Deuteronomy 28:8
8 The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses…
When Jesus walked on earth,
He had no bank account or Visa card. Yet, He was rich, lacking nothing.
He had whatever He needed for Himself as well as for the people around
Him. When they needed healing, He provided it. (Matthew 12:15) When they
needed food, He provided it. (Matthew 14:13–21) As long as they had
Him, they had whatever they needed.
Likewise, when you have
Jesus, you have an anointing within that makes you rich, even though in
the natural, when you look at your finances, there may not be much. God
Himself has promised that He will command the blessing on you in your
storehouses. Notice that He said “storehouses”. This means that He will
command the blessing on your bank accounts, investment plans and
everywhere that you put your money! Your storehouses will be blessed
because when God commands the blessing, the blessing has no choice but
to come on your storehouses!
We saw this happen to
one of our church’s storehouses — our investment in Marine Cove, an
open-air, seaside shopping-cum-dining-cum-leisure resort complex. We
invested in the place because we wanted to multiply the Lord’s money. We
did not want to leave the money in the bank where the interest rate
then was less than one per cent. We prayed about it and the Lord led us
to invest in Marine Cove.
And since day one, we
have been making money from that investment. In fact, our highest annual
return was 11 per cent net! When SARS hit Singapore in 2003, people
were avoiding the air-conditioned malls and coming to Marine Cove. The
place was packed. Only God could have known how things would turn out.
We even made money from the parking charges! That was how much the Lord
was multiplying His money through our investment.
Beloved, just believe
God when He says that He will command His blessing on you in your
storehouses. Get ready your storehouses and make room for the blessings.
Position yourself to capitalize on the opportunities that He is sending
your way!
