*Deuteronomy 15:6 (KJV);* For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow, and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
*REIGNING IN WEALTH*
Some Christians believe that being wealthy amounts to wickedness.
To think this way is to think as a fallen man.
God boasted over Jobโs righteousness, claiming that there was none more upright than him. This same Job was very rich and the greatest man in the whole of the east (Job 1:3).
Abraham was righteous before God, and the Bible described him as โextremely richโ (Genesis 13:2).
These examples and our theme scripture indicate that God expects Christians not only to be wealthy but to have the sort of wealth that impacts nations.
In Ecclesiastes 9:16 the Bible says that a poor manโs wisdom is despised and his words are not heeded. If you are poor, you will never be positively influential because no one will respect your wisdom no matter how great it is.
There is no glory in poverty. The poor, through no fault of their own, are regarded with contempt when they speak.
Wealth, on the other hand, positions you in places of authority. It makes you a voice of counsel and an influencer of influencers.
Hallelujah!

*GOLDEN NUGGET:* There is no glory in poverty. Wealth positions you in places of authority. It makes you a voice of counsel and an influencer of influencers.
*PRAYER:* Loving Father, I thank You for this truth. I live conscious of the fact that You have called me to be wealthy and have influence over nations. I yield to this truth by choosing to understand that You have blessed me with an abundance of wealth through Christ. This wealth leaves a footprint on nations, to the glory of Your name, Amen.๐ช๐ผ๐ช๐ผ
