When human resources are facilitated and enhanced effectively, material resources will receive a boost and be integrated with concrete evidence and results. Men who are well informed and guided are agents of change where they are. God has vested man with authority to manage all material resources.

verse 2: The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master.

*verse 3: When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did

*verse 4: Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned.

*verse 5: From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.

*verse 6: So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate. Now Joseph was well-built and handsome.


From the above scripture, God used Joseph as an agent of change in Porqñ.ctiphar's house. He was a good Manager and overseer of the Egyptian's house. Portiphar entrusted both human and material resources in his house to Joseph's care. He remained faithful and did not compromise.

Talking of material resources, it includes; money, food, cattle, household property, land etc. The knowledge we gain from the word of God daily is the pivot for the management of material resources within our disposal.

Finances (money) is the determining factor to the management of all other material resources. Money is used to purchase and maintain other material resources. A man who cannot manage his finances cannot manage his life.

A feast is made for laughter, wine makes life merry, and money is the answer for everything. - Ecclesiastes10:19

In a bid to manage our financial resources, tithing and giving for the work of God is very necessary and should be done faithfully and cheerfully. Tithe is kingdom investment, it is God's tax paid out of all that He created for us to enjoy. Only one tenth is what God demands out of our income from His creation. If you are faithful in tithe payment, God will give you wisdom to manage your finances.

We need to learn to invest well. A lot of people waste money on what cannot sustain them. If you lavish or spend carelessly and cannot manage your finances well, you may end up in lack and poverty.

Every person that manages resources well and adequately, will never regret in life. Such person will increase in assets and not fall.
