Financial and Material Supply
People who truly believe in God would never doubt His ability. They would say with confidence that He is powerful and that nothing is impossible for Him. But when it comes to the miracles or supernatural breakthroughs needed, especially in the area of finances, doubt quickly arises.
Many have be been taught to be suspicious of the suggestion that God wants to provide money or anything material to people. God is put into mysterious terms, where His sovereignty trumps His promises, and where the truly mature believer settles for less. Holiness is seen as being content and poor, or somewhere in the middle.
But scriptures seem to contradict this idea.
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:19)
And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. (2 Cor. 9:8, NLT)
His and Ours
God made everything, and everything belongs to Him. God owns everything in this world.
The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein. (Psalm 24:1, NKJV)
“The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,” says the LORD of hosts. (Haggai 2:8, NKJV)
When God talks about owning the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), He’s not just saying that He owns some animals. He’s demonstrating that He is the creator and owner of all of the wealth in the world.
When God created man, He said, “…let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” (Genesis 1:26)
Everything God has created has been given to us. God owns it all, and He gives to us out of His own abundance. We have been given everything we need pertaining to life (2 Peter 1:3). We just have to start exercising our dominion.
Calling In Blessing
Just as God has the power to bless and curse, we also have the power to bless and curse. We can speak words of life, which call in supply and abundance; or we can speak words of death which call in poverty and lack.
You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father. Yes, ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it! (John 14:13–14, NLT)
God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. (Romans 4:17, NKJV)
God has infinite resources at His disposal, and He uses them to meet our needs and to bless us. God is greater than any business, government, or economy. It doesn’t matter how much doom and gloom there is in the media, or what the experts say. God owns everything, and gives us the needed resources when we call on Him…even money.
