**TUESDAY BIBLE STUDY
TOPIC: EXPOSING THE SECRET OF WEALTH (GOD'S WAYS OF BEING RICH & HAVE WEALTH)**
*TEXT: Deut. 8:18; Prov. 10:22; 3 John 1:2 & Ps. 35:27.*
*INTRODUCTION*
Wealth is one of the most misunderstood subjects in the body of Christ. Some people think Wealth is evil, while others pursue it without God. But the Bible shows clearly that “God is not against Wealth” rather He is against unrighteous wealth, greed, pride, and the abuse of riches.
Therefore, God desires His Children to live in “ _abundance, fruitfulness, sufficiency, and Kingdom relevance._ Wealth in God's perspective is not merely having money; it is having _divine provision, capacity, resources, influence, peace, and enough to bless others._
True Wealth is:
1. Having God as your source.
2. Living under His principles Ps. 119:4
3. Receiving His blessing
4. Using riches for His glory.
So, the Secret of Wealth is not merely handwork alone, but God's pattern plus man’s diligence.
*WHAT IS WEALTH IN GOD'S PERSPECTIVE?*
Definition of Wealth is :
1. The ability and grace to acquire resources.
2. The capacity to sustain abundance.
3. The power to meet needs and become a blessing.
4. A state of fruitfulness, increase, sufficiency and influence.
*BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING OF WEALTH*
1. Wealth is from God - Deut. 8:18
2. Wealth is a blessing when rightly handled - Prov. 10:22
3. Wealth must not replace God - 1 Tim. 6:17
4. Wealth should serve Kingdom purpose - Lk. 16:9
Note that: “God does not just give money; He gives _principles, wisdom, strength, favour, opportunities, ideas, discipline, and blessing that produce wealth.”_
