What goes up, must come down!


What goes up, must come down! that's a cliché used by all. Some use the term to talk about their children when they are on sugar, they might bounce from wall to wall and ceiling to ceiling and from room to room, but for us as parents we know it will soon end and the sugar buzz they had will go away and they will come down. Some of use the cliché term as far as someone that is boastful, when people receive financial prosperity they tend to get a little arrogant and forget how they received the blessing, and become boastful and arrogant. And thou say in thine heart, my power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth. 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.

There is nothing wrong with financially wealth, we just need to be wise in all of our ways. In all thy  ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. He doesn't want us to be arrogant and prideful with our financial blessings. We are to be as humble as He would be and he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mark 16:15) Also 
the Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.

That's what the wealth is for to spread the goodness of God and all His glory. Do you think God was prideful? The answer is no, because if He was He would never share what He has put in this earth and in heaven. He would keep the angels all to himself and never send them out to assist you in your every need, according to his riches in glory. Prayers goes up and blessings come down. The space shuttle goes up and comes down, hot air balloons goes up and comes down, planes goes up and comes down, prices goes up and comes down and of course the stocks go up and come down. Pride and arrogance goes up, but in the end it will come down. 

The holy spirit will speak to you on what to do to ensure you stay humble. God loves you enough to humble you. As for instance Satan himself, he was on the top and thought he could out do God, but unfortunately God took him up and brought him right back down, and will be sent to the abyss forever because his pride kept him in the wrong standings with God, he thought he was the one who got himself there and he couldn't humble himself. Adam was another one to come down, God placed him in a great position of authority, and once again pride crept in and bam, he went down. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein and what do we do, we think we are the ones who got us there, it was God. Some may say as the Lord giveth and he taketh away. We are the ones that gets it taken away, by not using wisdom, 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. 

God want us to have it all and have it more abundantly. We serve the Lord whole heartily with our mind body and soul, the heavens is unlimitless, man would say the sky's the limit, but with God there is no limit no boundaries. There is a lot of great wealthy men and women of God that practice the principal of humility. Just like the stars in the sky they are up and never come down, because they understand their atmosphere. They are aware where God placed them in this earth to do with the wealth. 

God's word never goes down, just his love from Heaven.  May God continue to keep us in humility status!!

Continue to FLOURISH in all you do with humility!
