If your goal in life is to have just enough, the enemy has his thumb on you.

Nowhere in the Bible do we find God approving of just enough. Quite the opposite, actually.

God is extravagant. Everything in all creation is designed to produce more than enough.

Just think of how many seeds are in a watermelon. Even if there were only one seed, it would go on to multiply and produce much fruit.

Remember that extravagant temple God had Solomon build? If it were built today, it would cost more than a trillion dollars.

His streets are paved with gold. His gates are adorned with precious stones.

The first command God gave us was to be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it.

Just enough was never God's plan for you. It has always been more than enough.

So, get in alignment with Him so He can give you the power to get wealth.

Does Jesus hate wealth and riches?

No. He hates the misuse of money, which stems from a wrong relationship with money.

How do we know if we have a wrong relationship with money?

According to Jesus, in Matthew 6, here's what it looks like:

You are focused on storing it up for this life, rather than investing in things that produce eternal impact.

You look to money for permission. It rules your life by determining almost every decision you make.

You worry about paying bills rather than trusting God to care for you.

If any of those describe you, you have a wrong relationship with money.

So, what do you do? Ask God to help you see money the way He does. Humble yourself before Him and let Him renew your mind.

Most Christians subconsciously believe that God is opposed to wealth.

And when you think about it, it's really dumb that we've bought into that lie. There's so much proof in the Bible that God actually delights in the prosperity of His people.

Abraham. By faith, he obeyed God, went to a foreign land, and was rewarded with mind-blowing wealth.

Solomon. He believed and obeyed God from a young age, and God made him the wealthiest man to ever live.

Esther and Mordacai. God rewarded their faith-filled obedience by promoting them to the top of the kingdom.

The problem has never been wealth.

God is eager to prosper us, but few ever qualify. Because first you must believe that God rewards those who diligently seek Him.

Do you know what happens when you really believe this? Radical obedience.

Just like the people I mentioned, you follow God when it doesn't make sense because you have full confidence that He will only take you from glory to glory.

God does not accept all offerings.

This is hard to wrap your mind around because the church sure will.

But very early in the Bible, we learn of two brothers: Cain and Abel. Both brought an offering to the Lord.

Cain gave what was required out of obligation. Abel carefully searched for the best of his resources to give.

Abel's offering was accepted. Cain's offering was rejected by God.

It's not that God needs your nice stuff. Actually, He doesn't need your stuff at all. He just wants faith.

Giving out of obligation reveals a lack of faith in your giving.

Faith will always move you to give your best and to give what doesn't make sense.

Faith produces unusual generosity.

So, do you believe that God will reward you for giving your best? Because if you do, you would give it all away, with full confidence that God will give you even better.

"It's hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

That's what Jesus said. And now, it's used to convince Christians to resist wealth.

But did you realize that Jesus wasn't talking to Christians?

True believers have already entered the kingdom of God. We laid down our lives, believed in Jesus Christ, and gained full access to the kingdom through His blood.

So, what was Jesus actually saying? It's simple.

The more earthly riches you have before Christ, the harder it is to lay it all down to enter His kingdom.

But once you enter His kingdom, you have full access to God's wealth. He makes you rich and adds no sorrow to it.

Never forget, God delights in the prosperity of His people.

Have you realized that God never told you to hate wealth?

The way most Christians talk makes you think God resists wealth. But that's not the case.

Here's what the Bible actually says:

Don't love money.
Don't trust in money.
Don't serve money.

All of this has to do with how you relate to money, not how much money you have.

God is not against wealth. Actually, He delights in the prosperity of His people.

He just doesn't want wealth in the driver's seat. He doesn't want it to consume our thoughts and make our decisions.

The God kind of wealth is abundance beyond comprehension that you don't really even think about. It's when big resources become a small thing.

Learn to see this the way God does, so you are positioned and ready to help fund the end-time harvest.
