask the father He will do it for us. However, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. (Jam. 2:17). People get rich because they are diligent in business and invest in meaningful opportunity. Getting wealthy is not a mystery but a mastery of certain principles of wealth creation. Wealth is created through information and wisdom is the ability to understand and apply knowledge rightly (Prov. 24:3-4). Pursue wisdom not money; get understanding not riches; wealth, riches and honour follow a man of wisdom. And if anyone lacks wisdom let him ask God (Prov. 4: 7; Jam. 1: 5; 2 Chro. 1: 11-12).
POINT OF EMPHASIS: Wealth is created when you know what to do and do what you know diligently and wisely.
PRAYER POINT: O Lord, give me the power to get wealth today and make me wiser in the matters of money in Jesus’ name
