Strength and Courage

Power means the ability to do or become something and or influence an end result. The scripture repeatedly confirms that God has given his children the ability to make wealth. Yet we do not see a lot of church folks in the lead in the economies of this present world. In contrast, Christianity is viewed as a religion of the poor people. Ignorance, deliberate self-harm and incompetence are recognised attributes that nourish deprivations. Since knowledge of the truth is the first step towards freedom, we shall look at the detail of our inheritance in God during this study.

Introduction: Money is good, only as a means to achieve ends. The world system is built around acquisition of money, for which it has been categorised into 1 st and 3 rd worlds.

Introduction: When you have wealth, many things seem to work well. It is such a great asset that Moses said, “...for it is He who gives you power to get wealth...” No doubt, every good and perfect gift is from God, our Father, with whom there is no favouritism. However, the experience of many church folks suggests that they are living below the line of survival. There is need to urgently recapture the benefits the Lord has prepared for our enjoyment, one of which is prosperity through provision of resources. God’s gifts are provided to those who are prepared for them. Today’s study deals with developing the right attitude that enhances the availability of wealth.
