BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY: There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil…so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east. Job 1:1, 3b
DAILY BIBLE VERSE DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
Sometime ago, a young man told me that he went to execute a contract given to him by a minister in government. As he was about executing it, the director of finance asked him for a bribe before he could execute the job.
He came to tell me, and I told him to get back to the minister and let him know what the director of finance asked him to do, else, he should just forget the job.
You know, I have always maintained that it is possible to be neatly rich; that is, rich without compromise, rich without stealing, rich without bribery and corruption, rich with integrity.
For example, Job was neatly rich; he was the wealthiest man in his generation and he did not engage in corruption. He was the most upright man, and was still the richest man in his generation.
Abraham was neatly rich; Isaac was neatly rich; Joseph had neat riches; Daniel was neatly rich. etc.
To say that integrity and uprightness cannot be combined with prosperity is a lie from the pit of hell.
Our God owns the world and He can give to any of us anything out of His abundant riches in this world.
So, you do not have to follow the laws of the devil or the dictates of hell before you can succeed financially on earth. You must not be corrupt in order to be rich. It is a lie of the devil to think that you must be corrupt before you can succeed financially on earth.
PRAYER FOR TODAY: Lord, I resist the temptation of making money through unrighteous means. Help me to follow the Kingdom pattern of accessing Kingdom prosperity, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
