The Multiplier of A Variety of Riches

UV 3539/10000 The Multiplier of A Variety of Riches But you shall remember (with profound respect) the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore (solemnly promised) to your fathers, as it is this day. Deuteronomy 8 v 18 When we bow before the reign of God in our lives, acknowledging that He rules over us by His sovereign power and authority, we are blessed with a vision of His rainbow even as Noah’s covenant with God was confirmed by a rainbow. The rainbow is God’s palette in the sky displaying that His promises hold good in seven distinct but intimately connected domains of our earthly lives – the spiritual (violet) , intellectual ( indigo) , emotional (blue), material (green), psychological(yellow), relational (orange) and physical (red). When we love, worship and adore Him with all our hearts, He blesses us in all these seven domains. We enjoy riches or wealth in all seven domains. It is the Lord who gives us the power to multiply riches in all domains of life. It is the Lord who gives us physical health. Health is real wealth and much more vital than material wealth. It is the Lord who blesses us with good and healthy relationships with our spouse, children, wider family and friends. It is the Lord who gives us the emotional riches of joy and positivity. He is the One who boosts or encourages us so that we have nothing else to boast about. He blesses our work, our hands and our ideas so that we take up productive projects. He gives us our intellect and stimulates creativity within through divine inspiration and leading. He blesses us with all spiritual blessings from the heavenly realms in Christ. It is exciting that apart from the Old and New Covenant, we can make personal covenants and commitments to the Lord. We do so by solemnly asking the Lord in faith to help us with specific challenges, by making vows or commitments. When we lift a particular promise verse before the Lord, we are asking Him to make a personal covenant or inviolable agreement with Him on that issue or matter. For instance, if we pray over Psalm 91 verse 14, “ I will satisfy you with long life and after that, give you eternal life.” It has two terms of agreement- longevity and eternity. We are agreeing with the Lord that we should have longevity and eternal life in Christ. If we say, “ I am afraid, I might die young,” we are disagreeing with God’s word and agreeing with the enemy who wants to cut lives short before we fulfill God’s will and purpose or realize our full potential.
