POWER TO BE PROSPEROUS

The Bible Tells Us God Gives Us the Power to be Prosperous.

The Bible tells us that any form of prosperity does not come from our own power, but solely the power of God. In fact, God has pleasure in the prosperity of His people. From a Christian perspective, it should be understood that the practice of daily Bible study and prayer is the greatest key to our prosperity. For if we delight in the Lord, God will make us prosper and allow us to fulfill the desires of our heart.

Deuteronomy 8:18, “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that the may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.”

It is only if we believe in God through Jesus Christ that we can prosper in all realms, spiritually and materially. Any other route we take to build prosperity in our lives will invariably result in sin and the ugly consequences that sin brings with it. Deuteronomy 8 compels us to keep God first in our lives as He, and He alone has the power for us to get wealth.

Abundance Through God -

God has great things in store for you, but you will never go to a new level without opposition. That's why you must stay committed to what God is calling you to do. Stay in fellowship with your Heavenly Father through prayer, worship, study of His Word, and fellowship with others. Rise up today and take authority over any area of your life that's keeping you in defeat. Be aggressive and on the offensive. If you stay focused and determined, God will take you places you've never dreamed of and you'll live that overcoming life of victory that rightfully belongs to you. Time is the most valuable assets God has given us. There are only 24 hours in a day, and once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. Are you spending time with God daily and investing in relationships with family and friends? God wants you to live a focused, disciplined life, full of purpose and hope. Start each day asking the Lord what He would have you to do there is no limit to what you can accomplish. God promises to take you places you've never dreamed possible and you will experience a more abundant life than you ever imagined.

Know and Meditate on the Bible And You Will be Prosperous.

The Bible is God’s guidebook for us to lead prosperous and successful lives. There are numerous promises and lived out examples in the Bible of God promising prosperity through the following God’s word. In the Book of Joshua, God tells Joshua to meditate on the book of the law day and night so that we may prosper.

Joshua 1:8, “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night. that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

God Has Pleasure in His children Being Prosperous.

God has pleasure in the prosperity of His people, if we would have faith and favour a righteous cause God puts on our heart and joyfully go about it. Psalm 35 implores us to continually magnify the Lord who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servants.

Psalm 35:27, “Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.”

Accomplishment Through the Word.

The principle of seed time and harvest. Many claim this the to be the principle of God’s blessing, prosperity, SUCCESS, multiplication, triumph, love, favour and is the one factor that will generally move the “Hand of God” over our lives faster than any other. It was first mentioned at the time of Noah after the flood, and after he built and altar and sacrificed to the Lord. God was so pleased He made promises to all mankind because of Noah’s faithfulness. God also introduced the “Law of Seedtime and Harvest” as we see in Genesis 8:22 . . . ‘While the earth remains, Seedtime and Harvest, Cold and Heat, Winter and Summer, and Day and Night, Shall not cease.’ Everything that God has created multiplies because of God’s “Seed Principle.” Our lives began because of the “Seed Principle,” as did everything else – either from the good Seeds or the bad Seeds Sown by Seed sowers. To overcome life’s problems and reach our potential in life, Seed sowing is crucial if you want to see your life become fruitful, multiplied and replenished in the areas of health, finance, spiritual renewal, family and relationships. Simply Sow in your Seed in the Soil of Your Need.

If We Delight in God, We Will Be Prosperous.

Delighting in the Lord is having a true love of God. We need to love Him always because he is God, and our prosperity is just a by-product of our relationship with God and not the reason for our loving relationship with God. Jeremiah 17, as does Psalm 1, both tell that those who trust God are like a tree planted by the water and are sustained and remain fruitful even in times of drought.

Jeremiah 17:8, “For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.”

Psalm 1:3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the banks of a flowing stream - prepared and nurtured to bring forth fruit in its season. His leaf shall neither wither nor fade, and everything he puts his hand to will rightfully prosper.

Achieve God's Best in Your Life.

You need to dream big dreams, but have to also put your faith into action. The Bible tells us "faith without works is dead." Whatever part of life needs an extra input of God's blessings, continue to sow seeds of encouragement, hope, faithfulness and live a disciplined life. When you are faithful in doing that, God will reward your diligence and you will reap your harvest of Success. Time is the most valuable assets God has given us. There are only 24 hours in a day, and once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. Are you spending time with God daily and investing in relationships with family and friends? God wants you to live a focused, disciplined life, full of purpose and hope. Start each day asking the Lord what He would have you to do there is no limit to what you can accomplish. God promises to take you places you've never dreamed possible and you will experience a more abundant life than you ever imagined.
