The currency of Heaven
When God blessed Israel with riches, he gave them
skill and commodities. However, when he instructed
them in Deuteronomy 12 to put a 10th of their annual
gains aside as a tithe and take them to wherever, He
commanded them to go and feast on them there. He
also said, if where I am sending you to meet in my name
is far, then convert your tithe into money - what
money? Silver and Gold. This would enable them to
bring this money into the temple and among
themselves purchase. Therefore, there would be an
exchange of commodities and money (trade)
- that's economics. But all this was for the benefit of
the Israelites. This is where the concept of the
contractual document gave rise from. The enemy
didn't have silver and gold, but he had ruling power. So
he used the concept through his own 'commodity',
except it is valueless. He used this 'commodity' to build
up a kingdom here on earth because every king is a
kingdom and the glory (weight/wealth) of the kingdom
is determined by its riches or acquisitions. A kingdom
to compete against God's kingdom. Hence the two
masters are God and mammon. So while people are
chasing after bank numbers he is collecting
commodities.
You cannot accumulate true physical wealth through
holding currency, be it cash or bank balance. You can
accumulate it through holding commodities. But true
[real] wealth is spiritual wealth.
Deuteronomy 8:18, it is I who gives you power to
create wealth. Therefore, chase up the currency of
heaven [spiritual gift], and that'll give you material
acquisitions when you have mastered the conversion
formula [obedience].
