But the wealth of the
sinner is stored up for the righteous (Prov 13:22).
In the last days there will be a transfer of wealth into the hands of the
righteous for the purpose of funding a great harvest of souls and for believers
to have greater influence on society in the name of Christ. This will happen in
at least four ways.
1. Supernatural Transfer - Like the Israelites leaving Egypt,
Christians and non-profit organizations will receive major gifts from
individuals or foundations to carryout their Christian mission. In 2004, the
Salvation Army received one of the largest gifts ever for Christian ministry via
the founder's wife of McDonald's, Joan Kroc, in the amount of 1.5 billion
dollars.
2. Power to Make Wealth - God is going to give witty inventions to
believers throughout the world that will generate wealth. This has already
begun. "But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability
to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your
forefathers, as it is today" (Deut 8:18).
3. Social Entrepreneurship - Just as Joseph was entrusted with the
resources of Egypt to solve a societal problem resulting from a famine in the
land, God is going to transfer money to believers who are solving societal
problems. Governments will fund private enterprises because government is not
been able to do it.
4. Wealthy Individual "Conversions" ? Finally, many non-believers who
are wealthy will become Christians in these last days and will begin to use
their wealth for Kingdom purposes.
The transfer of wealth is designed to accelerate God's activity on the earth,
not to simply make believers wealthy. Pray that God uses your work life call to
accelerate His Kingdom on earth. And pray that God raises up good stewards of
wealth.
