I know you've thought about it before: Does God want to teach me a lesson by not giving me money and good health? The answer is a resounding no. God's heart is to see you walking in the fullness of life! May it be in finances, health or relationships, God's will for you is to be in abundance and prosperity at all times. You can glean this truth from the prosperity scriptures written in the Bible.
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.
How about Joseph? He was a dreamer scorned by his brothers and sold to slavery. When he served his master faithfully, the master's wife had him thrown to prison on wrongful charges. In prison, he still served the warden, even helping out one inmate by correctly interpreting his dream of freedom--and yet he too was forgotten by this friend. Does this sound like you? Beset by troubles, never seeing the light at the end of the tunnel? Cheer up and be faithful. God knows and He delivers. In one day Joseph went from the pit to the palace where he served as second in command to the whole of Egypt.
Hopefully, you're getting some glimmer back in your eyes. You agree that God wants to bless His people. But you argue, all those stories are centuries ago and written for His people, the Jews. If you think this has nothing to do with you, think again. Study New Testament scriptures and you will realize that the promises given to Abraham somehow made its way to you. That's right, when God said, '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' (Genesis 12:2-3)--it now applies to you as well. Believe it so you can walk in its reality.
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.'
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.
