♥ He Owns It All ♥

These days being frugal is not something that is desired by our society. Yet living within your means is one of the wisest things anyone can do. I want to be 'rich' society screams. Nothing wrong with getting rich if you can handle it. If you're a person that can't handle it, why would God ever bless you with it? The real reason to have great wealth is to advance and promote the Kingdom of God. If promoting the Kingdom of God is your goal, get ready because you've just positioned yourself to possess all the gold, silver and the cattle-that your Heavenly Father owns on a thousand hills. ~Donnie Alexander (Deuteronomy 8:18)

♥ A Candidate For Increase ♥

When you pray for your enemies instead of hating them, you become a candidate for increase. When you turn away from immorality, you're turning toward blessing. When you see things in your life that you know aren't right and you correct them according to the Word of God, you're preparing yourself to handle greater financial abundance. ~Kenneth Copeland (Proverbs 28:20)
