Proverbs 3:13 (KJV)
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
Money doesn’t change one’s character; it simply amplifies the character that is already there. That’s why someone can get a million dollars today, and by next week, they will be in the same state they were in before they became a millionaire – or worse! Some people find themselves skyrocketing to the upper echelon of financial wealth only to come crashing down because they mismanaged their finances. Their riches are here today and gone tomorrow. No wonder the Bible says that riches can disappear in the blink of an eye, and wealth can sprout wings and fly off into the wild blue yonder (Proverbs 23:5).
It’s not easy to be rich. There’s a certain mindset that rich people possess that keeps them rich, and the lack of it keeps poor people broke. Being rich requires focus, tenacity and the development of your character so that you master money instead of money mastering you. Riches are a side effect of wisdom. Therefore, be wise. Don’t focus only on increasing your money; increase your wisdom also so that as money comes, money stays.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
As a rich person, I am committed to developing my character and cultivating a wealthy mindset. As I increase in wisdom, money will follow. Money flows into my life to make an impact to the glory of God! Amen.
