Heaven's Currency








Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine.
Exodus 19:5

Proverbs 3:9-10
A quarter of Wall Street executives see wrongdoing as a key to success according to a survey by whistleblower law firm Labaton Sucharow. In a survey of 500 senior executives in the United States and the UK, 24 percent said they believed financial services professionals may need to engage in unethical or illegal conduct to be successful.1


In God's kingdom, disobedience doesn't lead to success. Prophet after prophet warned Israel not to disobey God's Law and reminded them to prepare for the coming of the Lord. Finally, God gave His beloved nation one last admonition before sending their promised Messiah. The prophet Malachi delivered a strong message of fiscal responsibility toward the Lord's temple -- a tithe that promised God's future blessing.

 
The currency of heaven is obedience. From financial integrity in the workplace to financial stewardship in the home and church, God will bless the faithful, generous steward. Where does your money stand with you and God? Has it come between you? Or do you use it to glorify Him?
