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.
Begin with the very first book in the Bible and you will find many of God's chosen people blessed and well provided for. Abraham's possessions and riches were such that he had to make a choice to separate with his nephew because they had too much cattle and herds that the land could not support both of them. Sarah, his wife was so beautiful that a king almost made her part of his harem. Did I mention she was ninety? Incredible right? That's supernatural prosperity at work.
What about Joseph? He was a father's favorite, sold by his jealous brothers to a slave trader. He landed in Egypt where he helped prosper Potiphar before he was thrown to prison by the scorned mistress of the household. Now he's in prison, again faithfully serving people even as he seemed to be forgotten and rejected by people he trusted and cared about. This almost reads like a hopeless life if not for the twist that he becomes Egypt's revered prime minister in one day. Is your story? Years strewn with broken promises and darkened memories? God knows all about you and He too will lift up your head.
But maybe you think, even if God's will is prosperity, it's reserved for the Jews many years ago and not for me. Think again. Read the New Testament in closer detail especially the book of Ephesians, and you will understand that today you, yes you sitting there reading this article, are a partaker of the promises given to Abraham. Genesis 12:2-3 gives Gods promise, '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 on earth shall be blessed' it was for Abraham and now it is for you too.
There are many instances in the Bible that seems to promote the state of poverty. It's true you can learn from it but God cannot promote poverty because He uses prosperity as a gift to people who follow His ways. 1 Chronicles 22:13 For you will be successful if you carefully obey the decrees and regulations that the LORD gave to Israel through Moses. Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid or lose heart! Mark 10:29-30 'Yes', Jesus replied, 'and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News, will receive now in return a hundred times as many houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and property-along with persecution. And in the world to come that person will have eternal life.'
Alongside many of the prosperity scriptures you will find warnings and encouragements to put ones faith in God not in riches because wealth has only a passing value. It is wise advice and complements perfectly with Gods will for your prosperity. Jesus said in John 10:10, 'The thief's purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.'--Let's make sure we put this promise to good use.
