It’s no secret that the Bible is filled with verses about wealth and prosperity. The early chapters of the Old Testament alone have more than a few references to money and riches, so it shouldn’t be surprising that Christians often turn to scripture for guidance on these topics. Here are some examples:
Deuteronomy 8:18
But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day.
- God gives you the power to get wealth.
- God wants you to use your wealth to serve others.
- Be generous with your wealth when giving it away or spending it on others: “Therefore [this] is what the LORD says: ‘I will return prosperity to my people; I will have compassion on my chosen one’s city (Zion), and pity those who live in Babylon; I will make her envied for all that beauty and glory of which she has been stripped because of me.” (Jeremiah 51:1-2)
“You shall not withhold from him who deserves it nor shall you give [Him] too much when He deserves little or nothing at all.” (Deuteronomy 15:7)
Psalm 62:10
Trust not in oppression, and become not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart [upon them].
- Strive for God’s kingdom first, then the things of this world will follow.
- You should trust in God and have faith that your needs will be met. God will provide all that you need.
Luke 6:38
Luke 6:38 says, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye measure with, it shall be measured to you again.”
This verse tells us that when we give of ourselves in love and service to others, we will receive back much more than we gave. When we give God 10% of our income as tithes and offerings (or more), He promises to bless us with more than enough for all our needs.
Philippians 4:19
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
If you feel like your needs aren’t being met, look to God. He will provide all your needs according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
God will supply all our needs through Christ Jesus.
Proverbs 10:22
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
As you’re reading this post, consider the fact that God wants to bless you with prosperity in your life and he will! The Bible says: “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.” (Proverbs 10:22)
This verse shows us two things about prosperity or wealth:
1) God wants us to be wealthy so that we can worship him freely;
2) He does not give people wealth as a curse but as a blessing.
Malachi 3:10
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that [there shall] not [be room] enough [to receive it].
- Tithing is a biblical principle
- Tithing is giving 10% of your income to the church
- Tithing is a way to show gratitude to God for all that he has given us
- Tithing is a way to help the church carry out its mission
