Mike Murdock - 31 Reasons People Do Not Receive Their Financial Harvest

It happens everywhere I go.

I have spoken in over 100 countries during the past 43 years I have traveled as a teacher. When I finish speaking on the principles of prosperity, and the possibility of the Seed-faith lifestyle, someone always questions me.

Ive been giving and giving and giving for years. I never receive my Harvests. These wonderful things I hear about never really happen to me. Why? This doesnt seem to work for me. Their countenance shows sincerity. Obviously, I could give an immediate answer that would be Scriptural, accurate and revolutionary. But, time never permits in the rush of my hectic schedule. Also, I often see so much pain and agony on their faces that I feel my brief or concise answer would be misinterpreted or simplistic. It would appear uncaring and incomplete. Nothing could be further from the truth.

I do care. Deeply.

You see, poverty has been the tragic thread through the garments of my own background. I understand and totally despise every kind of lack.

Poverty does not help anyone. Millions are starving to death daily on this incredible and blessed planet. Fathers are angry with themselves for unproductive lives. Mothers are frustrated, clinging desperately to their children they have labored to bring into this world. Dreams are being aborted every moment.

The tragedy is that poverty is unnecessary.

You see, God is a miracle God. He is a magnificent provider. He is a Heavenly Father Who truly cares for us.

God is the magnificent Giver of every good gift. If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in Heaven give good things to them that ask Him? (Matthew 7:11).

God has promised to be Your Provider. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? (Matthew 6:30).

Prosperity is the most controversial subject today in Christianity. Why is it? Ignorance . There is unbelievable ignorance about its purpose on the earth. You see, its purpose is to help you complete your Assignment on earth.

Many are ignorant about the principles that produce prosperity. That also is easy to answer. Money is merely a reward for solving a problem. When you solve problems for others, you generate money.

Many are ignorant about the Source of financial blessingyour Heavenly Father. Many are ignorant about the Master Key to Financial Prosperitythe Master Key of Wisdom. Riches and honour are with Me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. That I may cause those that love Me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures, (Proverbs 8:18, 21).

When you increase your Wisdom, you will increase your wealth. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour, (Proverbs 3:16). Wisdom produces financial blessing.

Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord, Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness endureth for ever, (Psalm 112:1, 3). The confusion is unnecessary.

The only cure for confusion is the Wisdom of God. You can simply ask, and He has promised to give it to you. If any of you lack Wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him, (James 1:5).

Every parent needs money. But if any provide not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel, (1 Timothy 5:8). If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in Heaven give good things to them that ask Him? (Matthew 7:11).

Every minister is worthy of abundant finances. Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine. For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, the labourer is worthy of his reward, (1 Timothy 5:17-18).

Hypocrisy abounds. It seems highly acceptable to be wealthy, yet unacceptable for Christians to discuss it. This kind of hypocrisy is cancerous. Pharisees are still among us. Slinging accusations and cries of materialistic, they stride across the stage of mocked discipleship, making the appearance of sacrifice. Many others who have been broken and torn apart by financial losses, stare confused with envious eyes and jealous hearts at those who are sitting at the Table of Plenty. Still others, trying to justify their lack and losses, insist that prosperity is a matter of the sovereignty of God something He alone decides without the participation of men. If Prosperity is the sovereignty of God there is neither reward for Wisdom nor penalty for ignorance.

This must change.

Controversy is the child of ignorance. That is why The Word of God is so important in your daily life as a continuous powerful influence.

You can be debt-free.

You can drive back the darkness of financial poverty.

You can unlock the Golden Windows of Heaven so the River of Plenty can flow down into your own home, into your children, through your home church, through the hands of missionaries and ministers who are healing the broken in this generation.

Every ministry needs financial blessing. The missing weapon between the church and the evangelization of the world is money.

Yet almost nobody realizes it.

When you hear ministers speak, they blame those in the pew for failure to witness. Missionaries blame unconcerned churches. Others blame satan, demons or lazy Christians.

Yet, one single preacher can reach ten million souls in a single night of television. Then, why isnt everyone hearing the gospel continuously? Financial needs. As God blesses, it will become possible to purchase more television stations, radio stations, and print billions of pieces of literature that will shake this world for God. Money buys television stations. Money purchases radio stations. Money puts vehicles, supplies and books in the hands of missionaries throughout the earth.

The only weapon that satan seems helpless against is the weapon of financial Harvest. That is why he has targeted every demon to stop the tongue of those who teach financial prosperity to the Body of Christ.

He will fail. Satan cannot succeed. It is only a matter of time before the revelation of God on financial blessing will rise victorious among the people of God in this generation.

Your fountain of Wisdom is already flowing. How do I know? You have chosen to read this book. This reveals your pursuit, hunger and recognition of the Wisdom of God.

You will never be the same again after reading this book. Here is your own Prosperity Handbook for your family. Thirty-One Reasons can be read daily. Choose a different chapter each morning. Read it aloud at the breakfast table. Keep your Bible handy to confirm any Scripture The Holy Spirit might bring to your remembrance.

Too many people are hurting.

Too many people are hungry.

Too many people are ignorant.

Too many people are poor.

Tragically, it is totally unnecessary. Prosperity is having enough Divine Provision to complete a Divine Assignment.

You can prosper.

You must prosper.

You will prosper.

Thats why I wrote this book.
