reveals to us about this that will help us to
strongly acknowledge His ownership.
• “Say not then, in your hearts, My power and the strength of my hands have got me this wealth. 18 But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is He who gives you the power to get wealth, so that He may give effect to the agreement which He made by His oath with your fathers, as at this day.” Deut. 8:17-18 BBE
