God the bank president of your life

God the bank president of your life

You may place your faith in gold but you cannot eat gold and gold can’t buy one minute of time; you may put your money in the world’s best bank only to loose all because the bank fails; you may place your trust in a tried and true friend only to be betrayed but when you entrust your soul to Jesus you are safe forever.

I have a funny story to tell of the Mini Cooper and Rolls Royce.

A guy driving a Mini Cooper pulls up at a stoplight next to a Rolls-Royce. The driver of the Mini rolls down his window and shouts to the driver of the Rolls, "Hey, buddy, that’s a nice car. You got phone in your Rolls? I’ve got one in my Mini!"
The driver of the Rolls looks over and says simply, "Yes, I have a phone."
The driver of the Mini says, "Cool! Hey, you got a fridge in there too? I’ve got a fridge in the back seat of my Mini!"
The driver of the Rolls, looking annoyed, says, "Yes, I have a refrigerator."
The driver of the Mini says, "That’s great, man! Hey, you got a TV in there, too? You know, I got a TV in the back seat of my Mini!"
The driver of the Rolls, looking very annoyed by now, says, "Of course I have a television. A Rolls-Royce is the finest luxury car in the world!"
The driver of the Mini says, "Very cool car! Hey, you got a bed in there, too? I got a bed in the back of my Mini!"
Upset that he did not have a bed, the driver of the Rolls-Royce sped away, and went straight to the dealer, where he promptly ordered that a bed be installed in the back of the Rolls. The next morning, the driver of the Rolls picked up the car. The bed looked superb, complete with silk sheets and brass trim. It was clearly a bed fit for a Rolls Royce.
So the driver of the Rolls begins searching for the Mini, and he drove all day. Finally, late at night, he finds the Mini parked, with all the windows fogged up from the inside. The driver of the Rolls got out and knocked on the Mini. When there wasn’t any answer, he knocked and knocked, and eventually the owner stuck his head out, soaking wet.
"I now have a bed in the back of my Rolls-Royce," the driver of the Rolls stated arrogantly.
The driver of the Mini looked at him and said, "You got me out of the shower for THAT?!

I kniow we all love having things, and we spend the money on the things we want.

But there’s more you can do with money than just buy stuff.

The Bank of GOD: How to Use Your Heavenly Checking Account. We’re gonna find out how to get money, and what to do with it when you get it.

In order to have access to any type of bank account, you must first open the account.
To open your heavenly account, you must begin by tithing.
Tithing is the first step to prosperity.
Leviticus 27:30 - The tithe is the Lord’s and is holy unto Him.
Tithe: one-tenth
The tithe belongs to God and has been set apart and designated for His use. Because the tithe belongs to God, you aren’t really giving anything when you tithe. You are returning to Him what belongs to Him.
Ok, so the first step is to immediately recognize that you’re going to tithe on whatever comes into your hands. That opens the account.
Malachi 3:10 "10Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this," Says the LORD of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it."
When you tithe and give offerings, you cut off your dependence on this world’s economic system for your financial well-being, and God becomes your source.

After you open the account, you have to realize that God wants you to increase, it’s His desire, His will, His plan for you to increase.
3 John 2 2Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
Above all things, God desires for His people to prosper.
Prosper: to flourish, thrive, grow in a vigorous way. To do better. To help on the road. To succeed at reaching something desirable.
Based on John 10:10, Jesus came to give us the life of abundance.
He designed a life that overflowed with good and was well supplied and rich.
(Show video clip of Steve Harvey’s Big Time: "Cheapest Man in the World")
Make a deposit by putting God’s Word concerning prosperity in your head. If you don’t make deposits, you’ll end up living life like this guy because you don’t know what’s available to you.

Ok, you now know that you have access to your account.
Alright, I’m RICH, LET’S MAKE A WITHDRAWAL! LET’S GET SOME MONEY OUT OF THE ACCOUNT! Amen!
Not so fast, before you make a withdrawal, you gotta know how much is in the account, because if you try to take out more than what’s in the bank, you’ll get an insufficient funds charge and that’s no good. That means that you’re paying the bank $30 just because you didn’t have enough money in there.
Well, there’s good news, with your heavenly account, you now have an unending balance.
Psalm 24:1 "1The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein."
Psalm 50:10 "10For every beast of the forest is Mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills."
God owns the whole bank, so he’s not only the Master Banker, but He’s the VAULT…He’s the ultimate source of our supply.

Ok. Making a withdrawal from your heavenly account is not as easy as it sounds. People think that if they pray to God, that money will come down from the sky like snow, that a money tree will sprout up in their backyard, or that a big suitcase full of hundred dollar bills will magically appear underneath their bed.
But that’s not how it works.
Luke 6:38 KJV "38Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom."

Tithing is the number one source of receiving money from God the bank the president.

Don’t seek money. Seek God and all His wisdom.
Matthew 6:33 "33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
Solomon asked God for wisdom and everything else came to him.
