TUHAN INGIN ANDA MENJADI KAYA

Berkat Tuhanlah yang menjadikan kaya, susah payah tidak akan menambahinya (Amsal 10:22)

Ada yang menyebar harta, tetapi bertambah kaya, ada yang menghemat secara luar biasa, namun selalu berkekurangan. Siapa banyak memberi berkat, diberi kelimpahan, siapa memberi minum, ia sendiri akan diberi minum (AMSAL 11:24 -25)

Berkat Tuhanlah yang menjadikan kaya, susah payah tidak akan menambahinya (Amsal 10:22)

Satu hal yang harus kita ingat bahwa kekayaan itu bukan hanya dinilai dari materi
banyak persfektif kekayaan
seperti kaya akan kasih
kekayaan intelektual
seperti komunitas Alkitab ini yang kaya akan Firman Tuhan
dll

Tuhan inginkan orang-orang pilihannya menjadi kaya untuk saluran berkat bagi kerajaan surga di bumi ini

  Argumentasi berdasarkan Kitab Suci.

1)   Ayat-ayat Kitab Suci yang  menunjukkan bahwa kita adalah anak-anak Allah (Yoh 1:12  Roma 8:14-17  Gal 3:26  dsb).

2)   Ayat-ayat Kitab Suci yang menceritakan tentang orang beriman yang diberkati oleh Tuhan sehingga menjadi kaya. kita mengambil cerita-cerita tentang tokoh-tokoh Perjanjian Lama yang adalah orang beriman dan sekaligus adalah orang kaya. Misal­nya: Daud, Salomo, Ayub, Abraham, Ishak, Yakub dsb. Mereka lalu mengatakan bahwa orang-orang itu beriman dan taat kepada Tuhan, dan karena itu mereka diberkati oleh Tuhan sehingga menjadi kaya. Jadi, kalau kita beriman dan taat kepada Tuhan, kita pasti juga menjadi kaya.

3)   Ayat-ayat Perjanjian Lama yang menunjukkan bahwa Tuhan berjanji akan memberikan berkat jasmani yang berkelimpahan kepada orang yang mentaati Dia, yang memberikan persembahan perpuluhan dsb.
Misalnya: Im 26:1-13  Ul 28:1-14  Amsal 3:9-10  Maleakhi 3:10-12 .
Berkata bahwa Firman Tuhan berlaku kekal dan Tuhan tidak pernah berdusta / melanggar janjiNya, sehingga pada jaman inipun janji-janji itu berlaku dan pasti akan Tuhan genapi, asal kita beriman dan taat kepadaNya!

4)   Ayat-ayat Perjanjian Baru seperti:

• Mat 6:33 - “Tetapi carilah dahulu Kerajaan Allah dan kebenarannya, maka semuanya itu akan ditambahkan kepadamu”.

Ayat ini menjanjikan bahwa Tuhan akan menambah­kan /  memberikan ‘semuanya’ (yang mereka artikan sebagai ‘kekayaan’)  kepada kita, asal kita mencari Kerajaan Allah dan kebenarannya.

• Yoh 10:10 - “Pencuri datang hanya untuk mencuri dan membunuh dan membinasakan; Aku datang, supaya mereka mempunyai hidup, dan mempunyainya dalam segala kelimpahan”.

Ayat ini mengatakan bahwa Yesus datang supaya kita mempunyai ‘hidup yang berkelimpahan’ .

• 2Kor 8:9 - “Karena kamu telah mengenal kasih karunia Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus, bahwa Ia, yang oleh karena kamu menjadi miskin, sekalipun Ia kaya, supaya kamu menjadi kaya oleh karena kemiskinanNya”.

• 2Kor 9:6 - “Camkanlah ini: Orang yang menabur sedikit, akan menuai sedikit juga, dan orang yang menabur banyak, akan menuai banyak juga”.

Ayat ini mengatakan bahwa orang yang menabur sedikit akan menuai sedikit dan orang yang menabur banyak akan menuai banyak.

Lukas 19:13
/Ia memanggil sepuluh orang hambanya dan memberikan sepuluh mina kepada mereka, katanya: Pakailah ini untuk berdagang sampai aku datang kembali.*
Bagaimana Tuhan memperkaya umatNya
bagaimana cara Tuhan mempercayaai kekayaan Surga diBumi

Apa anda merasa susah payah menjadi kaya?......................
Apa Tuhan menambah kesusahan kepada anda ketika mencapai kekayaan itu?...........
O…. tidak…!
Kenapa? ......


Ulangan 8:18
Tetapi haruslah engkau ingat kepada TUHAN, Allahmu, sebab Dialah yang memberikan kepadamu kekuatan untuk memperoleh kekayaan, dengan maksud meneguhkan perjanjian yang diikrarkan-Nya dengan sumpah kepada nenek moyangmu, seperti sekarang ini.

Make Your Way Prosperous

HAPPY BLESSED SUNDAY..

“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success”
(Joshua 1:8, NKJV)

God is a good God, and He has good things in store for you! He has given you the power and the plan to experience life, health, peace and blessing in every area of your life. When we live in obedience to His Word, when we put Him first in every area, Scripture promises that our way will be prosperous, and we will experience success.
Notice how the promise in today’s verse starts. It says do not let His Word depart from your mouth. In other words, we have to declare His Word in order to set the blessing into motion. When we declare His Word, it empowers us to obey His Word, and then we will see the success He promises.
Today, make declaring His Word a priority. Set aside time each day to speak His promises over your life. As you do, you are setting His blessing in motion, and you will make your way prosperous and find success in all you do.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father God, thank You for Your Word which is truth that sets me free. I honor You and hold Your Words close to my heart. Thank You for giving me the plan to live in blessing in every area of my life. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

KEEP TRUSTING

It says in 1 Peter 1:5-7,

Who are kept by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.  In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

 One of the critical things you and I need to do when faced with trials is continue to trust God in the midst of those trials.

No matter how difficult, do not unplug your faith, even when things get rough.  Keep trusting God and His promises.

 Why?  Well, look at what verse 5 says:  We are "kept by the power of God through faith."

When you keep your faith plugged in, you are then kept by God's power.

That word keep means to preserve.  It means to protect, to guard.  It is used elsewhere in Scripture of a garrison of soldiers protecting something.  When you are going through a trial, God will protect you through His power when you trust Him.

That word power is the same word in the Bible translated miracle.  I take it to mean this:  When you or I are in a season of trial, if God has to work a miracle to keep us and protect us, He will do it.

Whatever your trial…keep trusting. God Bless You.

FAITH IS AN INVITATION MORE THAN A COMMAND

Faith is a command. It is written, “The just shall live by faith.” Without faith it is impossible to please God. Scripture adds, “If any man draw back, I will have no pleasure in him” (Hebrews 10:38).

I shudder when I think of the terror and dangers of unbelief. Unbelief is a bottomless pit of fear, anguish and discouragement. The consequences of unbelief are horrendous. It begins with fearing what we cannot see. One fear today leads to two fears tomorrow, then three, and then fears become a bottomless pit of uncontrollable anguish and despair.

More and more I see that fear and unbelief end up as hopelessness. It leads into a wilderness of confusion and emptiness. It is not an option—it is not a small issue with God. It is a matter of life and death. It will lead to fearing everything, present and future. Fear is torment.

All God’s children are enduring afflictions and troubles of various kinds. It is heartrending to hear the painful things the righteous are now suffering. My family is also being severely tried and tested.

Some who face overwhelming and frightful sufferings, both physical and spiritual, are losing heart. If you are going through the refining fires, I have a word for you.

FAITH IS ALSO AN INVITATION TO PARTAKE OF THE GREAT GOODNESS OF THE LORD.

I refer you to one of the most encouraging promises in all of God’s Word. Let this promise sink deep into your soul:

“Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues” (Psalm 31:19-20).

Here is great encouragement to hold steadfast in your faith. Here is a bold, glorious promise. God says, “You trust me before men and I will open my storehouse of great goodness and pour it on you. I will hide you in the secret of my presence; I will not allow strife to overwhelm you.”

Some may say, “We ought not trust God to obtain goodness from him.” Not so! It is also written, “Cast not away therefore your confidence, for it has a great recompence of reward” (Hebrews 10:35). It is also written, “He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). We must believe that he is a rewarder. Those rewards of faith are spiritual goodnesses, such as rewards of strength—peace and calm in the storm.

Oh beloved, God rejoices in our faith. He awaits to give us hope and open our eyes to his loving care. The decision is ours to make—even this moment. It is within our power to choose to trust God in our present and future trials. It is either the wilderness of despair or the smile of the Lord and an open heaven.

God help us all to hold fast our faith. Do not give up. We are too close to the end of the race.

“Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance. I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye” (Psalm 32:7-8).

What God Calls You

“And the angel of the LORD appeared to him and said to him, ‘The LORD is with you, O mighty man of valor’ ”

(Judges 6:12, ESV)

In scripture, God called Gideon a mighty man of fearless courage. Now Gideon looked around and said, “God couldn’t be talking about me. I come from the poorest family. I’m the least one in my father’s house.” Gideon saw himself as weak, defeated, and not able. But God saw him as strong, confident, and being more than a conqueror.

The question is are we going to believe what God says about us, or are we going to believe what we feel, what we think, or what the circumstances look like? You may feel weak today, but God calls you strong. You may feel like a victim, but God calls you a victor. You may be afraid, but God calls you confident. You may be in debt, God calls you prosperous. You may be sick, God calls you well. You may be addicted, God calls you free. You may feel inadequate, but God calls you well able.

Today, get into agreement with God. No matter what the circumstances look like, you’ve got to dig your heels in and say, “God, I agree with what You call me. I’m free, forgiven and healed in Jesus’ Name!”

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God, thank You for loving me and calling me Your own. I choose to receive Your Word which is life, health and strength to me. Fill me with Your peace and wisdom. I set my thoughts on You. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Shalom..
