Financial Wisdom

“Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver and the gain thereof than fine gold. She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.” Proverbs 3:13-19

Wisdom produces financial blessings. Wisdom prolongs days and brings riches and honour. She brings peace and fulfillment and joy. So, we can see that wisdom that does not manifest discouragement (unhappiness) and lack.

Wisdom is the cure for confusion. (James 1:5). We are going to ask God for wisdom concerning all things that pertain to life.

Faith comes by hearing and understanding comes by the word.

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Proverbs 4:7.

Financial wisdom

It is important as Christians that we discuss the issue of finance. Listen to what the scriptures say about money and we will find out that it is a vital part of life.

“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.” 1Timothy 5:8

The word house means family. Here the word informs us that as believers who walk by faith we are to provide for our own and those of our own family. Failing to do so indicates that we denied the faith and are worse than an infidel. We have a responsibility before God and it is not to be taken lightly. Denying the faith indicates that you are not righteous, thus you are an infidel. THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH! The just are those that does what is right in God's sight.

You provide for your family spiritually, socially, physically, emotionally and financially.

“A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.” Ecclesiastes 10:19

The bible teaches that money answers all things. So, is money evil?

“For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1Tim. 6:10

Money is widely misunderstood in the Christian circle. The bible teaches that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. Believers have lacked wisdom concerning money. Money has its importance and place but money can also become the opposite and opponent of God.

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”Matt. 6:24

Two things can become your masters according to Jesus, either God or money.

The word that we have to pay attention to here is love and hate. Remember that it is the love of money that is the root of all evil and Jesus said that God or money can become your master. How will you know who is your master? By finding out who controls your life!

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”2 Corinthians 2:11

Three primary weapons of the devil are

* Deception

* Temptation

* Accusation

Ignorance is a controlling tool of the devil. Ignorance can steal from you, destroy what yours and kill.

“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6

"A man's gift makes room for him and brings him before great men"

We were each born with God-given gifts, talents and abilities.

 "A man's gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men" (Prov. 18:16).

your God-given gift will make room for you!

Lets have a look at keywords from the verse above:

• "Makes" simply means causes, implying that there is an action taking place.
• The Word "and" means also, so this verse is saying two things. Number one, it's saying that your gift will make room for you. And, number two, it is saying that you'll be brought before great men because of your gift.
• The word "great" here can mean a large number or also men of importance.

"A man's present will broaden, cause expansion, or create opportunity for him. And, on top of all that, a man's present will bring him before great men." Dr. Keith Butler

"It is this gift that will enable you to fulfill your vision." Dr. Myles Munroe 

Everyone Has Value…and your gift is to do what God anointed you to and this will bring support for you; your gift will make room (increase, substance, wealth) for you and bring you before great men. 

Your gift has a divine connection. God has given you special Gifts and Abilities like no one else and only you can fill the place that God has for you.  

"If you want to be great, you become a servant." Dr Robb Thompson

I was priviledge to meet some great people in the world...the former Prime Minister and actual President of Mauritius, SIR ANEEROOD JUGNAUTH. The honourable Mr. PAUL BERENGER. The honourable Mr. Etienne Sinatambou. Some Tottenham Hotspurs FC (Spurs) players - Jermain Defoe and Dr Theo Wolmarans. The lists and photos are longer...including Dr. Robb Thompson, Dr. Jerry Savelle, Dr. Keith Butler, The honourable Mr. Paul Berenger, The honourable Mr Xavier Luc Duval, French actor and singer Patrick Bruel...I was also priviledge to meet SIR GAETAN DUVAL.

When God bless us, He gives us influence. We need to be a voice and speak the Word...so God bless YOU!

What is Love?

This is the bible definition of love. This is how love is in God's sight. Human love is emotional love whereas God's love is supernatural love.

“Love endures long and is patient and kind; Love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy; is not boastful or vain glorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited – arrogant and inflated with pride; it is not rude (unmannerly), and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it – pays no attention to a suffered wrong.
It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and it endures everything (without weakening).
Love never fails – never fades out or becoming obsolete or comes to an end.” - 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

“He who does not love has not become acquainted with God – does not and never did know Him; FOR GOD IS LOVE."

Love is a person.

God is love. He does not only have love as described in 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8, but He is love Himself.

Therefore, we can replace 'God' with love in 1 Cor. 13:4-8, for they are one.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 can also read like this...it is a description of God;
“God endures long and is patient and kind; God never is envious nor boils over with jealousy; is not boastful or vain glorious, does not display itself haughtily.
He is not conceited – arrogant and inflated with pride; He is not rude (unmannerly), and does not act unbecomingly. God does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for He is not self-seeking; He is not touchy or fretful or resentful; He takes no account of the evil done to Him – pays no attention to a suffered wrong. He does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail.
God bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, His hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and He endures everything (without weakening).
God never fails – never fades out or becoming obsolete or comes to an end.”

The love of God is poured out in our hearts

“But the comforter (counselor, helper, intercessor, advocate, strengthener, stand by), the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name (in my place, to represent me and act on my behalf), He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall – will remind you of, bring to your remembrance – everything I have told you.” John 14:26

Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will teach us all things. It is evident that one of the first things that He will teach us is to love. That is to love God, love ourselves and love others as God does.
When we are born again, our old life has passed away and the Holy Spirit pours the love of God in our hearts giving birth to a new life in the fullness of God.

"… For God's love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans 5:5

You have the capacity to love like God does; His love is in your heart.

Also remember that...
“In this (union and communion with Him) love is brought to completion and attains perfection with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment – with assurance and boldness to face Him – because as He is so are we in this world.” 1 John 4:17

So now we may boldly begin to declare...by replacing 'I' where love and God was described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8;

“I endure long and am patient and kind; I never am envious nor boils over with jealousy; am not boastful or vain glorious, do not display itself haughtily.
I am not conceited – arrogant and inflated with pride; I am not rude (unmannerly), and do not act unbecomingly. I do not insist on its own rights or its own way, for I am not self-seeking; I am not touchy or fretful or resentful; I take no account of the evil done to me – pays no attention to a suffered wrong.
I do not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoice when right and truth prevail.
I bear up under anything and everything that comes, am ever ready to believe the best of every person, my hopes are fadeless under all circumstances and I endure everything (without weakening).
I never fail – never fade out or becoming obsolete or come to an end.”

Confess these truths everyday and you will never be the same again.

The Holy Spirit will enable you to love beyond your natural ability and love as God loves.

7th day of praying and fasting...Outpouring, manifestation, anointing

Fasting amplifies consecration and dedication to God.
Our fasting and prayer for the next three days is aim at an increase of God's presence,outpouring, manifestation and anointing in our lives.
Praying in line with Isaiah 11:2, we want to see a manifestation of the seven facets of the anointing:

1. The Spirit of the Lord - the presence of God
2. The anointing of wisdom
3. The anointing of spiritual understanding
4. The anointing of counsel (insights)
5. The anointing of might (power)
6. The anointing of knowledge (revelation)
7. The anointing of the fear of the Lord (honour and respect to God)

Remember:

The anointing is a yoke destroying, burden removing power of God. (Isaiah 10:27)

Pray that God will use you and the flow of the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:6-11) will be evident in our lives.
The Holy Spirit can manifest any one of these 9 gifts through any believer anytime that He will want to do so. We want to be ready!
The gifts are all supernatural, miraculous manifestations direct from the Holy Spirit Himself.
The gifts are in three parts;

Gifts of revelation

1. The Word of Knowledge
2. The Word of Wisdom
3. The Discerning of Spirits

Gifts of utterance

1. The Gift of Prophecy
2. Different Kinds of Tongues
3. The Interpretation of Tongues

Gifts of power

1. The Gift of Faith
2. The Gifts of Healings
3. The Working of Miracles

Also, declare Colossians 1:9
"For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;"
and...
Ephesians 1:17-19
"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.
The eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what is the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the Saints.
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe according to the working of his mighty power."

Be bless,

Ps James Arekion
