TOPIC: THE PURPOSE OF FINANCIAL BLESSING
SCRIPTURE: Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. – Psalm 35:27

3. To serve and worship our Creator wholeheartedly without the distractions of lack and scarcity (Deuteronomy 6:7-10, Joel 2:26).
Beloved, let the outlined purpose of financial blessing guide your attitude towards wealth creation and you will expe
