God is rich in all ways, and he gives graciously to those who are faithful. Whether it's mercy, grace, material wealth, or health, he has it all for the asking. If you have these things it's your duty to share them and multiply them for the use of God's Kingdom. If you don't have them, ask and you shall receive, only be a good steward with the things you are given and now have. You cannot expect God to bless you financially if you squander your money on things that are not pleasing to him. You cannot expect God to bless you with good health if you do not take care of your body.
If you are guilty of these things it's never too late to change your ways and receive richly from God all that you need.
John the Baptist told the people in keeping with repentance, let every man that has two cloaks give the one to he who has need. I've seen that exemplified by my Pastor and his family, as we moved out to Liberty and they provided basic needs for our new home. A verse says "there is he that scatters and has more than enough, and there is he that withholds more than is necessary and has poverty." If you have riches of any kind, whether they be talents, money, health, spiritual gifts...see to it that you share them in every way you can, and you will receive more from God's hand.
Furthermore, temptation from the devil recedes when you know that your Heavenly Father is rich and has blessed you with all spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. If you are tempted to take the fast track to receive wealth, an unethical way, know that you can have all you need by good stewardship and prayer. The devil's temptation becomes weak when you realize that all that is God's is yours, as an heir with Christ.
