The second part of Deuteronomy 8:18 says "for it is He who gives you power to get wealth". So after you make God first in your life, the second key to achieving Kingdom Prosperity is to realize and understand that all wealth comes from God and that He has made the power to obtain that wealth available to you.
From Romans 13:1 and Psalms 24:1 you will see that all authority (power) comes from God, and that everything in the Earth and the Earth itself are God's (ncluding all wealth). So if all the wealth belongs to and comes from God, why doesn't He just give the wealth to you instead of giving you the power to get wealth?
Because God has established conditions for us to get wealth, based on our submission to God's Will as His children (sons and daughters through Christ). The first of those conditions is that we should put God first in our lives which we covered in the last Post.
The second of these conditions is found in the last part of Deuteronomy 8:18 - "that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day". In other words, God wants us to use the wealth He gives us the power to get to establish His covenant or will, not ours. The problem is that most people want to get wealth to use for themselves first, and give the leftovers to God. But God doesn't take second place behind anybody or anything. If we learn to put God first and use the wealth He gives us the power to get to do God's will first, He will not only get more wealth to us but we will be blessed in the process and have all of our needs met as well!
So in the next Post we'll begin to look at what this power is that God gives us to get wealth.
