Deuteronomy 8:11-18
If you a true child of God you are going to prosper. In fact you will surely prosper.
There are 2 kinds of prosperity
True prosperity
False prosperity
Proverbs 10:22
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
Proverbs 1:32
32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.
Jeremiah 17:11
11 As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
True prosperity does not include having money alone but it includes freedom, good health, joy, fruitfulness, peace of mind, spiritual wellbeing etc.
1. Money is essential to have because poverty can destroy.
Proverbs 10:15
15 The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
Ecclesiastes 10:19
Money answereth all things.
Poverty can be a bondage
Proverbs 22:7
2 kings 4:1-7
A widow was in debt.
Prayer:
"Father don't let me die poor in Jesus mighty name"
Poverty is a killer.
2. True prosperity is not money alone but true prosperity is CONTENTMENT.
Ecclesiastes 5:10-12
1 Timothy 6:6
6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
Proverbs 30:8-9
Contentment is a great gain.
Prayer:
"Father don't let me lack but give me contentment almighty God"
3. True prosperity involves good health
Job 2:4
4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
2 kings 5:1-16
Ecclesiastes 6:2
Ecclesiastes 5:19
Prayer:
Father from now on let me enjoy good health so that I can eat anything I want to eat in Jesus mighty name.
4. True prosperity includes freedom.
Money that doesn't come with freedom is of no use.
Daniel 4:1-37
King Nebuchadnezzar was in bondage for 7 years yet he was a King.
1 Samuel 16:14
King Saul was a King and a demon was tormenting him. He was in a mental bondage.
Deuteronomy 8:11-14
Wealth can produce pride. It can bring divine resistance once pride comes.
When a man has wisdom he will choose freedom above wealth.
Prayer:
Father the kind of wealth that will put me in bondage almighty God don't let it come near me at all.
5. Importance of joy in true prosperity
Proverbs 10:22
Sorrow is a killer
Proverbs 15:13
Proverbs 17:22
Matthew 2:1-11
This passage Talks about the 3 wise men who came from the east looking for joy. They came in search of Jesus.
Prayer:
Father for the rest of my life don't let me know sorrow ever again in the mighty name of Jesus.
Father keep sorrow far away from me.
6. Spiritual wellbeing is another true prosperity
Mark 8:36
Philippians 3:7-11
Acts 19:11-12
Anointing is far far superior than money.
Prayer:
Father please hear me loud and clear I prefer anointing to money. I prefer spiritual wellbeing to material wellbeing in Jesus mighty name.
WHAT DO I DO TO PROSPER?
1. Deuteronomy 8:18 - since its God who gives the power to get wealth then wisdom tells us that we should always put Him first before anything.
2. Don't play games with him. Malachi 3:8-11. Learn to pay your tithes and heed to obedience.
3. Study his words. Joshua 1:7-8. Meditate on it regularly.
4. Obey Him completely. Deuteronomy 28:1-2;11-13. If you will listen to the will of God you will never borrow but lend to nations. Many are times His instructions are difficult to obey but you just obey and see the result.
5. Seek Him diligently. Hebrews 11:6.
6. Keep sowing. Ecclesiastes 11:6
7. Keep building His kingdom.
Prayer:
Father everything I need to serve you give to me in Jesus mighty name.
