“God wants everyone to be a Millionaire: Found in the 67th Book of the Bible!”
Scripture has a beautiful way of lining up. A Berean Walk through the Word of God will crystallize God’s meaning. He will not leave us to our own interpretation. It is too costly of a price to misinterpret scripture. How is one to live out of their desired imagination what does not come from the heart of God?
Before we go to Heaven, head to your local relationship here on earth. Imagine spending intimate time with someone. You share information that is only given to them, and what this individual does, who was in relationship with you is host a conference and tells an audience the total opposite of everything you revealed to them?
Many take the abundant life of a Believer and make it about financial wealth. In 1 Samuel 2:7
it says, “The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts.” Every Believer will not become a Millionaire, but we most certainly can have our account added to as it relates to eternity.
1 Timothy 6:17-19 reads, “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. This speaks of a wealth that cannot be taken away. How many stories have we heard of people amassing wealth and losing everything?
The reason there can be no room for error is expressed in, 1 Timothy 6:10, “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” Misinterpreting God’s Word concerning wealth accumulation could place someone in a position to lose their footing with the assuredness of their faith!
I facetiously titled this blog: ““God wants everyone to be a Millionaire: Found in the 67th Book of the Bible”, because Believers know the Bible has 66 Books. There is no 67th Book to express Millionaire Status as God’s wishes for every Believer.
Two occurrences come to mind to convey the point. Years ago, I remember giving a woman who was homeless money. I tried to give her an encouraging Word and said, “God bless you.” The woman stopped in her tracks and began to share with me how much God had blessed her. She was not defined by the sky being her roof; nor did she allow her glorifying God to be about material things alone. What a sober reminder for us! Another was watching Bibles that were shipped to some Asian people who were secretly meeting to receive the Word of God. Oh, how they wept and held their Bibles with such conviction! I knew viewing this, I had witnessed some of the most wealthy people I had ever seen! Theresa treasure that was being stored up in their hearts through the Word of God!
I leave you with this…May our Spiritual account forever be in a surplus. May deposits be made daily. As withdrawals are made with our lives, may it be so fruitful that it creates moments of eternal wealth for all we come into contact with. People will put in blood, sweat, and tears for a status that we cannot take with us. Just as products are recalled, let’s bring the mindset of all Believers being Millionaires back to the Dealer and walk out with the more efficient and intended part!
