Praying for money

(Matthew 6:25-33)
Money is a necessary part of living this in this world. We must have money
to survive. The Bible has lots to say about money.
Many who
read this are not having any problems with their finances, while others are
struggling. Some people have been blessed with a tremendous abundance of
resources and other people have virtually nothing. Regardless if you find
yourself today with a surplus of money or without any at all, never forget
that it is God who is your source and it is God who supplies your every need
throughout this life. God knows and understands the basic necessities of
life like food, shelter and clothing.
Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and
all these things will be given to you as well." The original Greek of this
verse says that our number one goal in life must be to be a member of God's
Kingdom and be perfectly holy, in God's sight, just as He is. WOW! That is
powerful and puts in perfect perspective what our true goals in this life
must be. To be a member of God's Kingdom and be perfectly holy in God's
sight.
However, tying into today's message on finances is an incredible truth from
God's Word found in this verse that many people miss and never connect. The
end of Matthew 6:33 says, "...and all these things will be given to you as
well." What things? The necessities of life that were spoken about in the
preceding verses, food, shelter, and clothing. What God is saying is that
if you will seek Me, seek My Kingdom, seek My righteousness, I'm going to
take care of your day to day necessities of life. God is saying to you
today, "be about My business and I'll be about your business."
I want to encourage you and pray for
you today. For those of you that God has blessed financially, never forget
that to whom much is given, much is required. For those of you who are
facing great financial obstacles in your life today, now is the time to make
your faith real and trust that God will provide as He promised in His Word.
Even if you don't have great financial wealth, you are still accountable to
God for what He does bring into your hands, so be faithful with what He
provides.
Whatever we have in this life has been given to us by God and belongs to
Him. We are simply stewards of what He has put into our care. I pray that
you will seek the Lord and get His wisdom and discernment in how you can
always be a good steward of the resources that He has entrusted to you. God
wants to use you regardless of the amount of money you have to be a blessing
to others. The Bible has much to say about the care of the poor. We
immediately think of the poor as being those who have no money, but this
also includes the spiritually poor, those people who are living without the
hope and love of Christ in their life. Everyone can do something with what
God has given you to be a blessing to those who are financially poor as well
as those who are spiritually poor.
I want to pray for you right now , a prayer of blessing over your finances.
"Father, I pray today for each person that is reading these words. You know
exactly where they are at today financially. I pray that whatever they have
today is multiplied many times over in the coming weeks and months. Bless
them in the area of their finances Father so that they may not only care for
their day to day needs of those they are responsible for, but so that they
may feed the poor around the word, those who are materially poor as well as
those who are spiritually poor. I pray today a prayer of BLESSING on the
finances of the person reading these words. Whatever we have in this life
comes from you and is yours Father. May we be faithful in managing what you
have given to us. Multiply many times over what you have currently given to
the person reading this word today and allow them to be a great blessing to
the work of God throughout the world. I pray BLESSINGS over the finances of
the person reading these words today for the glory of Almighty God. In the
name of Jesus, AMEN!"
