Wealth is meaningless if it is not linked to God’s eternal purposes for the Earth. In the Kingdom of God, the accumulation of wealth is not for purpose of living luxuriously in a self-indulgent manner or for personal financial security, but to fuel and facilitate the expansion of His Kingdom in the Earth. You will be blessed personally and your life will be enriched, but there is a higher purpose for wealth, that being the expansion of the Kingdom of God throughout the earth. Joseph used his wealth and authority which his position of prominence afforded him, to facilitate the preservation of his brothers in whom the seed of God’s purpose for the nation of Israel and the church was embedded, and also to fuel divine prophetic purposes vested within his father, Jacob. Both his power and financial influence would be meaningless if he had not connected it to the divine will encapsulated within his spiritual father and brothers. The same holds true for us today. Throughout Kingdom Economic principles will be explained. Spiritual laws operate in the spirit realm and are accessed through obedience in the natural realm. A young boy gave Jesus his two fish and five loaves in the natural, and ignited a process of miraculous increase and distribution only possible in the Spirit. If you break a natural law, you will pay a penalty. Similarly, if you break a spiritual law or principle, you prevent God’s blessing from coming to you because of disobedience. The ‘money problem’ in the Church today is essentially an ‘obedience’ problem. To secure our inheritance in the Kingdom, we need mature ‘sons’ of God to demonstrate a lifestyle of effective production, productivity, stewardship, giving and distribution. Giving is not something you try – you must live it. Every kingdom has a set of financial laws by which it functions. When money is stopped - poverty, debt and corruption set in. Because you and I have been “translated from the domain of darkness and have been brought into the Kingdom of the Son He loves”, (Col.1:13).
