Scripture: James 3:4
You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures.
Yesterday we established that the problem was not in making money but spending the money.
It is important to preserve our kingdom blessings and keep it ever flowing. We must learn the act of wise spending. This is what we call financial intelligence. Learning the act of utilizing the resources God committed into your hands.
To keep it flowing, God must trust you to properly use it.
Today, we are looking at the number 2 ways to spend kingdom wealth and keep it flowing.
Be purposeful in your spending.
One way to attract kingdom resources is to be purposeful in your spending. Money naturally flows on the direction of purpose. God is committed to his purpose for your life than your plans. Money flows into your purpose. Kingdom finance is always properly directed to attract it. You must be purpose driving and to keep it flowing, you must be purposeful in your spending.
Kingdom finance is not to finance your pleasure, but his purpose for your life. Our scriptures said, “you don’t have because you asked wrongly…” What is “wrongly”? The same scripture also describe what it meant by wrongly. The scripture concluded, you don’t have because you have concluded to spend it on your pleasures.
Purpose is a major factor in attracting wealth. What is the reason behind the millions you are praying for, Why do u want to be rich, what is your motivation?
When purpose is not why you are praying for wealth, you will have to wait for a long time and if the wealth is release the only thing that will keep its flow is when you spend purposefully.
To purposefully spend is to be intentional with your spending. Like allowing first kingdom motivates your spending. To be purposeful in spending is to be kingdom conscious and to have kingdom’s priorities. It is to make first, second and even third in your spending structure kingdom.
Kingdom wealth is not to satisfy pleasure but to promote the kingdom. When you are purposeful, kingdom wealth will naturally flow to your direction.
This is a wake up call to someone this morning. If all the money and wealth you have been praying for is to satisfy your pleasure or show up to people around you, it is time to redirect your focus and purpose . I see wealth flowing into your purpose this morning.
Declaration
Today, I am purpose driven in my expectations. Heaven is finacing my purpose. I can never be broke in my life. My day is blessed.
