DAY 334

Power, Influence and Wealth are tripartite that should not be wielded by ‘just anybody’. That includes power in all forms, mechanical or spiritual, influence on systems and men, as well as dimensions of wealth that bear potential to affect the life of society at large. They require a tranformed mind, an enabling through grace and the application of Godly wisdom to wield them right.
This is the reason God is into the business of ‘vetting the hearts of men’ and testing them thoroughly before committing any of these three things to them in any proportion. In truth, He loves all of God, but He has to satisfy the criteria for committing things to you, and that is to get an answer to the question: ‘can I trust you?’
Power, Influence and Wealth can so elevate any man that when wrongly appropriated, misused or abused, they carry the potential to cause lasting damage. Regardless, they are things God desires for us to have. Therefore, the way to be positioned to receive them is to build the capacity to be an effective steward.
Otherwise, those very things: Power, Influence and Wealth, which are meant to come as platforms for manifesting God and affecting our world, can become the avalanche that sweeps us out of relevance.
