There is a provision for wealth and riches of the believer. Note, it’s about the believer and not just every one as wealth and riches can be given by the devil also.
According to Psalm 112:3 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
But, like every provision or promise of God, there is a corresponding alignment required by God which we must fully submit to.
Let’s read the full chapter.
Psalm 112
1. Praise ye the Lord. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, that delighteth greatly in his commandments.
2. His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.
3. Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
4. Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5. A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with discretion.
6. Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance.
7. He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord.
8. His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see his desire upon his enemies.
9. He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.
10. The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
I decided to put in bullet form the above chapter for a better understanding. Every believer is chasing riches when they should chase the requirements.
Requirements for Wealth and Riches (Psalm 112):
– Fear the Lord.
– Delight greatly in God’s commandments.
– Be upright.
– Be gracious, full of compassion, and righteous.
– Show favor and lend to others.
– Guide affairs with discretion.
– Trust in the Lord firmly (have a fixed heart).
– Give generously to the poor.
The above is the first part of the next scripture:
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
And the last part of the scripture above is below:
God’s Promises for Meeting the Requirements:
– His descendants (“seed”) shall be mighty on earth.
– His generation shall be blessed.
– Wealth and riches will be in his house.
– His righteousness will endure forever.
– Light will arise for him even in darkness.
– He will not be moved forever; he will be remembered eternally.
– He will not fear bad news; his heart will remain steadfast.
– He will see victory over his enemies.
– His generosity and righteousness will be honored and exalted.
– The wicked will see his success and be distressed, while their desires perish.
In this journey we need the help Holy Spirit cos sometimes we can trivialize things we see or hear.
Point 1 under requirement says “Fear of the Lord”, and you could be wandering what has the Fear of the Lord have to do with wealth and riches? Read on…
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.
Without wisdom we will end up impoverished as a people and nation.
Please take your time to read through line by line again and pray for understand and alignment.
I pray that the Holy Spirit gives us a better understanding to know where we need to make amends and align fully in the name of Jesus, Amen
