Prosperity

Prosperity


Prosperity is a way of living and
thinking, and not just money or
things. Poverty is a way of living
and thinking, and not just a lack
of money or things.

c Butterworth

I, myself, am a Christian.Ā  One thing that I love is that God wants us to prosper.Ā  God gave us so many promises on prosperity in his word.Ā  It is spoken in the Scripture more than any other topic.Ā  How can we bless others if we have no resources?
So if you have a feeling of anti-prosperity doctrine within you, these promises should weed them out.Ā  This is Godā€™s Word, so embrace it.

  • ā€œIn the house of the righteous is much treasure: but in the revenues of the wicked is trouble.ā€ (Proverbs 15:6)
  • ā€œHe becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh richā€ (Proverbs 10:4)
  • ā€œIn the lips of him that hath understanding wisdom is found: but a rod is for the back of him that is void of understanding.Ā  Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.Ā  The rich manā€™s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.ā€ (Proverbs 10:13-15)
  • ā€œDo not love sleep or you will grow poor; stay awake and you will have food to spareā€ (Proverbs 20:13)
  • ā€œBy humility and the fear of the Lord are riches and honor and lifeā€(Proverbs 22:4)
  • ā€œBetter a poor man whose walk is blameless than a rich man whose ways are perverse.ā€ (Proverbs 28:6)
  • ā€œNo one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other.Ā  You cannot serve God and money.ā€ (Matthew 6:24)
  • ā€œAsk and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.Ā For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?Ā Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?Ā If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!Ā So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7: 7-12)

The list of scripture in the Bible on this topic goes on and on.Ā  These are just a few that I pick from.Ā  Yet, I felt that everyone should Godā€™s view on Prosperity.Ā  Iā€™ve heard people say that ā€œGod wants me to be it this situationā€.Ā  Yet, he gives us directions in the Bible on how to prosper.Ā 

Letā€™s all build our Dreams and Prosper.
