Who do we serve, GOD or mammon?
Prosperity is not selfish because prosperity is not all about you or me. Prosperity is about blessing, not possessing. Our mindsets need to be corrected concerning this Truth. The adversary redefines words to fit his agenda. Prosperity is about how much we give away rather than how much we keep for ourselves.
It is actually selfish for you to not desire prosperity!
The world needs to see what an Abundant FATHER looks like. Don’t feel bad about your current circumstances. Don’t let past unbelief prevent you from moving forward into HIS perfect Will for you.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in 2nd Kings chapter 7:
1 Then Elisha said, “Hear the Word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.'”
3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die?
4 If we say, ‘We will enter the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore, come, let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they keep us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall only die.”
5 And they rose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians; and when they had come to the outskirts of the Syrian camp, to their surprise no one was there.
6 For the Lord had caused the army of the Syrians to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses-the noise of a great army; so they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us!”
7 Therefore they arose and fled at twilight, and left the camp intact-their tents, their horses, and their donkeys-and they fled for their lives.
8 And when these lepers came to the outskirts of the camp, they went into one tent and ate and drank, and carried from it silver and gold and clothing, and went and hid them; then they came back and entered another tent, and carried some from there also, and went and hid it.
The Word of THE LORD is mightier than the greatest opposition on earth. FATHER used four lepers to bring about deliverance and greater prosperity to HIS chosen people. Rather than sit around expecting to die, the lepers acted. In one day, prosperity came to the four lepers. How much more does FATHER want to bless us! The lepers shared their prosperity with the rest of the children of Israel.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 67:
1 God, keep us near your mercy-fountain and bless us! And when you look down on us, may Your Face beam with joy! Pause in His Presence
2 Send us out all over the world so that everyone everywhere will discover Your Ways and know Who You are and see Your Power to save. TPT
FATHER wants us to be a testimony of blessing to the rest of the world.
It is written by THE SPIRIT in Jeremiah chapter 33:
9 Then it shall be to Me a Name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.
We overcome evil with good. When the world sees the results, they will fear THE LORD and realize their unrighteousness. Many will repent.
When we are blessed, we become a bigger blessing! That is the essence of the parable of the Sower in Matthew chapter13 where Jesus explains:
18 “Therefore hear (consider) the parable of the sower:
19 When anyone hears the Word of the Kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.
20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the Word and immediately receives it with joy;
21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the Word, immediately he stumbles.
22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the Word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the Word, and he becomes unfruitful.
23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the Word and understands It, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.“
If we truly understand the purpose of prosperity, we will produce good fruit. The multiplication process will begin. If we listen to the adversary concerning riches, we will be deceived.
