Deuteronomy 8:18 But you shall remember the LORD your God: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto your fathers, as it is this day.

God has given us the power to get wealth. The definition of wealth is a great quantity or store of money, valuable possessions, property, or other riches.
Since God is not a respecter of persons (Acts 10:34) and we have the promise to receive anything we desire including wealth (Mark 11:24), why is it that some believers do not have wealth?

1. We lack the tool we need to receive wealth. The tool is faith. Accompanying faith is patience. Some may start strong in faith but, after time has passed, some believers begin to doubt. Doubt contaminates faith. (Hebrews 6:12; James 1:6)

2. Wrong motives. James 4:3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. Our motives should be to advance the Kingdom of God and impact the world.

3. Unfaithfulness in little. If we are not faithful in what we have now, how can we expect God to dispense an abundance of wealth in our lives. Our test is passed when we’re faithful in little. (Luke 16:10)

Let’s renew our minds on the changes we need to make to receive our inheritance to advance the Kingdom of God, impact the world, and enhance the quality of our lives.
