Power to Get Wealth

Hosea 4:6"My people are destroyed (cut off) for lack of knowledge." You must be convinced from the Word of God that he wants you to prosper and succeed. The desire for prosperity should not be born out of greed, but from a revelation of the Heart and Word of God. The heart of God is revealed through His word. III John 2 says "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth." Notice that God wants prosperity for the total person, and He takes pleasure in your prosperity. He wants you to prosper with a purpose. He longs to establish His covenant on the earth with you. Part of God's redemptive plan included Jesus Christ becoming poor that you might be rich as the Word says(II Cor 8:9). When and where did Jesus become poor? At the crucifixion. You need to know that every Great Achievement requires a willingness to begin small. An oak tree began as an acorn. A six foot man began as a tiny embryo in his mother's womb. Start with whatever  you have. That's your starting point. Do not be like the man in the Bible who had one talent and refused to use it.  Jesus began in a stable, but he did not stay there. David had a slingshot, but became a King. Joseph was sold as a slave, but became the Prime Minister of Egypt. The widow of Zarephath had a small pancake, but she sowed it into the work of God and created a continuous supply during the famine. Whatever you have been given is enough to create anything you have been promised. "Jesus said, where unto shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: but when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shootheth out great branches: so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it." Mark 4:30-32.
