At present, the world economy is facing great hardship. The cost of living continues to rise, but the amount of money that comes into our pockets is severely limited. However, within the Gospel that God has given to us, there is also the blessing of finances. Despite the famine that broke out, the Antioch Church enjoyed the blessing of finances.Acts 11:28~30 Similarly, there is a separate blessing of finances that God has prepared for His children. How can we enjoy this blessing?

1. Your finances are associated with your life
If you lack money, then difficulties and struggles arise in your life. The more money you possess the better the quality of your life becomes. Thus, the economy is inevitably correlated to your life and serves as a great factor in how you live. When you receive the blessing of finances, then this blessing becomes associated with your life. In addition, when you deeply meditate upon the covenant, the blessing of finances is naturally restored. If you understand the meaning of the finances that God has provided and ask His will before proceeding to spend your money, you will receive blessings in your finances and life.

2. The blessing of finances are hidden within evangelism
Noah, Abraham, Gaius and Philemon were all figures who received the great blessing of finances from God. They were all evangelists and devoted their lives for the Gospel. Noah, Abraham, Gaius and Philemon did not place their interest in making money; they were solely focused on the Gospel and evangelism. When you focus on evangelism and contemplate about missions, God will grant you abundant finances.

3. Insurance above all insurances is offering
Giving offering should not be a burden. It is a token of thanksgiving offered to God and is the channel by which we receive blessings. God tells us in the Bible that even a cup of cold water that is offered for the Gospel will not lose its reward.Matthew 10:40~42 Also, God promised that we will reap one hundred-fold blessings on this earthMark 10:29~30 and said that nothing is in vain.1 Corinthians 15:58 When you discover the hidden blessing of offering, it will no longer be a burden. In actuality, offering is the channel by which you can receive great blessings and answers.
