``God always rewards those who are generous. Let me say that again. God always rewards those who are generous. We've considered that blessings blessings may very well come in the form of material rewards here on earth. But this is a confirmation in many passages throughout Scripture that blessing doesn't always come in the form of money. Come on. And we must not limit our expectation of God's blessing to be earthly or material things only. Come on. The best rewards are those we will have for all of eternity. [00:40:14] (45 seconds)  #ToolsNotSources

Do not worship your wealth and do not worship how you get your wealth. Your job, your business, your ventures are not your source. They are tools that God utilizes in order to get your blessings to you. Watch this, you need more resources but not sources. And all you have to do is do your best and let God handle the rest.

Everything that he lost, he got back and then some. The Bible says in the book of Joel, Joel chapter number 2 verse 25 says this, And I will restore to you the years that the locusts have eaten, the canker worm, and the calipiter, and the palmer worm, my great army, which I sent among you. So even God says, if you lose it, baby, if you trust me and believe and that I have great things in store for you, everything that you lost, I will give it back to you by optimizing your worship.
