Have you ever thought about your personal prosperity in terms of how God sees it? I mean, do you think God wants you to be rich in your finances and health? Your view on this plays an integral part on how you live your life. Be at rest friend because God wants to see you walk in abundance and prosperity. The Old and New Testament in the Bible have many prosperity scriptures that attest to this fact.
Set apart people for God have been known to enjoy Gods unmerited favor and grace in terms of their possessions and reputation. Consider Abraham. He is the father of Faith even before the concept of faith was ever established properly. He was so prosperous with livestock and servants that the land could not support both him and his nephew, Lot and they had to separate. Sarah, his wife could still leave princes and kings with their mouths hanging open at her beauty. She was ninety years old. That is divine abundance.
Joseph the dreamer as he was called, was a favorite of God. Yet you wouldn't know by reading the first part of his life. He was sold to slavery at the hands of his brothers, wrongfully accused by the mistress of the household he was faithfully serving under, and forgotten by an inmate he helped while they were in prison. It seemed to go from bad to worse. Does this sound familiar? Have you been betrayed and forgotten by those you loved, helped and trusted? Take heart, God never forgot you. He is standing by and He will deliver. Joseph ended up prime minister to Pharaoh, not bad for a dreamer.
But you think, that was the Old Testament, and all Gods divine actors seem to be only about one race of people that has nothing to do with today's world. That's not true. Study the New Testament books in greater detail. You will find that Abraham is known to be the father of Faith and if you have faith--you too can partake of this promise. That's right. The promise stated in Genesis 12:2-3,'I will bless you and make your name great; I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'--this is yours if you believe.
People say that God espouses poverty and points to select Bible verses to prove their point. This cannot be true because there are many scriptures that show God rewarding His faithful people with prosperity and promises of abundance."Chronicles 22:13 If you obey the laws and teachings that the LORD gave Moses, you will be successful. Be strong and brave and don't get discouraged or be afraid of anything. Mark 10:29-39 'I tell you the truth', Jesus replied, 'no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields-and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life.'
Prosperity scriptures come with the loving, sometimes firm warning of exercising wisdom in the blessings you receive. It makes sense now doesn't it? God wants you to prosper but He wants you to use it well because He cares not only of your physical needs, but your souls as well. Jesus said, 'A thief comes only to rob, kill, and destroy. I came so that everyone would have life, and have it in its fullest.'-- It's a promise worth finding out don't you think?
