Understanding Biblical Principles
God gave us His Word in order to teach us how to live a successful life and experience financial breakthrough. Success in God’s eyes is discovering God’s will and then doing it. Listen to how God wants you to be a success.
1. And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 4:19 (NIV)
This verse assures believers that God will provide for all their needs — not just in a material sense but also in a spiritual and emotional sense. It emphasises that God’s abundant resources and glory in Christ Jesus are the source of this provision.
2. “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.” – Malachi 3:10 (NIV)
In this verse, God encourages people to bring their tithes (a portion of their income) to support the work of His house. He challenges believers to test Him in this act of obedience, promising an overflowing blessing in return. It demonstrates that God rewards faithful giving with abundant provision.
3. “Honour the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.” – Proverbs 3:9-10 (NIV)
These verses emphasise the importance of honouring God with one’s wealth and the first portion of one’s income. In doing so, believers demonstrate their trust and obedience to God. The promise is that as you put God first in your finances, He will reward you with abundance — signified by filled barns and overflowing vats, which indicates material prosperity. 4
4. “The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.” – Deuteronomy 28:11-12 (NIV)
These verses are part of God’s covenant with the Israelites, promising them prosperity and abundance in various aspects of life. It underscores the idea that obedience to God’s commands results in financial breakthroughs and overall prosperity.
5. “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—whatever they do prospers.” – Psalm 1:1-3 (NIV)
This Bible passage describes the blessedness of those who delight in God’s Word and meditate on it regularly. It portrays them as prosperous, akin to a tree that consistently bears fruit. The verse explains that aligning with God’s principles leads to success.
