Do you know that as a Christian, you are entitled to be wealthy? When I talk about wealth, it goes from financial down to prosper in everything that you do. We will be looking at five Kingdom Principles of making wealth.Look at what the bible says in 3 John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.God wants us to prosper financially, academically, in careers, and in businesses. The reason is that when we are prosperous, we will not be struggling so much in our lives. We will be in good health, which will make us live longer and fulfill God’s purpose of creating us.
However, many faithful Christians never get to be wealthy even though they sincerely serve God. Is God partial? What could be wrong? No! There are some principles and rules to become rich that God has laid down for us.Here, we will be discussing some principles a Christian must apply to be Rich.
Hardworking
Many Christian do not believe much in hardworking. This is because of doctrinal differences, teaching and interpretation of the word of God.
Many Christians do not believe much in hard work. This is because of doctrinal differences, teaching, and interpretation of the word of God.Some Christians often have the mindset of praying to God and hoping for a miracle. Although miracles do happen, it’s never God’s Principle of Making wealth.
God didn’t create man with His Words, unlike other creatures. Rather, the bible made us know that He formed man from the dust of the earth. If God worked in creating you, you also should work to acquire wealth.Acquire a Skill.
Acquire a Skill
Here in Hozonas, we have books that will help you develop yourself and stand out in the industry. Don’t be complacent with your current skill or ability. Subject yourself to learning.
Bible says in Hosea 4:6 that the people Perish because they lack understanding. When you acquire skills, you
become relevant to your society, and people will be looking for you.
Be patient
Being Patient is a virtue that is lacking in the lives of many Christians. We understand that God can do all things, but we forget that God made Time and seasons of the year. And also God created us differently, and always have different purpose for our lives.
We live in a generation where speed is a driving factor. Technology innovation has proof it that people need fast results. And therefore we want to achieve a lot in the shortest time. Unfortunately, just as you cannot plant a seed today and harvest its fruit the next day, you can not start a business and expect it to grow instantly. Growth is not spontaneous, but it is a gradual process.
But being patient can’t be replaced with any other factor.Remember that Patient is one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit. You need to be patient to survive.Many people couldn’t continue their financial, academic, or business pursuits because they were not patient enough to wait, endure and strive to succeed.
I want you to know that Life is never easy. In careers, businesses you need to be patient and optimistic.
10 UNCOMMON WAYS TO FIND HOPE IN DIFFICULT TIMES
Every successful business or individual whom we celebrate today in every field of life has once survived challenges and trials. They become models because they were patient enough to wait. And as they wanted, they make mistakes, learn from their mistakes and improve on them.Also know that failure is part of your journey to make wealth. But you only become a failure when you stop trying and believing in yourself.
Some people failed multiple times, but never give up. When you have patient, you will be optimistic.
Remember that our times differ so do not count how much time you will wait with some other person’s time. God treats us individually, so your time may come faster or longer than another person. If you must be wealthy, you need to be patient.

“There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens
Ecclesiastes 3: 1
Discipline
Discipline is our fourth Kingdom principle of making wealth It’s not always about motivation, sometimes it’s about discipline. If you are waiting to be motivated to work hard, you may never work. Sometimes nothing will excite you to wake up in the morning. You need to discipline yourself to pray, to study, or even to acquire a Skill.
I will say that principles 1-3 are connected to discipline. Most successful people never will tell you that they never were motivated. Instead, they were just discipline and dedication to work. They understand what they should and when to do it.

Trust the Lord
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverb 3:5-6
.God is in the center of the equation. As a Christian, you are to put God first in every it you want to do, then He will direct you in all you do.You are to believe God for miracles, and grace
The grace of God helps us in our weakness to boost our little input to have larger output. But it doesn’t work outside Jesus. You will receive the power to be called the Child of God when you receive Jesus as your Lord and personal savior. It is when you become a child of God that you will be entitled to God’s Grace The grace of God can be multiply, but to those that Love God.
Prayers of repentance
Grace is never a license to be lazy. Rather it magnifies your efforts. You are to trust God, but you have to follow the previous principles before the grace of God will work for you.
When you trust God, it helps to keep you humble and to acknowledge that not by your hard work alone, but you prosper by the grace of God.What if I tell you that they are people who worked harder than you but were never successful in their careers?
“And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”
Deuteronomy 8:18.
God created the universe and everything in it. He who He is delighted to bless, He will bless.
Why you must be wealthy
It is God’s very desire that we prosper and become wealthy,That is the first mandate God gave to man in Genesis 1:28. When you do not have money, you cannot serve God effectively.
Even when you choose to be evangelizing on the street, you need to eat food and have shelter.Bible never tells us that Money is evil. Instead, the bible tells us that the love of money is the root of All evils 1 Timothy 6:10. To love money means to be desperate to make money at all costs without applying the principle of becoming wealthy.If you try to amass wealth evilly, it may come but you will never be happy to enjoy it because down inside you, you know it was evil.
But when you follow God’s Principle of making wealth, you will be happy.The bible says in Proverb 10:22, The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.You will be more likely to preach about becoming rich and fulfilled in Jesus if you become wealthy and successful in your career as a Christian.When you preach, people will listen to you because they could see the result in your life.I pray for you to prosper as your soul prospers.
