The Bible says He will make ALL Grace abound to us which means there is Grace for every aspect of life and that's why this topic will speak of Grace for financial abundance. Spirituality doesn't translate to financial abundance. That you are a child of God doesn't translate to wealth. Nigeria is one of the most prayerful countries in the world yet that's where poverty is also prevalent. The most blessed country in the world is an Islamic country. Wealth answers to principles and not to your level of prayer or spirituality.
You don't need to be a born again to be able to learn how to save. Even when an unbeliever saves and a believer won't save, that believer would beg and the unbeliever won't, even though Jesus is in your heart, you will still suffer economically. Your finance must be planned for it to be sustainable. If every day you have to be calling God for provisions it shows you are not smart. If you don't create a system that provides your daily bread, you will still beg.
Principles don't respect positions or titles. What people are doing that brings wealth, it shouldn't be a problem to be followed by believers too. A lot of believers are suffering financially because they would rather pray than act or plan.
The Bible made us understand that God loves a person who gives cheerfully. God is first interested in the heart of the giver before his gifts. Your heart comes before your gifts. When your heart is wrong, your gifts won't be acceptable. I am sure we are familiar with the story of Cain and Abel. Humans look at the outward appearances but God searches the heart.
It is only a privilege to give because we are giving out of the abundance that God gave us. The Bible told us "What do you have that you have not received? If you have received it why do you boast as though you didn't?" This explains why many gave in time past but never saw abundance because they gave in response to pressure, not cheerfully and sometimes for recognition. No one can deceive God...He made you and He knows every intention.
The Bible says seed time and harvest... There is time attached to seed and not to harvest. A lot of people are frustrated because they put time on what they want to get from God. God determines the harvest... When your harvest delays, it's because your order is huge and it might take time. You can't compare someone who placed an order for a drink to someone with a proper meal...the processing time is different. Once a farmer misses the seed time, that farmer would beg during harvest. It's just a natural order of things. Even if they don't beg they can't have as much as the person who sowed. The Bible also told us that "... Isaac sowed in the land and he reaped a hundred fold..." just imagine if he didn't plant or sow, what can be multiplied unto him?
We depend so much on God working magic for us rather than doing our path. God is still a God of order and yes He bypass certain protocols to show us that He can do anything but you have a part to play at least. Imagine working in Bank ABC and how do you expect a salary from Bank XYZ? If you pray from now till tomorrow, you can't receive a salary from a place you are not working. It's just a natural order of things.
Tomorrow I would be sharing some principles that believers can follow...
Thank you for your time.

Thanks for sharing, this is a massage we really need to preach in our Churches that faith goes with work not magic, play your part and nature has it own, not waiting for God to do your own, that's the problem. Give and received that's the law and it works every were, either black or white, religious person or not, it doesn't respect any of these. Am happy some one is thinking in these direction too
Thank you so much. Yes, it doesn't respect skin type or religion. We have those who don't believe in God practice it and it works. So many Christians put what they are supposed to do into prayer and they wonder why they are not getting results.
Please say that again, I like your mind set
Thank you so much.
Faith needs work. Faith without work is nothing. So not working yet expecting a financial breakthrough is like daydreaming. Thank you for sharing
That's accurate. It's a big day dreaming my dear. God will do His part and we have to do ours.
I totally agree with you when you say that riches are not related to the level of spirituality, having faith in GOD is basic, offering the Lord our effort
Yes, eternity is the goal, no doubt but when we ask God to do for us what He has given us the common sense to do for ourselves is what I can't understand with some Christians. Thank you so much my friend.
I think that some people do not understand what it says in the bible , most are metaphors , so you have to let each individual act according to what they understand
The Spirit of God reveals in parts. Most people don't understand because they don't take time to study.
There is Grace for everything we need in God. He supplies Grace to the weak too. He teaches us how to make wealth with principles in the Bible. I enjoyed reading this. Thank you.
There is Grace for anything we need. The problem is people are asking for the Grace yet they don't want to do anything. They want magic but God is a God of process.
Process, that's it.
Prayer without action is useless and meaningless. We have to do our parts while God breaks protocol for us through His grace and this can be done when He sees we are ready to work and not sit down all day praying for miracle to happen. Beautiful piece from you.
I popped in through Dremport.
God sees everything. He doesn't work magic. He focuses more on building strength and capacity. The Bible says let him who won't work not eat. The Bible is complete.
Thanks a lot, dear. Really appreciate your thoughts.
The Bible is complete oo and God wants everyone to enjoy their lives in the fullest. But we have to work for it too.
It's my pleasure 😊
We definitely have to work. There is no shortcut to this. Thanks KP.
You are welcome.
This is an amazing piece that does resonate with me, the orders are different and we should pray, work and be hopeful. We cant expect harvest when we didn't plant. I will send you a video concerning this with a french word attached to it... Je ne comprehend pas(I don't understand) which i bet we will have something to discuss on why you view it.
A lovely piece as always Mr. Square 😉😉
Thank you so much dear and I look forward to the video. I love engaging you in words because I enjoy your perspective into things too. We surely can't harvest where we didn't plant or labour...that would have been stealing. God doesn't even encourage stealing.
Thanks a lot, Mr. Square for your lovely words as always, and I did send the video.. Thanks for sharing this piece baby 🙃🙃
You are the best darling. Thank you boo.
