In the thirty-first chapter of Genesis, we once

again see this principle of taking the wealth of the

wicked and giving it to the just, illustrated in the life of Jacob. If you are plagued by a crooked or unsympathetic boss whom you believe hinders God's ability to flow His abundance into your life, then read this next section closely!

No one had a more crooked, stingy, unsympathetic boss than Jacob. Laban was crooked, crooked, crooked, and he was a real tightwad! Ten times, Laban changed Jacob's compensation program! Jacob worked seven years to marry Laban's beautiful

daughter, only to have Laban secretly switch daughters at the wedding, and trick Jacob into a marriage with his plain daughter.

After Jacob worked faithfully for Laban for many years, God instructed him to "return to the land of thy fathers." Naturally, Jacob was willing to obey.

Before he left, Jacob revealed to his wives God's amazing, divine principle of taking the wealth of the wicked and giving it to the just, the principle that had been operating in his life as he had worked for their father, Laban.

Read these verses carefully, for they provide a major breakthrough to understanding the mind of God, and to destroying any previous conceptions you may have about what God will do for His children.

And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.

And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered

him not to hurt me.

If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstraked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ringstraked.

Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your

father, and given them to me.

Genesis 31:6-9

God took the wealth of wicked Laban and gave it to Jacob! Laban could do nothing to stop the transfer of his wealth to Jacob once God started the process.

When Laban said he would pay Jacob only in the speckled cattle, God made all the cattle have speckled young. When Laban said he would pay only in striped cattle, then God made all the calves striped.

God took the wealth of wicked Laban and gave it to righteous Jacob. The God of Jacob yesterday is the very same God you serve today and your children will serve tomorrow.

The groundwork had already been laid for the Lord's abundance in Jacob's life. The Scripture says:

And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on,

So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the Lord be my God:

And this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee.

Genesis 28:20-22

Jacob clearly covenanted with God that if He would bless him, then surely he (Jacob) would give a tenth of all he received to God.

Many people construe this vow to mean that Jacob would then begin to tithe, but that simply is not the case. In the Book of Hebrews, we see that Israel (Jacob's new name) had tithed in the loins of Abraham.

And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people

according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham.

Hebrews 7:5

All of the seed of Abraham were already tithers. Jacob's promise to God was not that he would become a tither after God blessed him—he was already tithing! Remember, Jacob was the one of Isaac's sons who sought after the things of God. Surely, he was a tither from his early years.

Jacob told God he would give Him 10 percent. The tithe is not something we give to God; it is something we owe to God, for it is His to take.

And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord's: it is holy unto the Lord.

Leviticus 27:30

Jacob was vowing with God to give him 10 percent over and above his tithe, in appreciation for the abundant blessings of God. He established a generous measure of return from God by the generous measure of the offerings he gave to God over and above the tithe. Immediately, because Jacob's faithful tithe had already opened the windows of heaven to him, God poured out a blessing to him according to the measure of his abundant offering. Jacob's offering, not his tithe, determined the amount God returned to him:

Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.

shall be measured to you again.

Luke 6:38

The Bible says it happened to Abram! It happened to Isaac! It happened to Jacob! Each one of these great men of God saw the wealth (hard assets) of the wicked transferred from the wicked and placed into his hands.
