« Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, “Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant” »
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him.
13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;
14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.
« Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers »
In John 10:10, Jesus Christ promised that He came that we may have life and have it more abundantly.
Furthermore, in Psalm 68:19, the Bible says that God daily loads us with benefits.
God wants you to prosper because the Bible says clearly in Proverbs 10:15 that the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
You will not be destroyed, in Jesus’ name.
1 Timothy 6:10 says clearly that it is the love of money, and not money itself, that is the root of all evil.
God wants you to prosper because His plan for your life is that you will be a blessing.
- You cannot be a blessing to others if you are not blessed.
If you have nothing to eat, how are you going to feed the poor?
I decree into your life: you will prosper, in the mighty name of Jesus!
Some preachers talk about the story of Lazarus and the rich man in Luke 16:19-31 , saying because the rich man went to hell while Lazarus the beggar was carried into Abraham’s bosom, then rich people will all go to hell while only the poor will go to heaven. That conclusion is not in line with the story.
When you study that passage very well, you would see that the rich man pleaded for Lazarus to go back to earth to preach to his brothers but; Father Abraham responded that if his brethren did not listen to the prophets, they would not listen to Lazarus either.
It is therefore clear that it is not wealth that sent the rich man to hell, but rather his refusal to listen to the prophets .
John 3:1-16 shows clearly that the way to make it to heaven is to be born again.
It doesn’t matter whether you are rich or poor; if you are not born again, you are going to spend eternity in the lake of fire.
You can be the richest person in the world and go to heaven if you are born again ; you can be the poorest fellow in the world and go to hell if you refuse to surrender your life to Jesus. Proverbs 10:22NLT states clearly that
« The blessing of the LORD makes a person rich, and he adds no sorrow with it »
You cannot end up in hell when your wealth comes from the Lord, and you live according to His will.
Application – Poverty is not a visa to heaven and wealth is not a visa to hell.
