Now that we have explained the basic concept of Faith in God, and so now you want to know if God will grant your request to make you wealthy.

Remember the scripture that we used earlier in Part 1?

“That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord,"and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.” Romans 10:9,10

I will point out the basic principles to apply.

1) Confess with your mouth

2) Believe in your heart

It is that simple! However, God is not into “name it and claim it” faith. He never said, just say whatever you want and it will be yours.

“Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”  John 14:13

There has to be a greater purpose with goals that bring delight to heart of God according to His purpose and plan for your life.

See God is all about what is best for you. We all know that we can want something but it's not always the best for us.

The trappings of wealth can change your world, your life style and your attitude toward others and so that is why Jesus also said, “ Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Matthew 19:24

Whatever your heart is set on, “Whatsoever a man thinks in his heart, so is he”... Proverbs 23:7

If God has truly put that desire in your heart, then of course, step forward in faith and ask him, then continue to confess it with your mouth and believe that you have received and that it has been done.

You may find times that you feel God has not answered your prayer. Perhaps you don't realize that your prayer was answered, it just wasn't the answer that you were hoping for. However, a good self examination of your motives and desires is a good place to start. If you still feel you need to pursue your request with God, then remember the very first scripture that we talked about to define the meaning of faith in Part 1.

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen.” Hebrews 11: 1

You must continue to secure your hopes by your faith and trust in God, until the unseen becomes seen.

A little earlier in Proverbs chapter 23 it says, “Labour not to be a rich: cease from your own wisdom. Will you set your eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven. Proverbs 23: 4,5

Simply saying that you should not labour to be rich according to your own wisdom but by the leading of God's guidance. Riches aren't all that it's cracked up to be, because it can be as fleeting as yesterday. Here today and gone tomorrow. It's never a certain thing, however use it wisely if you have it and if you are blessed to receive it, then do not hold too tightly, but use your riches as it would please God and it will do your heart good to know it serves a beautiful purpose.
