God is on your side!
The Word of God says, “If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31).
He is our salvation. He is our strength. He is our Source.
My friend Dr. Kenneth Ulmer joins me this week on This Is Your Day! to remind us how God wants to bless each of us!
It’s a Matter of Choices
In a day of shifting economics, what Dr. Ulmer shares on the program is both timely and crucial.
Whether you have a little money or a lot, it is time that you move into a greater dimension of kingdom blessings, and Kenneth has been anointed especially for this day to show you how to make your money count!
It all comes down to choices.
Your choices are crucial, but God doesn’t make a secret about how He wants you to make those choices. He says, “I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19).
God wants to pour out great blessings upon you, but just believing in prosperity and financial success is not enough. You must go through a process to achieve biblical prosperity.
What is often called “the gospel of prosperity” is faulty when it ignores the biblical process.
God is a God of order, not chaos. There is an order to achieving what He wants you to have, and it is time that each believer puts this process into financial success.
What is this process?
God Is Your Source
On This Is Your Day! Dr. Ulmer tells us that the words money and riches appear more than 215 times in the Bible. God obviously wants us to know about finances. He wants us to know how to handle money.
The process must start with the knowledge that God is your Source: “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).
“My God” requires a personal relationship with Him, an acknowledgement that He is Savior and Lord.
Then, and only then, will He supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.
Then you can begin following His process into all the blessings He has in store for you.
True Prosperity
The next step in the biblical process is understanding whether God wants believers to have wealth or not.
God says:
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Psalm 1:1-3)
The happy, blessed, and prosperous person does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, but he chooses to follow the law of the Lord.
What does God Himself have to say about prosperity?
· “He who trusts in the Lord will prosper” (Proverbs 28:25, NIV).
· “Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest” (Joshua 1:7).
· “Walk in all the way that the Lord your God has commanded you, so that you may live and prosper” (Deuteronomy 5:33, NIV).
· “Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do” (Deuteronomy 29:9).
· “The Lord commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the Lord our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive” (Deuteronomy 6:24, NIV).
· “A generous man will prosper” (Proverbs 11:25, NIV).
· “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth” (Deuteronomy 8:18).
I love Dr. Ulmer’s definition of prosperity: “To prosper means to succeed to the point of excellence—to the highest level.”
All we have to do is put His process into play: “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 29:11). Another version of this verse tells us that the Lord “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (NIV).
True prosperity is simply success God’s way!
We see many examples of people living by this principle throughout the Bible—Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, David, and so many more.
In fact, Jesus talked often about money and finances, offering the parable of the talents: “So he called ten of his servants and gave them ten minas. ‘Put this money to work,’ he said, ‘until I come back’” (Luke 19:13, NIV). The master gave the money to his servants with these clear instructions: “Do business until I return.”
This is not a suggestion. He gave money with a command.
The master in the parable was a businessman who earned some of his money by having others invest it on his behalf. He expected his servants to behave the same way with his money.
When the master returned, he rewarded the two who were faithful in business. The one who hid his money set himself up for strict judgment.
The master had commanded action. Nothing less was accepted. Fear of failure was not accepted as an excuse.
And today there is much to be done before our Lord returns. Our job is to conduct business with the resources He gives us until He returns.
More importantly, the goal is not just to work more to make more money. Instead, on This Is Your Day! Dr. Ulmer teaches to make your money work for you, as in the parable of the talents.
God’s Five Blessings of Money
God’s desire is to bless you. He wants to pour out wisdom and power that will allow you to make your money count.
God has a system, a process, to pour out His blessings upon you:
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work… Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God. (2 Corinthians 9:8, 10-12)
God has ordained five blessings of money:
1. As seed for the sower
2. To provide bread
3. To multiply the seed that is sown
4. To increase the fruits of our righteousness
5. To give
God’s Principle of Multiplication
The seed that God multiplies is the seed that has already been sown. He doesn’t multiply the seed that you keep. You have to sow it first, then it is multiplied.
You only reap what you sow!
You only reap after you sow!
You always reap more than you sow!
God’s kingdom operates through giving and receiving, as opposed to the world’s system which operates through buying and selling.
In the world you get addition from interest, but in God’s kingdom, interest isn’t just added. It is multiplied!
God gives us seed for our need, but He wants to move us into supernatural abundance that comes through the principle of multiplication.
The Purpose of Abundance
God is not concerned as much about the size of your bank account or the amount of seed that you plant, but He is mostly concerned about the size of your heart!
Doing kingdom business must always point to the spreading of God’s Word.
God does not need your money. He wants your heart, for that is the great indicator of what you treasure.
As you follow God’s process for sowing and reaping, He will pour out abundance. But the purpose of God’s multiplication must always be focused on expanding God’s kingdom and taking the Gospel to the nations.
It is not to be hoarded or hidden.
God’s heart is to bless you. If you will seek His heart and follow His ways, He already has great abundance stored up for you!
Get ready to receive from Him.
Plant into good soil.
Expect a return on the seed that you plant. In fact, plant it with a specific expectation!
God’s goal is not merely to meet your need. His goal for you is abundance so you can shower your overflow onto others.
This Amazing Season
God is moving mightily today. He is shaking the nations. We have a great work to do
At the same time, God wants you to be blessed in every area of your life!
He has promised to supply whatever we need to accomplish all that He has called us to do:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. (John 14:12-14)
God wants to bless you richly in all that you do for Him in the days to come, for He says: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen” (Ephesians 3:20-21).
This is an amazing season, and I want you to be a part of what God is going to do.
Send your most generous seed today. Be part of what God desires to do in your life.
Your seed-gift, no matter what size, is an act of faith that you place your offering on the altar!
Above all else, plant your seed in faith, acknowledging that God is your Source and that He wants to bless you supernaturally, for it is “not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts” (Zechariah 4:6)…
Preaching the glorious Gospel,
teaching the unchanging Word,
and expecting the mighty and miraculous,
The Word of God says, “If God be for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31).
He is our salvation. He is our strength. He is our Source.
