REAPING THE WORLD’S WEALTH

The final and highest level of reaping in the material sense is reaping the wealth of the world or the sinner. In it is the greatest wealth for the Kingdom of God. The level of blessing in this makes everything else pale in comparison. It’s almost like God has us practicing the first three levels in preparation for this one.

The Bible says that He will, “give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places…” (Isa. 45:3 emphasis added). Those places are in the world. How can we receive or take in the wealth of the sinner? The Bible says that it is laid up, sitting there waiting for us. Other Scripture passages say that the sinner stores it up for us to inherit it for His Kingdom (see Prov. 13:22).

How do you reap from the world? The only way it works is if you sow into the earth that God created and the system that God put into place. Now when I mean sow into the earth or world I mean invest. God created the earth to produce and the world is profiting off of the system that God put into place. We too need to reap the earth’s wealth instead of waiting for it to come from a fellow believer. Believers who do not invest in the present world can’t reap from it.

For example, owning your own home is a big start. If you rent a home or apartment for 20 years, in most cases you are giving your wealth to an unsaved landlord rather than investing in your own property to leave for your children and family. The Bible even mentions in the Book of Proverbs that “a good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children” (Prov. 13:22). Make plans today to own your own home. With faith, consistent sowing, and going out by faith and attempting, God will help you.

I believe that God wants the world’s money to work for you, instead of you working for the world’s money. Basically the key is buying and selling. Buy low and sell high. For instance, you can buy a used car at an auction and resell it for much more. Or you can buy a second home at a low price in an area where property values are increasing, such as a resort location. If you rent the vacation home during the year at a higher rate than your mortgage payments, you will be increasing your income. There are tax advantages to owning investment property; and, depending on the housing market, you may also be able to sell the property for a profit.

Although I am not a professional investment counselor, I believe there are better ways to increase your talents than just letting your money sit in a savings account where it doesn’t earn much interest. In addition to putting your money in savings, invest a portion in alternative areas. Ask a trusted and credible financial or banking consultant for advice. When you only save enough money for a rainy day, you are like the man with one talent who hid his money.
