THEME FOR 2019:
BANK ON GOD, Volume #1!
Scripture Text: Deuteronomy, Chapter 8
(Note to the reader, the information provided are examples on how to acquire wealth. Please seek out a licensed professional to create your personalized financial plan.)
We are starting a new series, BANK ON GOD! It is time to BANK ON GOD. We cannot bank on this system of things. Things are coming apart left and right, and scripture is being fulfilled. We have to trust in GOD to move through the things which are coming and let HIM through the Holy Spirit lead us and guide us in making wise and prudent financial decisions. We have to BANK ON GOD! In GOD's System as Jehovah Jireh, Faith is our Currency. Our level of Faith, determines what will manifest in our lives according to the Promises of GOD in Holy Word. He gave us Jesus that these Promises are able to happen according to John 10:10. We use the Word of GOD with practical money principles of this world to create the Financial Livelihood that we want to see. It is a process, and you must be willing to do the work. Let Your Finances Move and Grow. The very first step is to BANK ON GOD!

STEWARDSHIP LESSON #5
Scripture Text: The Book of Job, Chapter 22, Verses 12-30
LESSON: Manifestation of God's Provision in Our Lives
****************************************************************************************************
What we think, speak and do have either positive or negative consequences. This is known as the Law of Manifestation or the Law of Causation. In our scripture text, we read that Job, and he is having a conversation with his friend, Eliphaz. Job has lost everything...his family and his wealth; and his 3 friends believe it is because of the "sin" in his life. However, we read that when Job had lost everything, he stated, "The very thing that I have feared has come upon me. (See Job 3:25 ) "
Some how in Job's mind, he had given place to the worst case scenario for himself and his family. When the fact of the matter, he was being tested by God as a true servant. Satan had put the request in to God that Job only worshiped Him for all the things that God have given to Job. In Chapter 1, Verses 8-22, and Chapter 2, Verses 1-7, God allowed for Job to be tested.
Job then began to reflect over his life, and over the affliction and suffering that he was enduring. He had some "haters" around him; even his own wife told him to "Curse God and Die" (Job 2: 9-10). His 3 friends came next, and they shared deep and profound reasons for Job's troubles.
Job had moments of despair, and then he began to change his thoughts and speech. He began to recall of the wonderful and great things that God had done for him. His friend Eliphaz, tells Job to remember God's and Promises in his heart, put iniquity away from himself, and return to God.
He assured Job that when he does that he will have and will manifest the Provision of God in his life. God will hear his prayers. Job will be able to speak or decree a thing, it will be established, and the Light of God will shine in his life and on his ways.
Job began to put the Law of Manifestation into action, and reconnected with the Almighty in a way that he had not done before in his life. We learned in the last chapter of Job that God had blessed Job, and have given him double of everything that he had lost before with his children and wealth.
Jesus shared with us that in this world that we will have tests, trials, and tribulations, but we are to have joy because He has already overcome all this(John 16:33). Jesus told us that we will have what we believe (John 14: 12-14). Jesus did not want for anything when He is was physically upon this Earth, and He wants to know and operate in the Manifestation of Godly Provision too.
How are we able to do this:
Steps for Manifesting Godly Provision in Our Lives:
1. What are your thoughts about God's Provision and Money? Be clear on your thoughts and intentions.
2. How do you speak about money or provision? Are your words about money and provision of abundant expectancy of more or of lack and fear?
3. Do you truly believe God, as Jehovah Jireh is Your Provider?
Affirmation:
Dear Jehovah Jireh, thank You for being My Provider in seen and unseen ways today and always. I am ready to Manifest Your Provision in all areas of my life. I want to learn from Job and Jesus that my thoughts, words, and actions will reflect and manifest what I see in my life and finances. I give thanks in advance for the Signs, the Wonders, and Miracles which are manifesting in my finances this day and forward for Your Glory, In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Practical Money Tip:
In Your Savings for Emergency and for Retirement,
factor in about 15-20% to set aside against inflation.
