Gold and Silver are Mine
Haggai 2:8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
There is a general understanding and an acceptable fact that God created all things, He brought all things into existence by His divine wisdom. Before man was created He already made everything man can ever need.
God has all things at His disposal, He provided all things for all His living creation for survival. He desires that man lacks nothing, that by what He has created, man will multiply them for his own use.
Gold and silver are one of the recourses that contribute to man's survival, many has built their wealth around lit, but how much happier would we be if we can key into the wisdom and power of God for sustenance?
The deceit of the devil was the reason man was cut short from the wealth that God gives and the wisdom to multiply God's resources, it makes man to toil before eating, it brings hardship into the works of man's hand.
For this reason many has sort for an alternative with the devil, in deceitful means like rituals, fraudulent activities among others, whereas all this added sorrow and its respective repercussion. But the blessings that God gives added no sorrow. Proverbs 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
If God owns all, imagine what you have as His own beloved son.?
Jesus Christ in His teaching admonished His Listeners never to take thought of tomorrow, not to be depressed by what to eat, during or what to wear as God himself knows what we need at every given time.
Mathew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
If God can feed all other creatures all by himself, how much more man whom He created in His likeness?
6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 6:30 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?
God wants everyone to seek Him and His kingdom and thereafter all other things that we run after for survival will eventually be provided for us according to His riches in glory
Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
If there be anything you lack, firstly rejoice in what you already have, and with thanksgiving make your supplications known to Him and He shall bring to pass your heart desires according to His will..
Philippians 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. 4:5 Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand. 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
The blessings of the Lord are sufficient for every day we live, for He will surely supply our needs. Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Trust in the Lord for riches, be contented with what He gives, Rejoice and give unto others who are in need.
God bless you.

3. Lord, I come before you for all my needs, bless me acceding to your riches and will in Jesus Christ name.
