30 Days Defeating the Arch-Enemy of Our Finances (Mammon)ናሙና

PRAYING FOR YOUR FINANCES

One thing is certain - God still answers prayer! We usually pray for what we care about. Prayer is crucial in our lives, and if you pray for something, it means that you think that that topic is very important. Want some advice? Pray for your finances! And at times, fast too! Jesus taught that there are spiritual forces that we only overcome through fasting and prayer. The apostle Paul wrote about a "day of evil" (Ephesians 6), a time in which the evil against us increases.

When we are in that season, we have to put on our spiritual armor. In my book “Defeat Mammon,” I make an analogy of how the armor of God (Ephesians 6) protects against Mammon's attacks. On the day of battle, may our feet be protected by the sandals of the Gospel of peace. Don’t let difficult financial circumstances rob you of your peace. Like Jesus, sleep in the midst of the storm. Put on the belt of truth. Don’t believe lies about your life or finances. Put on the helmet of salvation so that your mindset is one of abundance and trust. Take up the shield of faith, steadfastly trusting in the provision and multiplication of Heaven, and use the sword of the Spirit, reminding yourself of all the promises in the Bible regarding your finances. And finally, in everything pray with perseverance. "The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).

Remember: Prayer changes everything! Be sure to pray with perseverance for your finances!
