WEALTH IN THE KINGDOM 3
Know Your Worth
Genesis 30:27-30 GNT
Laban said to him, “Let me say this: I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you. [28] Name your wages, and I will pay them.” [29] Jacob answered, “You know how I have worked for you and how your flocks have prospered under my care. [30] The little you had before I came has grown enormously, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I went. Now it is time for me to look out for my own interests.”
Genesis 30:31-34 GNT
“What shall I pay you?” Laban asked. Jacob answered, “I don't want any wages. I will continue to take care of your flocks if you agree to this suggestion: [32] Let me go through all your flocks today and take every black lamb and every spotted or speckled young goat. That is all the wages I want. [33] In the future you can easily find out if I have been honest. When you come to check up on my wages, if I have any goat that isn't speckled or spotted or any sheep that isn't black, you will know that it has been stolen.” [34] Laban answered, “Agreed. We will do as you suggest.”
GET A DEAL NOT WAGES.
Meaning of Worth:
the level at which someone or something deserves to be valued or rated.
Knowing your worth is a very personal thing and it really has nothing to do with anyone else. It's your internal measure of how you value yourself REGARDLESS of what other people might think of you or say to you. A personal manifesto is a declaration of your beliefs, a powerful set of statements.
What is the value you have placed on yourself?
1 Kings 21:2-3 AMP
Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, so that I may have it for a garden of vegetables and herbs, because it is near my house. I will give you a better vineyard for it, or, if you prefer, I will give you what it is worth in money.” [3] But Naboth said to Ahab, “The LORD forbid me that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you.”
Our worth can be traced to God. It can be traced to Jesus Christ dying for you.
