Wealth to Establish God’s Covenant

Money serves many purposes; food, clothing, shelter, and more. Money has no higher purpose, however, than to establish God’s covenant in the earth.

Deuteronomy 8:10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee.

11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:

12 Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein;

13 And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;

14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;

15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;

16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;

17 And thou say in thine heart, my power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth (blessing).

18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 8:1(1-18

Relating to the Scripture

God warned the children of Israel, that when they were blessed in the Promised Land, not to forget that it was He who blessed them. He also reminded them that the chief reason for their blessings and wealth was so that they could establish “His covenant” in the earth.

There are many things that we can do with our money. But there is nothing more important than using our money to establish God’s covenant with the earth. What a blessing; to be a part of helping others come into covenant with God.

Offering Admonition/Confession

We give today to support our church. Our giving is used to establish God’s covenant in the earth and in the hearts of men. What a blessing it is to give.

God bless you.
