Answer honestly: do you sometimes think that God doesn't care about you having abundance and prosperity here on earth? I mean, He has the whole world to run right? True He watches over everyone on earth but He is God and He makes time to make sure you are healthy and more than well taken cared of. If you still can't wrap your mind around this truth, walk with me through several prosperity scriptures in the Bible.
God does not leave His people wanting. In fact, many of His chosen men are renowned to have great possessions and supernatural favor. Abraham had so much livestock and men born in his household that the rich land was not enough to supply him and his nephew's possessions and they had to separate. And have you heard about Sarah and her beauty? At ninety, a king asked to bring her to the palace intending to make her his woman. Were they lacking blessings in any area of their lives? I don't think so.
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.
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?
