Does God wants His people to get rich? -Joyce Meyer

The Power of a Wise, Committed Lifeby Joyce Meyer When I was interviewed by Timemagazine once, the interviewer asked me, “Does God want people to be rich?” I knew that simply saying yes or no would get me in trouble, so I explained it like this: “God wants His people to have everything they can handle and keep Him first in their lives, be a blessing to other people and keep a good attitude.” He then said, “So youdobelieve God wants people to have possessions and material wealth.” I said, “Yes, if they can handle it.” So he challenged me with this question: “What do you tell the housewife whose husband has left her, she has three kids, the refrigerator is broken down, the car is broken down, and she doesn’t have your life? What do you tell her?” I said, “I tell her to do the same thing I did: Don’t quit and don’t give up. Persevere and keep doing what God is telling you to do, and little by little, you will get where you want to be.” It Didn’t Just Happen Overnight We descend into a list of troubles a little bit at a time, not all at once. We get into messes in our lives through years of making bad choices. And we can’t expect to get our lives straightened out overnight. Yes, God is a miracle-working God, and He can fix our problems in a moment if He wants to. But it usually doesn’t happen that way. It wouldn’t be good for us if He just waved a magic wand over us and fixed our messes instantaneously. If He did, we wouldn’t learn anything and would just do it all over again. The way we get out of trouble is through learning how to make right choices. And if we make wise decisions and do what God tells us to do, we’ll have what He says we can have. The Truth About Blessings and Who Gets Them Now, the blessings are not just stuff. The world is full of people who have a lot of money, yet they’re miserable anyway. God wants to bless His children so we can have the abundant life Jesus died to give usand so we can be a blessing to others, not just so we can have stuff. Deuteronomy 30:19has a simple message: Do what God tells you to do, and you’ll be blessed. Don’t do what He tells you to do, and you won’t be blessed. I want you to really hear what I’m saying: The promises of God are for “whosoever will,” and not just a select group of people. If you will obey God’s direction for your life and trust Him, you will have what God says you can have. The Way to Get Out of the Mess You’re In Whatever your mess is, be determined to do what’s right so you can see good results, no matter how long it takes. God is faithful to His Word. The key is being committed to obey God. And being committed requires diligence, perseverance, dedication, fortitude and patience. Make up your mind that youcanget out of the trouble you’re in. Your financial situation can be turned around. Your marriage can change and improve. You can have a healthy body. You can have peace and joy. You can have a great relationship with God.Jesus said He came so we might have and enjoy our life. He wants us to have peace, joy and freedom from worry and anxiety. As we really love God and seek Him, He will give us His wisdom and show us the path of the blessed life we can have in Christ.

This is how my parable begins. Let me call him John. John had a double story house, five plus five rooms. One day there was a gentle knock on the front door. When John opened it was the Lord Jesus. “Please come in”, John pleaded, “I will give you the best room in my house – it is upstairs. Well, Jesus is a gentleman and said “thank you”. The next morning someone hammered against the front door. When John opened it who was there? The devil. “No” shouted John, “I don’t want you here” But the devil said “I’m already in” – and a big fight started. Satan poured filthy temptation on him, it was horrible. By the evening John somehow got the victory and threw the devil out. Then he said “wait a minute”. I gave Jesus the best room in the house, why didn’t he come to my rescue?” Jesus said to John “Look, you gave me one of the ten rooms…” John was on his knees and said “I can see my mistake. Sorry, Lord. Let’s make 50/50.” Jesus is a gentleman and accepted. The next day was a repeat of the day before. Somehow the devil got in and out and John was totally exhausted. “Why didn’t Jesus come to my rescue today? I need to go and ask.” The Lord said “My son, why don’t you give me all 10 rooms and then, instead of me staying with you, you stay with me?” John broke down. He pulled the key of the front-door from his pocket and handed it to Jesus. Now, he had given it all. The next morning, it was still dark, when someone was knocking at the front door so hard that the whole building shook. John jumped frightened and shaken out of bed crying “O, it’s the devil again”, when suddenly he heard footsteps – but this time inside the house. Jesus was marching in majesty and power towards the front door. He had the key. It now was His duty to answer the door. John was wondering what would happen and stood right behind Jesus when the Lord opened the door wide. Who was it? The devil of course. But when the devil saw Jesus standing in the door he bowed low, very low indeed, and said “Sorry Sir, I knocked on the wrong door!” Some have given 9 rooms to Jesus and on the door of room number 10 they have written “Strictly Private”. It is there where they have their secret sins and live their double life. But Jesus cannot be cheated. C’mon. Let’s sing it together from the bottom of our hearts “Unto Jesus I surrender, unto Him I freely give….I surrender ALL, unto thee my God and Savior, I surrender all.” This is my foolproof recipe for victory! Does it speak to you? Please let me know. God bless you.

Era Of The Dispensation Of The Spirit

Believers! Know ye that we're in the era of the dispensation of the spirit. Christ came to give us life,a life in abundance,but He said He said on the cross "IT'S FINISHED" . Here, Christ understood the principle and the plan of the Father that He has to die to pay for wages of our sins as the scripture says: "the wages of sin is death" so that we might be commended as righteous folks to receiving the promise of the Father #the #Holyghost. Christ died for us to receive Him (Holy Ghost) that He might comfort and help us when we are weary and tired on our journey to the eternal home of God. Ever wonder why He (Christ) was so anxious to release unto his disciples the gift of the Holyghost when He first appeared after His resurrection, all because He knew it was for this reason He died.First, to take away our sins and secondly that we might receive this same promise from God. Christ also knew that it is only through this #promise we can overcome as He did and so that we might reign with Him in his kingdom atlas The key thing is that aside the holy spirit as a helper,comforter,teacher etc, God still wants us to have a taste of his Kingdom here on earth as the scripture says that the kingdom of God is not meat and drink ,but for righteousness,peace and joy in the Holy ghost. God indeed, is a spirit so also the heavenly beings and those who worship Him must do that in truth and in spirit because these are the set of worshippers God seeketh after and this correlates with His plan for we the new testament believers So how often do we rely on this breath of God and the power therein? #THE HOLY GHOST. Do you even know Him as friend who helps you to pray and bear your infirmities? Do not waste the grace of God, He is so closed to you than you ever think or imagine, the spirit of christ , the power in the word, the holder of the key to eternal life. Do you know Him? Stop using your strength and energy to please and Serve God, stop wasting grace. Tonight, God is calling you to come to the school of the spirit,forget your pride and hearken unto the master's call. Invite the holy ghost to come and take charge of your life, He wants to help you so much but He can do but nothing unless you invite Him into your life. Come now, tarry not , let Him replace your religion mentality with a lasting relationship with God so that you will no longer depend on your ability but of Him Out of God's love for mankind, He still wants to walk in man again,dine and whine with them as He did when He first created them. But how do we access all these if we keep disallowing the working of His spirit in us The era of Moses, Elijah etc is gone, we are in the era of the spirit(the new law) God bless you!
