THE SECRET OF FINANCIAL INCREASE
Luke 16:10-12 KJV
“He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?”
Here lies one of my most favorite scripture in the bible. It answers a whole lot of questions that you may have concerning increase in any area of life. It contains the secret of your next level blessing by God. It holds the conditions we must fulfill for God to become interested in our prosperity.
The principle is very simple. God does not bless unfaithfulness. God does not reward waste at any level. God uses your faithfulness in small things to determine if you will be able to manage much. Anyone who cannot manage little or small things will not be able to manage large things. It explains why many people have not become great and may never become great. You must pass the test of small in flying colours over and over again to qualify for much, or to move to the top. What you do with small is a clear statement of what you will do with much. So, you can be your own examiner and judge.
There are three areas God demands faithfulness:
i. Faithfulness in Small:
I have already talked about this in the previous paragraph. You cannot rise above your ability to manage and handle small things. Failure in small things is a clear indication that you will fail in big things.
ii. Faithfulness in Money Matters:
This is the ultimate test for everyone. Whoever fails the money test will fail any other test. A dishonest person with money is automatically exempted from greatness. If money changes your character and attitude, then God will see to it that you do not rise, less you die or destroy yourself. You are mature when money is safe with you, when you don’t tell stories with money matters, when people can trust you with money, and when money does not destroy your character.
iii. Faithfulness in Another Man’s Business:
As an employee, the future of your financial life is already determined. Many employees will either never be able to successfully run their own businesses or never be able to own one in the first place because of how they treat their current job which is another man’s business.
Action Points
i. Do a personal assessment of your level of faithfulness by scoring yourself over three.
ii. Ask God to baptize you with the virtue of faithfulness especially in matters of finances.
Prayer
-Lord please heal all forms of unfaithfulness in my life in Jesus Name.
Nugget
God uses your faithfulness in small things to determine if you will be able to manage much.
