“For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance.” (Matt. 13:12)

We serve a God who supplies more than enough! In fact, one verse says it is, “a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over!” (Luke 6:38)

God Gives You the Power to Get Wealth!

“And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth…” (Deut. 8:18)

Notice that this verse says it is God who gives you the “power to get wealth.” He doesn’t simply drop it out of the sky for you. You have a part in getting it.

You Must “Remember the Lord Your God”

Include God and put Him first in every part of the process (Matt. 6:33). Ask Him for wisdom and knowledge so that you will know what to do to obtain it (Matt. 7:7). He will give you productive ideas, talents, personal skills, gifts, and opportunities that will help you.

You must look for them, recognize them, develop them, and put them to work!

Keep in mind that even though God promises to supply all your needs (Phil. 4:19), it is usually disguised as work!

Therefore

Work hard with a good attitude, as though you are working for the Lord. After all, everything you need will come from Him!

“Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” (Col. 3:23–24)

“For whoever has, to him more shall be given, and he will have an abundance.” (Matt. 13:12)

A farmer once said, “When I give God a shovel, He gives me one back—but His shovel is a lot bigger than mine!” That’s a perfect picture of how God works. You can never outgive or out-bless Him. When you sow in faith and honor Him first, He multiplies your efforts and supplies far more than you could ever produce on your own.

“And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth.” (Deut. 8:18)

Notice that it doesn’t say God drops wealth out of the sky. He gives you power—the ability, ideas, energy, and opportunities—to produce it.

You must remember the Lord your God

Include God and put Him first in every part of the process (Matthew 6:33). Ask Him for wisdom and direction in what you do (Matthew 7:7). He will give you productive ideas, talents, skills, and opportunities to help you succeed. Your part is to recognize them, develop them, and put them to work!

Work hard with a good attitude, as though you are working for the Lord.

After all, everything you need ultimately comes from Him!

Therefore

When you put God first, work diligently, and trust His promises, you’ll find that His supply always exceeds your need. He is the God of more than enough!
