God's Blueprint for Wealth

(Divine Blueprint for Abundant Wealth)

Introduction

• God is not broke and heaven is not in recession.
• Financial struggle is not intended for life.
• Money is not evil; the love of money is.
• God has a divine blueprint for wealth, laid out in the Bible.

Money and Mindset

• Money is not evil; God's concern is money possessing you.
• Wealth begins in the mind, not the wallet.
• Romans 12:2: Transformation begins with renewing your mind.
  • Change in thinking precedes financial growth.
  • Embrace a mindset of royalty, not scarcity.

Divine Economics

• Seed Time and Harvest: A foundational principle from Genesis.
  • Requires planting seeds (money, time, skill) to expect a harvest.
  • Money is a seed and must be sown with faith and obedience for multiplication.

The Gift and Wealth

• Proverbs 18:16: A man's gift brings him before great men.
  • Your gift is essential, not optional; it's a delivery system for wealth.
  • Develop and package your gift with excellence.
  • Business aligns with ministry when done God's way.

Importance of Obedience

• Biblical examples show obedience leading to abundance (Luke 5, the widow, and Peter).
• Obedience activates God's provision and overflow.
• Delayed or partial obedience doesn't yield full blessings.

Wealth and Purpose

• Wealth is a means to fulfill divine purpose, not just personal gain.
• Biblical characters like Abraham, Isaac, and Solomon were wealthy by divine blessing.
• God's desire is for abundance, not poverty; poverty is not equated with holiness.
  • Wealth in righteous hands combats injustice and funds missions.

Perspective on Wealth

• Wealth begins with self-value and a transformed inner identity.
• Romans 12:2: Renewing the mind to see oneself as God sees.
  • Overcome poverty mentality and embrace abundance.

Business as Ministry

• Business aligned with kingdom principles is a form of ministry.
• Jesus modeled business as part of life and ministry.
• Profit and purpose can coexist; business should reflect kingdom values.

The Law of Seed Time and Harvest

• An eternal principle not limited by earthly conditions.
• Requires sowing in faith and expectation for harvest.
• Obedience to God's instructions leads to divine provision.

Conclusion

• Wealth is spiritual before financial; begins with a renewed mind and obedient heart.
• Align actions with God's word, will, and wisdom.
• Wealth is a tool for assignment, not an identity.
• Move in faith to activate God's power and blessings for generations.
