Everything We Have Was Received

THE BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE
The earth is the Lord’s. The silver is His. The gold is His. The land is His. The animals are His. Riches and honor come from Him. He gives freely to his people the power to obtain wealth. He gives the increase. Everything we possess was received from Him so nothing we ever receive can have a shaddow of turning or added sorrow as it’s all his, and even when we give unto the Lord, we are giving Him what was already His. Praise Him!
“For all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.” — 1 Chronicles 29:14
