« You know about the kindness of our Lord Jesus Christ. He was rich, yet for your sake he became poor in order to make you rich through his poverty »
35 As evening came, Jesus said to His disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.”
36 So they took Jesus in the boat and started out, leaving the crowds behind (although other boats followed).
37 But soon a fierce storm came up. High waves were breaking into the boat, and it began to fill with water.
38 Jesus was sleeping at the back of the boat with His head on a cushion. The disciples woke Him up, shouting, “Teacher, don’t you care that we’re going to drown?”
39 When Jesus woke up, He rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Silence! Be still!” Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm.
40 Then He asked them, “Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
41 The disciples were absolutely terrified. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “Even the wind and waves obey him!
A financial storm is another critical storm of life that every believer must take care of by the power in the name of Jesus Christ.
« The rich rules over the poor, And the borrower is servant to the lender »
The Scripture further says in Proverbs 10:15NLT
« The wealth of the rich is their fortress; the poverty of the poor is their destruction »
The first thing to do to still a financial storm is to work hard.
The Bible further says, Proverbs 10:4-5Amplified
« Poor is he who works with a negligent and idle hand, But the hand of the diligent makes him rich. He who gathers during summer and takes advantage of his opportunities is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps during harvest and ignores the moment of opportunity is a son who acts shamefully »
The Bible further says in Proverbs 22:29CP
« One who is diligent in their work serve kings, not lowly regular people »
Thus, hard work is good.
However, hard work alone may not guarantee safety from a financial storm because the Bible says
« Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain »
Right from the fall at Eden, man has been labouring with little reward Genesis 3:17-19.
Therefore, the curse of poverty must be broken and the only One who can do this is Jesus Christ our Redeemer.
Our memory verse for today shows that Jesus sacrificed everything to restore man to a life of bliss.
We must invite Him into our lives so that every financial storm blowing against our lives would be stilled.
We need to cry to God in the name of Jesus Christ, who promised that whatever we ask the Father in His name shall be done for us John 14:14.
He says also in Matthew 7:7-8NLT
« “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened »
God will end poverty in your life today and He will use your testimony to draw many into His Kingdom, in Jesus’ name.
Prayer focus – Father, please bless me, and still my financial storms today.
