Where Do You Find The Power To Get Wealth?

16 He gave you manna to eat in the desert, something your fathers had never known, to humble and to test you so that in the end it might go well with you.
17 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.”
18 But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.
Deuteronomy 8:16-18(NIV)

The above passage is a part of the message given by Moses to the Israelites before they entered the land promised to them. Moses was reminding his people that God has provided for all their needs throughout the journey to a land that will make them very rich.

He also cautioned that after they settled at the land, they would become so rich that they will say that they got rich by their own efforts. In Verse 18, Moses reminded them in advance that the Lord is the one who gave them the ability to produce wealth in fulfillment of his promise to their ancestor.

This is the foundation text for this article. God is the one who gives us the power to create wealth. If you want to be rich, go to God for this power. The above passage reminds us that our God wants all his people to be rich. He also wants us to always remember that the power to create wealth comes from him.

How do we benefit from this?

First, we know where to go to if we want to get rich. God has all the power that can create as much wealth as we desire. So, there is no better place to go to other than God. I am sure the theologians and doctrine worshippers will say that it is not right to seek God to be rich. However, the truth is God himself told us that he wants us rich and he has the power to do so. Why would God want to say that if he does not want us to go to him to acquire this power?

Therefore, as Christians we should not be ashamed with our God. We worship the God of heaven and earth stated in the Bible, not doctrines nor theology. We are called to be rich. Our destiny is riches in every area of our lives.

Secondly, the power to create wealth implies our roles in putting this power into action. This means work. We still have to work to get rich. The prosperity from the Bible does not mean that we can just sit down there believing we will be rich and money will start dropping from the sky. We must still continue to do our routine jobs.

This means if you are working in a job, continue to work. If you are running a business, keep running it. If you are a student, study. The difference here is, when you are working or studying, work or study with the assurance that God is now working behind the scenes to bring prosperity in what you do. Our role is to keep doing our jobs in alignment with God’s prosperity plan. God cannot bring prosperity to your job if you quit your job and stay at home.

When we work and see prosperity coming into our lives, we may be misled into thinking that it is our efforts alone that has created our wealth. This is the warning given by Moses in the above passage. So, we should regularly remind ourselves that God is the source of our prosperity. You may be the one who ploughed the fields and sowed the seeds but God causes them to grow into a bountiful harvest. Without God’s intervention, you may still have a harvest but it may not be that bountiful.

In conclusion, it is crucial for our prosperity that we must always remember God as the true source of our prosperity. The power to create wealth comes from God.

Wealth Is A Crown For The Wise

24 Wealth is a crown for the wise; the effort of fools yields only foolishness.
Proverbs 14:24 (NLT)

The above verse is about wisdom. What is the popular view on wise men? When it comes to wise men, I used to have an impression on men who lived in semi poverty in monasteries or caves. Somehow poverty and wisdom always come together at least according to Hollywood. So, if you want to be wise you must be prepared to be poor. If you want to be rich, then forget about being wise. According to popular culture, prosperity and wisdom seem to be mutually exclusive.

Thank God, the above verse says otherwise. The first part of the verse says wealth is a crown for the wise. This means wise people are always rich. This may be contrary to the teachings of Hollywood and theology but it is still the truth. The above verse gives us a clear truth that wisdom and wealth always come together. If you have wisdom, you will have wealth. You will live in a luxurious palace, not caves nor monastery.

In case some one may ask what is wealth, the answer is riches in every area of life, including having a lot of money. Unlike the theologians, God is not ashamed in wanting us, his people to be rich in every area of our lives and he has given us wisdom as a tool to acquire them. This is also why I am not ashamed of being completely honest in declaring that my desire is to have a lot of money coming into my life. Since God himself is not ashamed of what he wants, why should I?

Having said all these, I have a disclaimer here. While it is true that wise people are destined to be rich, it does not mean that they do not have setbacks in their lives. During those setbacks, they may not look rich. Christians can begin their spiritual journey in poverty or get into poverty as a setback but they will eventually get out of it through their faith in God, in particular through the application of God’s wisdom.

So, do not despise people when they are poor. Many godly men like Kenneth Copeland, Jerry Savelle and John Osteen were poor when they started their ministries but they ended up rich because they have acquired the wisdom of God.

We should be encouraged by their testimonies. This is why I like the preaching of real preachers like Kenneth Copeland and Jerry Savelle. They are not just preaching from some textbooks, they are telling the stories of their lives. These men have lived the lives of faith themselves. Their teachings are proven in their lives. If their teachings can work for them, it must be able to work for us as well. This is also why we should rejoice when church leaders get rich as long as their riches are obtained legally. They are setting examples for us to follow.

Do not be like the carnal minded people who got jealous when they see Christian leaders get rich as though it is some sort of crime. All Christians regardless of their leadership position are called to be wealthy and being wealthy includes having a lot of money. So, do not be ashamed in admitting that as a Christian, you have the desire to get rich.

The second part of the verse tells us that the effort of fools yields only foolishness. The term “fools” here refers to those who has the opposite of wisdom. The fools can make a lot of effort but they will not get any permanent results. It must be referring to the theologians. So, don’t be a fool.

Be wise and be rich.

Your Gates Will Stay Open Around The Clock To Receive The Wealth Of Many Lands.

11 Your gates will stay open around the clock to receive the wealth of many lands. The kings of the world will be led as captives in a victory procession.
Isaiah 60:11 (NLT)

I am putting my study of 2 Samuel on hold in order to focus deeper on God’s calling for me to get rich in Year 2009. You can expect to read many more articles from me on getting rich. There is no better time than now to get rich because in this year we are supposed to be in the worst global recession that has ever happened. There are 2 major reasons why.

First, when we get rich in a time where people are supposed to be poorer, we will get notice. People will start to wonder how do we get rich in a recession and they will want to know what do we have in common. They will find out that all of us serve a true and loving God who produces real results. All religions have their own gods and they attributed all types of characteristics to their gods but ours is the only one who can produce real results. Our God is not like other gods who can only promise things that cannot be proven. Our God dares to make real promises like physical health and wealth, which can be subjected to scrutiny. In other words, our God dares to stick his neck out.

So, when we get rich we are not only bringing glory to our God, we are drawing souls to him. When there are sufficient numbers of Christians getting rich, the Gospel is proclaimed so loud and clear throughout the world. This is something where no evangelists or missionaries can ever achieve. Get rich for the sake of lost souls.

Secondly, this is the time where many rich become poor and the poor become even poorer. They need help. Who else but us can help them? We need to get richer in order to help more people and show them the love of our God.

How do we get rich? I would like to suggest reading Isaiah 60. The whole chapter contains the impression of prosperity. It is a prophecy that was released when Israel was in a bad shape. Yet, that did not stop God from giving them a very positive picture of their future. Why would God want to do that? The answer is he wants us to fill our minds with positive thoughts. In other words, he wants us to have faith.

I like the above verse. It says our gates will stay open around the clock to receive the wealth of many lands. The kings of the world will be led as captives in a victory procession. This tells us that we should not just settle for the minimal for ourselves. The desire to have just enough money to live comfortably is selfish. God does not want us to have enough money just for ourselves. He wants us to be overflow with riches that we will have the capacity to be a blessing to others. He wants us to think big. He wants our gates to stay open around the clock to receive the wealth of many lands. He wants us to have exceedingly and abundantly. Our gates will not be able to close because there are too many deliveries of wealth into our house. Our mailboxes will always be jammed with envelopes containing checks for us. We will be very rich.

Will you obey him? If you do, you should start believing in the arrival of wealth into your life. You can read in many places of the Bible that God had always informed his people of the arrival of his blessings before the blessings physically took place. Why is that so? It seems like God wants us to use our faith to receive them. You need to know that God is not a tyrant. He will not force things on us, even good things like blessings. He wants us to have a choice on whether we want to receive his blessings and we give our approval through our faith. When we use our faith to receive our blessings, we are like putting a tick on the box that says “I agree to receive the blessings” on God’s blessing form. We will get those blessings.

Being in faith means allowing the words of God to occupy our minds as often as we can. The above verse is a good verse to start. Start believing that a lot of money is on its way to your bank account. A lot of checks are on their way to your mailbox. You only have to focus on the end result, which is a lot of money in your bank account. You do not need to worry about how God is going to fulfill his promise. God knows how to do his job.

This is true even if you are physically poor right now. You may be jobless, burdened with a mountain of debt or any other bad things you can think of. God is more than capable to make you rich despite all those obstacles. He had done that many times before in the Bible and he can do it again. The question here is, are you willing to put your trust in him? Are you willing to believe that your gates will stay open around the clock to receive the wealth of many lands?

Are you willing to believe that God will fulfill his promise to make you very rich even if the present physical situation around you tells you the opposite? If you do, you are living by faith.

Wealth And Good Deeds Of The Godly

3 They themselves will be wealthy, and their good deeds will last forever.
Psalm 112:3 (NLT)

Welcome to the third installment on my study of Psalm 112. In this article, we have come to a verse that religious people would love to add in the magic word “spiritual” on it. Why? God promised wealth to his people and the word “spiritual” is not there. This means God wants all believers to be wealthy. In the mind of God, it is natural for us believers to live wealthy lives.

This is the opposite of what religious churches believe in. According to their religious doctrines, the riches from God can cover anything as long as that thing cannot physically exist. Since physical wealth like money can physically exist, it is not from God. The idea of asking God for money is a blasphemy to them. If you show them the above verse, they will add in the magic word “spiritual” to it.

Let us move to the next part. Why do you think God wants us to be rich? If you think God makes you rich for you to have a good life like living like a king, you are right but there is more. He expects good deeds from us and he promised that the result from our good deeds will last forever.

Please don’t get me wrong. God has no problem with us wanting to live good lives. I remember when I shared that I want to be rich to help the poor, some religious people were skeptical and they questioned whether my true motive is to live like a king, as though it is a sin to do so. Here is my reply to them: I have no problem on wanting to live like a king. If I want to live like a king, I will use my faith to receive all the money I need to finance this lifestyle. I don’t need to use helping the poor as an excuse to be rich.

I would like to highlight to you the 2 parts of riches. They are:
1. The right to be rich.
2. The application and purpose of our riches.

Our rights to be rich are guaranteed by Jesus’ death at the Cross. It cannot be changed. If you are a Christian you have the right to unlimited riches because at the Cross, Jesus died poor for you to live rich. There is absolutely no need for us to come up with excuses like wanting to help the poor to manipulate God to make us rich. God has already decided in the above verse that it is his will for us to be rich. All we need to do is to agree with him and build up our faith in order to increase our ability to receive wealth from him.

We also need to have specific application and purpose for our riches. While there is nothing wrong wanting to live like a king, we need a much larger purpose if we are interested in receiving greater wealth from God. This purpose must surpass our own selfish desires. It must be able to reach out to bless the people around us. Only then, will we become God’s channel of blessing to the world. When we function as channels, we will have God’s blessings coming to us before we distribute them to others. To put it in a simple way, we will receive a lot of money and give out a lot of money.

God promised us that our good deeds will last forever. There will be rewards for our faithfulness in obeying God. When we become God’s channel of blessings, not only are we able to live like kings, we will also be eligible for rewards on Judgment Day. On that day, while religious people trembled in fear of punishments, we the believers of God can wait in expectation on rewards.

Isn’t it great to trust God?

True Godliness With Contentment Is Itself Great Wealth

6 Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth.
1 Timothy 6:6 (NLT)

This must be among the most abused and misquoted verse in the Bible. Religious people used this verse to pervert the Gospel in their attempt to convince us that God wants us to remain where we are and he does not want us to improve ourselves. Religious people are against us using the Bible for our self-improvements. They have very perverted views on living Christ-centered lives. In their view, if you seek to be richer, healthier and improve yourself, you are being self-centered and not Christ-centered. They will tell you to learn contentment and use 1 Timothy 6:6 as a basis of their views.

So, the question is, are they right? In this article, I will reveal the true meaning of 1 Timothy 6:6 and at the same time expose the enemies’ attempt to twist our scriptures for their perversion. There are 3 key points in this verse I would like to explore. There are:
1. True godliness
2. Contentment
3. Great Wealth

True godliness
True godliness is to be like God. God is rich in every area in his life. He has great wisdom, perfect health, abundant in wealth, healthy mind and basically the best in every area we can think of. Godliness is to be like God. When we strive to be godly, we are striving to improve ourselves to be better and better. This means we are working towards having greater wisdom, better health, more wealth, healthier minds and improve in every area in our lives that we find lacking.

So, true godliness means a continuous process of self-improvements. I am not ashamed of wanting to have more and more money to come to my bank account because it is a part of true godliness. Religious people may threaten me with hell for wanting to get rich but God doesn’t. In God’s view, I am practising true godliness.

Contentment
Contentment does not mean stagnation. If you were born in a poor family, it does not mean that God wants you to remain poor and have no desire to get rich. God has no problem in people moving from rags to riches. The true meaning of contentment here is to be satisfied. Satisfied with what?

According to 1 Timothy 6:6, we are to be satisfied or contented with true godliness. This means we are at peace and have confidence that we are on the path of improvements. We are on our path to receive greater prosperity in every area in our lives. This is the true meaning of contentment.

Great Wealth
God does not want us just to have wealth. He wants us to have great wealth. It is not enough for us to have wealth for ourselves but also wealth to bless others. We are blessed to be blessings to others around us.

When we have true godliness with contentment, we have great wealth. In other words, our wealth is going to be great. It is very clear that God’s intention is for us not just to be rich, but to have great riches.

In conclusion, 1 Timothy 6:6 is another verse in the Bible that tells us that our God wants us to be very rich.

Honor The Lord With Your Wealth

9 Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce.
10 Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.
Proverbs 3:9-10 (NLT)

The above passage is about honoring God. Proverbs 3:9 tells us that the Lord wants us to honor him with our wealth and the best part of everything we produce. When we obey, the next verse tells us the result of our obedience. The Lord will fill our barns with grain and our vats will overflow with good wine. What can we learn from this? We shall look deeper into the above verses.

The first part of Proverbs 3:9 tells us to honor the Lord with our wealth. It assumes that we have wealth. If you look into the entire context, the “wealth” here refers to physical wealth. Physical wealth is the type of wealth that can be bought and sold with money. We can also call it “money” or “asset”. This tells us that God wants us rich. There are religious people who persecute, slander and spread lies on Christians who are rich as though being rich is something to be ashamed of. However, Proverbs 3:9 says otherwise. In God’s view, having wealth is so honorable that he wants us to honor him with our wealth. If having wealth is sinful, then Proverbs 3:9 should not have been written in the first place.

Honoring the Lord with our wealth is only half of the message is Proverbs 3:9. In the second half, we are also told to honor him with the best part with everything we produce. This means God takes honor when we achieve the best in the things we do. Please note that I did not say doing your best. I said achieving the best. What is the difference? When people say they will do the best, they are basically saying that they will work up to the limit of their ability and circumstances. So, if you are pay a plumber to “do his best” to fix your toilet, your toilet may not be fixed and you still have to pay because he has fulfill his promise in doing his best.

When the Lord wants us to achieve the best, he wants the results of our works to exceed the limitations of our natural ability and circumstances. He wants us to honor him with the best part of everything we produce. This also means that he takes personal interest in everything we do. In other words, he wants us to achieve the best and honor him with the best.

Next, how do we honor God with our wealth and the best in everything we produce? We honor God by using our wealth and ability to do his will on earth. Here are some examples.

The recent hike in food prices has caused sufferings to millions of poor people across the world. The will of God for these people is to provide for them and ease their sufferings. So, when we give part of our wealth to provide food to the poor, we are effectively doing the will of God. This is an example of honoring God.

Let us go to the “best part of everything you produce”. What are you good in? If you are a teacher, honoring God with the “best part of everything you produce” means going an extra mile in helping your students to be successful even if it is beyond your job scope. Just because you specialize in teaching mathematics does not mean that you must talk about maths all the time with your students. You can teach about self-motivation, developing a no-quit mentality and the strife for excellence. These may not be part of the official subjects under your portfolio and you may not be paid extra for it but you are doing it to honor God because you know God wants your students to live successful lives.

Proverbs 3:10 tells the consequences of honoring the Lord with our wealth and with the best part of everything we produce. The Lord will fill our barns with grain, and our vats will overflow with good wine. There are two parts to our rewards here: grain and good wine.

Let us start with grain. God promised to fill our barns with grain. Grains represent our necessity. It is a staple diet for the people there. Its equivalent in my country is rice. In other words, God promised to provide us with the wealth to meet our needs in life. How much will he provide? Will he just give just enough like the manna in the book of Exodus? The answer is, he will fill our barns with grain. This means he will give us as much as our barns can store. The amount of grain we will receive from God is dependent on the size of our barns. The bigger our barns are, the more grains we will have. This is exceeding prosperity.

The only limit to our prosperity is not God but the size of our barns. The “barn” here represents our mentality. Is your mentality based on abundance or scarcity? It will affect the amount of prosperity you can receive from God. God will never give you more grains than what your barn can store. Otherwise, the grains will be wasted. God wants us to build bigger barns. This means we need to expand our mentality of abundance. Learn to think big. Small minds cannot handle huge wealth. If you have a small mind and have great wealth, you will be crushed by it. So, if you are really interested in receiving abundant prosperity, start expanding your mind. Read the Bible, pray and listen to faith messages. In doing so, the size of your barn will grow.

Why does God want to fill our barns instead of giving us just enough? The main reason he gives us more than enough is because he wants us to continue to use our wealth to honor him. When we have more grains than we need to keep our families alive, we are in position to help others. We will be able to honor God with our wealth to help the poor and bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. When we do that, God will respond by filling up our barns with grain and overflow our vats with good wine again. This virtuous cycle will never end.

The second part of our reward is for our vats to be overflow with good wine. While grain is a necessity in life, wine is a luxury. After all, not one will die from the lack of wine. Wine represents luxury. This tells us that God is not ashamed of us living in luxuries. He even provides them for his people. Religious people may be ashamed with it but not God.

When we honor God with our wealth and the best part of our produce, God will not only provide us with our need in proportion to our barns but he will also give us an unending flow of luxuries in our lives. The ides of our vats overflowing means our supply of wine will never stop. This is the prosperity from God. It is continuous and will never stop flowing. It covers luxuries as well. Our vats will be overflowed with good wine. What does good wine means? I am not a wine expert. The only way I can tell them apart is to look at the price tag. I will assume that the higher the price, the better the wine. The encouragement we can draw from here is, God is not cheap. When he blesses, he bless us with the best.

When we honor him with our wealth and the best of our produce, he will honor us with his wealth and the best of his produce. His wealth is greater than our wealth and the best of his produce is greater than the best of our produce. This is definitely a profitable deal for us.

The Reality Of Money

2And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold.
Genesis 13:2(KJV)

34And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.
35And the LORD hath blessed my master greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses.
Genesis 24:34-35(KJV)

Welcome to another non-faith article of mine. The Bible teaches us a lot about faith and on how to use it for our prosperity. However, this does not mean it is limited to faith alone. There are other truths in it that can benefit us if we bother to study them. In this article, I will show you the concept of money from the Bible and how we can benefit from it. If you have been reading my articles, you will realize that I always write about applications and benefits. I can’t help it because I am an engineer. Engineering is about applications to bring benefits.

Throughout all my articles I have been using the term “money” liberally. In order not to create confusion, I am going to use another term “currency” to refer specifically to cash, the stuff that are printed by governments like US Dollars, Euro, Yen etc. Throughout history, when a civilization reached a certain level, they will have some sort of currency in place. The main functions of currencies are medium of exchange and storage of value.

However, in the Bible, God only recognized the first function and not the second for currencies. I can’t find anywhere in the Bible where God describes anyone as rich for having a lot of currencies. The verses I put above show the typical way a person is described as rich. It also shows us that there are basically 2 categories of wealth. You are considered to be rich as long as you have a lot of either one of them.

I shall name them Organic Wealth and Inorganic Wealth. The examples of Inorganic Wealth are gold and silver. I call them inorganic because they are inanimate. It will never die because it has no life in the first place. When I walked into shops selling ornamental fishes, I found some fishes being sold at the price of a few thousand dollars each. The strange part was people are still buying them. Don’t they know that if the fish died, a few thousand dollars will be gone? You will not have this problem if you buy gold or silver.

The other characteristic of this category of wealth is, it is compact. Unless you are super rich, you don’t need to build a warehouse or a barn to store all your gold. A chest or a box is good enough. As such it is easy to secure and easy to run away with when things go wrong. It is easier to run away with a box of gold than with goats or grains of the same value.

However, the main weakness of Inorganic Wealth is it does not grow. If you keep 1kg of gold in your safe and open it up again 10 years later, you will still see 1 kg of gold.

Furthermore, the Bible never says God will bless your gold and silver. If you read Deuteronomy 28:1-13, the blessing from God covers a lot of area but gold is not among them. In the Bible, gold and silver are seen as the result of prosperity. They are not the origin of prosperity. They will not make you richer. They will preserve but not expand your wealth.

This is where the Organic Wealth comes in to fill the gap. Organic Wealth refers to life assets like cattle, sheep, goats, crops and anything that has the ability to grow. In today’s context, it covers stocks, properties and other businesses. Deuteronomy 28:4 tells us about God’s blessings on all types of Organic Wealth.

4Blessed shall be the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground and the fruit of your beasts, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock.
Deuteronomy 28:4 (NLT)

Organic Wealth grows with time as long as the environment is right. When you sow seeds to the ground, the seeds will grow into crops. On day, the crops will give you harvest where you will reap more than you have sowed. You will get richer. The herds of cattle and the flocks of sheep will reproduce. Baby cattle (calves) and baby sheep (lamb) will grow in size. All these will make the owner richer. This is the most important characteristic of Organic Wealth, which Inorganic Wealth cannot achieve. So, if you want to be richer, focus on Organic Wealth more than Inorganic Wealth.

The main weakness of Organic Wealth is the higher risk of losing it. A foul weather and pest can destroy crops before they can be harvested. Some time ago, there was a serious flood in Bangladesh and it happened just before harvest time. It was sad. The farmers were looking forward to their harvest and suddenly the flood destroyed it all. All their efforts were wasted. Such is the nature of Organic Wealth. It is more fragile and subjects to the mercy of the environment.

Organic Wealth is also less portable. You cannot pack them up and run away when things go wrong. After Jacob left Laban, he had a huge flock with him. When he realized that his brother Esau was in front of him with his army, Jacob found himself trapped. He could not run away with so many sheep. The situation would have been different if his wealth was in the form of a few boxes of gold.

So both Organic Wealth and Inorganic Wealth have their own strength and weaknesses. If you allocate your wealth into these 2 classes, you can have the best of both. The next question is, how does currency fits in?

On the surface, currency seemed to have the benefits of Organic Wealth and Inorganic Wealth. Like Inorganic Wealth, it is compact and easy to protect. Like Organic Wealth, it can grow if you put it in a bank to earn interest. However, in reality, it is worthless in itself and I shall prove to you in the subsequent part of this article.

In ancient times, governments used precious metals like gold and silver to make coins. The precious metal is necessary in the coins in order to give value to them. The problem is, when these governments faced budget deficits because their income was lesser than their expenditure, they would resort to produce coins with lesser gold in them. This is called the debasement of currency. For example, every coin used to have 90% gold in it but after debasement, the new coins now have 80% gold.

The traders were not dumb. They knew about it and charge higher prices for their products and services. The higher the rate of debasement, the higher the prices would be raised. This is called inflation. Those who relied on fixed amount of income will be poorer because they could buy lesser things for the same amount of money.

That is the past. Do things get better now? The truth is, our modern system is even worse. We use paper money now. Once upon a time, nations used gold standard for their monetory policy. They pegged their currencies to gold. This means having US Dollars is like having gold. However, this standard was abandoned and all the world currencies become free float. This means, governments can print as much money as they want. Some governments in the Third World had printed money to solve their financial problems and resulted in hyperinflation. Prices of things may get doubled everyday. Their currencies are worthless.

Even if governments do not print money to solve their problems, inflation will still happen and the prices of things will increase because the currencies do not have value in themselves. This means the currency in you wallet and bank account will decrease in value. You will be poorer each day as currency depreciates. The main action for governments to protect the value of their currencies is to raise interest rates. However, raising interest rate will also cause unemployment. So there is some balancing act to be done between protecting the value of currency and protecting jobs. Most of the time, governments choose to protect jobs. Therefore the drop in currency value, or inflation is inevitable.

What does all this mean to us? I believe all our income is in the form of currency. As such, its value is subjected to drop. So the prudent thing for us to do is, each time we receive our income, the first thing to do is to allocate them for our giving (tithing and sowing), expenses, repayment of debts (if any) and keep some of it for emergency. If there is any balance, allocate them into Organic Wealth and Inorganic Wealth. This way, your wealth will be protected from inflation and be able to grow more.
