Esau took his wives and sons and daughters and all the members of his household, as well as his livestock and all his other animals and all the goods he had acquired in Canaan , and moved to a land some distance from his brother Jacob. Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock. So Esau (that is, Edom

The fact remaining that God blesses materially beyond human comprehension. In the days of Abraham was blessed with Lot so much so that the land in which they lived could not contained them. Here too, we see that Jacob and his brother were blessed to the extent that Esau has to move to another area. God has not stopped blessing people; He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Some believers’ opinions and understanding about wealth is strange and funny, it is never a taboo that a Christian is blessed materially, yes our final destination is heaven but God did not decorate the earth with gold, silver, oil and other natural minerals for the sake of unbelievers.
Position yourself well and avail yourself for God to empower you with His ability to create wealth. Abraham, Jacob and even Esau had more than they could think of why not you?
Prayer:-pray for God’s ability to create wealth
pray that God will help you to use your material gains to serve Him well
What to meditate on:
Poverty and wealth which one can help you go to heaven, prayerfully consider this question?
