Just for sharing

In Deuteronomy 8:18, God told the people through Moses, that He had given them the power to obtain wealth so that He could establish the Abrahamic covenant with them just as He had with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. “Establish,” here, would be more understandable had our translators used the word “continue” in place of “establish.” You see, the Abrahamic covenant was already established over four hundred years earlier with Father Abraham. Then it was reconfirmed with his so.. In Deuteronomy 8:18, God told the people through Moses, that He had given them the power to obtain wealth so that He could establish the Abrahamic covenant with them just as He had with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. “Establish,” here, would be more understandable had our translators used the word “continue” in place of “establish.” You see, the Abrahamic covenant was already established over four hundred years earlier with Father Abraham. Then it was reconfirmed with his son Isaac. Then it was reconfirmed with his grandson Jacob. Each reconfirmation just continued the unbroken force of it. It did not, however, establish it. My point here is this. Those people with whom He reconfirmed or continued the Abrahamic covenant in Deuteronomy 8 (over four hundred years after He initially made it with Father Abraham) are simply the seed of Abraham who fell heir to the provisions of the covenant. One of these provisions is the supernatural power to supernaturally obtain wealth. You are just as much a seed of Abraham as Isaac or Jacob. Yes, these three were partakers of the promise of wealth in the Abrahamic covenant by birth. We Gentile Christians are partakers of the wealth promise by grafting. Paul taught us about the grafting. Rom 11:17 17And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; (KJV) Rom 11:24 24For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? (KJV) We Gentile Christians are the wild branches grafted into the olive tree so that we can equally partake with the physical seed of Abraham in the covenant promise of wealth. As such, by grafting, we Gentile Christians are entitled to the same covenant provision of wealth as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the group in Deuteronomy 8. Notice also that the wealth provision in the covenant isn’t bound by time. Whether four hundred years or four thousand years later makes no difference. The Abrahamic wealth provision is timeless since this covenant is a forever covenant. A complete understanding of our covenant rights to Abrahamic wealth enables us to see that God gave this wonderful wealth provision in His forever covenant to us Gentile Christians also. God also establishes the Abrahamic covenant with us by giving us the same power to get wealth supernaturally.

We as Christians are entitled to "enough" Our goal, our vision should be on God.  Who has promised to supply our needs...and ad to us that which we require. If you are looking for more than "our daily bread" may I humbly suggest you are looking in the wrong direction

Matthew 6:

19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

22 “The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is [g]good, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is [h]bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Do Not Worry

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not [l]arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

God never promises monetary wealth to His followers; but believers do have the “riches of His glorious inheritance” awaiting us: eternal life with Him! (Ephesians 1:18)     Meanwhile, His promises and our daily bread, as @Riverwalker indicated, are enough.  When Jesus walked this earth, He had nowhere to lay His head, and His disciples often had to rely on charity.  John the Baptist wore a garment of camel’s hair and had a diet of locusts and wild honey.  In my estimation, they were rich!   

 Matthew 6:19-21  NKJV

19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Matthew 19:20  The young man said to him, All these have I observed: what lack I yet? 
19:21  Jesus said to him, If thou would be perfect, go, sell what thou has, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in the heavens; and come hither, follow me. 
19:22  But when the young man heard this saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one having great possessions.

1Timothy 6:6  But godliness with contentment is great gain: 
6:7  for we brought nothing into the world, because neither can we carry anything out; 
6:8  but having foods and covering we shall be therewith content. 
6:9  But who would be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and hurtful lusts, such as drown men unto destruction and perdition. 
6:10  For the love of money is a root of all evils; which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. 

[Waggles]

Proverbs 3:13  Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding, 
3:14  for the gain from her is better than gain from silver and her profit better than gold. 
3:15  She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. 
3:16  Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honour. 

[Waggles]

Proverbs 8:8  All the words of my mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them. 
8:9  They are all straight to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge. 
8:10  Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than choice gold, 
8:11  for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her.
