God designed you to be rich, with lots of money. True say! Yet God does not want money to have you in its grip. The design is that true riches are precious, this is why God does not want us to put our money to the swine. Rather, God wants us to put our money in what we consider to be the most valuable of all things- our faith!

Our faith? Yes, our faith. The idea of God’s heart is that our hope never migrates from God to the money that we own because if our hope migrates to our money, then it would be hard to let go of our resources; it would be difficult to put our resources to the use of the Gospel. We are either trusting in uncertain riches or we are trusting in our certain God who richly gives us all things.

The picture in God’s heart suggests that our resources should be used to lay up treasures for ourselves where things cannot be corrupted. You see, we already are seated together with Him beyond the corruption that is in the world and if there is one way to reflect this positional reality, it is in the use of our money. It does not make for sound spiritual intelligence to be seated beyond the corruptions of this world and not have your money reflect this.

We encourage you to join us all through this Series. Here we will share with you the design in God’s heart for riches and wealth.
