What Prosperity Scriptures Mean To You Today
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.
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 God?s 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.
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?
Alongside many of the prosperity scriptures you will find warnings and encouragements to put one?s faith in God not in riches because wealth has only a passing value. It is wise advice and complements perfectly with God?s 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 guarantee to good use.
