Deuteronomy 8:18 "Remember the Lord your God, for it is He that gives you the power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers as it is this day"

One of Aesop's Fables, called The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg, is about a man and his wife who owned a very special goose. Every day the goose would lay a golden egg, which made the couple very rich. "Just think", said the man's wife, "If we could have all the golden eggs that are inside the goose, we could be richer much faster". "You're right", said her husband, "We wouldn't have to wait for the goose to lay her egg every day". So the couple killed the goose and cut her open, only to find that she was just like every other goose. There were no golden eggs inside, and now they had no goose and no more golden eggs.

In Deuteronomy 8:18, the Word of God speaks about where your wealth comes from. Let's use this fable to better understand this scripture. Please pay close attention.

In this scripture, what would represent the golden egg? Money, wealth, riches? No. The golden egg is God's favor and the power to get wealth.

Who would be the goose? Who would be the one producing the golden eggs? You, with all your hard work, talents, and good business sense? Those are all important, but no, it's not you. It's the blessing of God on your life, and your covenant with Him.

It's God's super on your natural that makes you supernatural regarding your finances. It's the blessing of God that causes things to happen financially that can't be explained or seem impossible. It's the blessing of God that gives you insight and wisdom beyond your ability and expertise. It's the blessing of God that positions you for breakthrough and promotion. It's the blessing of God that causes "whatever you put your hand to" to prosper. Do you see it? He's "the grace that laid the golden egg!"
