YE ARE NOT OUR gods

How long shall we worship things that cannot save us? How long shall we see our deliverance in things we own in our hands? I remember Bishop Francis Wale Oke saying God told him that anything that he cannot give to Him is an idol. God said this to him while he was struggling in his spirit about giving to God some plots of lands which he was planning for University building. That is the truth. Anything you cannot give away to God is a god. It can be money or your job. It can be your lifestyle. I had an encounter with this revelation when the Holy Spirit took me to Hosea 14:3. It says: "Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy". When you say you have a lot of financial responsibilities and you hold on to the little money in your hands, it is a confession that that money is a god to deliver you from your needs, rather than giving it to God who has the power to clear all your bills and change your story in the twinkle of an eye. God can bless you exccedingly and abundantly more than your targets within few seconds. Bible says even the fatherless(the one who has no helper) finds mercy in God.
I need you to declare that that money, that land, that job, that house and that property are not your gods. If God has asked for any of these things, please release it to Him. He can give back to you ten folds of it. Don't manage poverty by holding on to the little in your hands. Rather, manage abundance by giving the 'not enough' to God. And don't limit yourself by holding on to the abundance in your hands. Rather, let God sets your limit through your abundant sacrifices. Yes, Solomon made ONLY GOD to set his limit by giving God 1000 burnt sacrifices in Gibeon. That day, God told him that no king in his lifetime will measure up to his level of riches.That's God setting a limit for Solomon.
Whether little or abundance, whatever you cannot give to God is a god, an idol. And whatever you have made as a god will define your life. It will define your measure of prosperity. It will define your limit in life. It will define how far you will go in life.

GIVE GOD WHAT YOU HAVE TO GET WHAT YOU DON'T HAVE.
