The Power of Commitment to Financial Increase
Commitment to financial increase is one of the greatest demonstrations of our covenant relationship with God.
As believers, it is important to recognize that God has established a covenant of prosperity with His people, but it requires our active participation through unwavering commitment, dedication, and kingdom-mindedness. According to Bishop David Oyedepo, the prosperity of every believer is rooted in scriptural principles that, when applied diligently, guarantee financial breakthroughs.
- Commitment to the Covenant of Seedtime and Harvest
The Bible is clear that financial increase is governed by the law of seedtime and harvest.
In Genesis 8:22, the Word declares, “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest… shall not cease.”This means that until the earth passes away, God has instituted a principle that guarantees that whatever a man sows, that he shall reap. If you are committed to sowing seeds, especially into the work of the Kingdom, financial increase becomes inevitable.
Proverbs 11:24-25 also emphasizes the power of sowing: “There is one who scatters, yet increases more; and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty. The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself.”
It is our commitment to sowing generously, even in times of scarcity, that ensures we are positioned for supernatural financial breakthroughs.
- Commitment to Kingdom Advancement
In Matthew 6:33, the Word of God reveals a foundational principle for financial dominion:
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”Commitment to the advancement of the Kingdom is the gateway to enjoying financial favor and abundance. When you put God’s agenda first—through your finances, your time, and your resources—He ensures that you never lack. Financial increase is God’s reward for those who have made His Kingdom their priority.
We must focus on serving God’s purpose, building His church, and engaging in soul-winning as part of our covenant responsibility. When you commit to serving in the house of God and promoting His Kingdom, you become a candidate for divine blessings.
- Commitment to Tithing and Offerings
In Malachi 3:10-11, God makes a profound promise to His people concerning financial increase:
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”
Commitment to tithing is a key to unlocking the windows of heaven. It is not negotiable if we desire continuous financial increase.
Can I stress that the tithe is not a donation; it is a covenant obligation.
It is our expression of trust in God as the source of our wealth.
As we tithe faithfully, we are making a covenant demand on God’s provision, and He promises to rebuke the devourer for our sake and ensure that our financial flow is uninterrupted.
- Commitment to Wisdom and Diligence
Proverbs 10:4 reminds us, “He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.”
Financial increase is not just about giving; it also involves wisdom and hard work. The Bible teaches that diligence is key to prosperity, and commitment to developing yourself, acquiring knowledge, and working with excellence will distinguish you for financial success.
God blesses the works of our hands (Deuteronomy 28:12), but it is up to us to ensure that our hands are diligent.
A commitment to excellence in whatever field we are engaged in positions us for divine favor and financial rewards.
Lazy hands cannot produce wealth; it is the diligent that will stand before kings.
- Commitment to Covenant Principles
Finally, true financial increase in the church is anchored in unwavering commitment to the principles of the covenant. In Deuteronomy 8:18, God says,
“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”God gives us the power to get wealth, but this power is released through our commitment to His covenant.
The covenant of prosperity is sealed through obedience, sacrifice, and faithfulness. When we align our actions with God’s word—honoring Him with our first fruits, walking in integrity, and being generous givers—He honors His side of the covenant by releasing divine provision, opportunities, and financial breakthroughs.
- Commitment to a Lifestyle of Giving
One of the most profound teachings of the Bible concerning financial increase is the principle of generosity.
The life of a committed believer is marked by continuous giving.
In Acts 20:35, Jesus Himself said,
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
This statement reveals a divine secret to financial dominion: when we give, we set ourselves up for more abundant blessings.
Please note that giving is not limited to monetary contributions but encompasses giving of your time,
resources, skills, and love. However, in the financial realm, giving in offerings, to the poor, and to Kingdom projects demonstrates our love and trust in God. Proverbs 19:17 says, *“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.” This means that God becomes your guarantor when you give, ensuring that your giving yields supernatural returns.
As we give, we are following the example of God Himself, who gave His only Son for the salvation of mankind.
The more we give, the more we align with His nature, and the more He entrusts us with financial increase.
- Commitment to Spiritual Growth and Maturity
True financial increase is not just a physical or material pursuit but is deeply tied to spiritual growth and maturity.
In 3 John 1:2, the apostle John writes,
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
This scripture makes it clear that prosperity in the physical realm is directly connected to the prosperity of our soul.
Spiritual maturity comes from a commitment to the Word of God, prayer, fasting, and obedience to divine instructions.
As we grow in our relationship with God, we gain deeper insight into His principles for financial success.
The Bible says in Isaiah 1:19, “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land.”
Our commitment to obeying God’s commands and living by His precepts guarantees that we will partake of His financial blessings.
Furthermore, when we grow spiritually, we gain wisdom on how to manage wealth responsibly. Proverbs 24:3-4 teaches, “By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.” It is through spiritual wisdom and understanding that we are able to build sustainable wealth and establish a legacy that endures.
- Commitment to Speaking the Word of Faith
The words we speak have a profound impact on our financial reality.
In Mark 11:23, Jesus taught, “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.”
This principle of faith is critical for financial increase.
Let me emphasize the power of the tongue, our confession shapes our reality.
If you want to see financial increase, you must commit to speaking words of faith and prosperity.
Proverbs 18:21 reminds us that “Death and life are in the power of the tongue.”When you speak life, success, abundance, and financial blessings over yourself, you activate the supernatural power of God to bring those things to pass.
The words we speak must align with the promises of God.
I want you to Declare boldly:
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1).
“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing” (Psalm 34:10).
By committing to speaking God’s Word, we release His supernatural provision over our lives.
- Commitment to Patience and Endurance
The journey to financial increase requires not just faith but also patience. Hebrews 10:36 says, “For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.”
Many times, financial increase does not manifest immediately, but it requires persistence, endurance, and an unwavering belief in God’s faithfulness.
Remember that faith is not only believing God for immediate results but also trusting Him through seasons of waiting. Galatians 6:9 encourages us, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
This means that our commitment to tithing, sowing, and Kingdom service may not yield instant results, but if we stay steadfast and patient, our harvest is guaranteed.
Patience is the bridge between the promise and its fulfillment.
As we wait on God, our faith grows, and we develop a deeper trust in His ability to meet our needs
Conclusion
Commitment is the key that unlocks the doors of financial increase in the Kingdom. As we engage in the principles of seedtime and harvest, advance the Kingdom, faithfully tithe, work diligently, and honor the covenant, we position ourselves to experience God’s supernatural supply. Listen to this :
Prosperity in the Kingdom is not a matter of chance, but of covenant. When you align yourself with the Word of God and remain committed, the heavens will open over your life, and you will enjoy unending financial increase.
May your commitment to God’s Kingdom be renewed today, and may you begin to walk in the fullness of His financial blessings!
