Who do we serve, GOD or mammon?
Prosperity means that we have more than enough to meet other people’s needs, not just our own. We must have a willing heart rather than giving out of guilt or duty. HIS Kingdom on earth will be established by those of a willing heart of Love.
FATHER wanted to dwell in a tabernacle with HIS people in the wilderness. He instructed Moses according to the details of the tabernacle and all its aspects of worship.
Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Exodus chapter 35:
4 And Moses spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the LORD commanded, saying:
5 ‘Take from among you an offering to the LORD. Whoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it as an offering to the LORD: gold, silver, and bronze;
10 ‘All who are gifted artisans among you shall come and make all that the LORD has commanded:
Moses only wanted those with a willing heart to give toward the building of the tabernacle where THE LORD would reside among the people.
20 And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses.
21 Then everyone came whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and they brought the LORD’s offering for the work of the tabernacle of meeting, for all its service, and for the Holy garments.
22 They came, both men and women, as many as had a willing heart, and brought earrings and nose rings, rings and necklaces, all jewelry of gold, that is, every man who made an offering of gold to the LORD.
Was there sufficient giving among the people?
In chapter 36:
2 Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whose heart the LORD had put Wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred, to come and do the work.
FATHER gives Wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and skill to those whose hearts are stirred to bring forth HIS Kingdom on earth.
3 And they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.
4 Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing,
5 and they spoke to Moses, saying, “The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the LORD commanded us to do.”
6 So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.” And the people were restrained from bringing,
7 for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done-indeed too much.
How would any ministry like to have the problem of having “too much” in its calling? When we operate at full spiritual maturity, we will be exceedingly blessed and will look for opportunities to bless others. There was no scarcity in the wilderness for the children of Israel left Egypt with “more than enough”.
Do you have a willing heart?
