MFM Daily Devotional 21 May 2023 MESSAGE
God is interested in the minutest detail of our lives. He created man to have dominion, and poverty is never in His agenda for believers. He holds the key of wealth and is willing to give it to whoever is willing and obedient. We will do well to hand over our businesses and careers to Him because it is He that giveth the power to get wealth and make a profit.
Peter, a trained fisherman, who knew the nitty-gritty of fish farming, could not produce the needed wealth with all his professionalism. Until he gave the CEO of the universe the chance to order him aright, he kept toiling in a circle of profitless hard work.
Much as it is very good to acquire the needed training and skills in our fields of endeavour, it is equally important to let God order us right every step of the way. As a matter of fact, He created us, and He knows the specific work or career for us to do to fulfil our destinies. That is why, as Christians, we cannot take God out of our business or career life if we want to command kingdom wealth.
Have you been moving in a circle and you feel stuck like Peter? Have you toiled so much but reaped little or nothing? Take a break, pause a bit, and take time to ask God to show you what He wants you to do to get wealth in life. It may be that you have been diverted from His original plan for your destiny. After taking time to know what He wants you to do, seek Him more to tell you where and how to throw your net for a profitable catch. Once He makes known His ways to you, you are assured of being a custodian of kingdom wealth.
