God Gives Power to Get Wealth



God Gives Power to Get Wealth

Text: Deuteronomy 8:18


Introduction

  • People often think wealth comes from their hard work, education, or smart ideas.

  • But the Bible clearly says: “It is He that gives you power to get wealth.”

  • Our success and provision are tied to God’s covenant and purpose.


Main Points

1. Remember the Source (Faithfulness)

  • “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God…”

  • Danger: Prosperity can make us forget God. (Deut. 8:11–14)

  • Example: Israel in the wilderness — God provided manna, water, and clothes that never wore out.

  • Application: Acknowledge God daily in your work, business, and resources.


2. God Gives the Power (Ability)

  • Wealth is not only money but ideas, opportunities, skills, health, and favor.

  • He gives wisdom to create, innovate, and prosper (Proverbs 8:12, James 1:17).

  • Application: Pray for God’s wisdom in every business decision, career step, or financial plan.


3. Wealth with Purpose (Covenant)

  • “…that He may establish His covenant…”

  • God blesses His people to advance His Kingdom, not just to satisfy personal desires.

  • Abraham’s blessing: “You will be a blessing to many nations.” (Genesis 12:2–3)

  • Application: Use wealth for generosity, missions, helping the poor, and supporting God’s work.


Conclusion

  • True prosperity is not just what you have, but how it fulfills God’s purpose.

  • Remember: Wealth is a gift of God, and we are stewards, not owners.

  • If you want lasting prosperity:

    1. Acknowledge God as your source.

    2. Seek His wisdom.

    3. Use wealth for His Kingdom.


Closing Verse

Proverbs 10:22 – “The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.”
