Scripture
"...that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:" Isaiah 55:10.
Application
Do you find yourself praying to God for a lot of money? What has been your experience? Has there been piles of cash dumped from heaven into your house? Probably not.
Your relationship with money determines whether you have more or less of it. You need to understand this truth about money. If you want to have more of it, you have to employ it. You need to assign some tasks for it to perform. It cannot just be sitting idle in a savings account. Just like you go to work everyday, you must also send your money to work. The wisdom is that eventually your money should be working harder than you do. Eventually, your money would be doing all the work and you can have enough time to fulfill your purpose without regards for money.
What do I mean? Traditionally, before you receive your income, the government would have taken away their portion and you'd have given God's portion and possibly pay bills etc. The rest should be employed. Put them to work in investments no matter how small. One of the simplest ways is to buy shares of well established publicly traded companies. Several sites these days offer simple ways to do this. e.g. Robinhood, Stockpile, Webull, TD Ameritrade etc.
To start, you don't need to be sophisticated. You can invest in companies whose product you use regularly. You could also buy shares in companies where you normally shop. Do this regularly. Treat it as a seed you plant in the ground. Don't go and dig it up. Let it grow. When you do this regularly, God would also ensure that you always have a seed to sow. If however you always spend everything you make, God would also provide for you, but only enough to eat. He gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater. So, give your money a job.
