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.
Set apart people for God have been known to enjoy God?s 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 God?s 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.
Some people mistakenly point to some scripture verses as God?s promotion of living a less than blessed life of lack. How can this be true if God rewards prosperity to people that seek His ways?
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 soul?s 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?
