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.
Joseph the dreamer as he was called, was a favorite of God. Yet you wouldn't know by reading the first part of his life. He was sold to slavery at the hands of his brothers, wrongfully accused by the mistress of the household he was faithfully serving under, and forgotten by an inmate he helped while they were in prison. It seemed to go from bad to worse. Does this sound familiar? Have you been betrayed and forgotten by those you loved, helped and trusted? Take heart, God never forgot you. He is standing by and He will deliver. Joseph ended up prime minister to Pharaoh, not bad for a dreamer.
But you think, that was the Old Testament, and all Gods divine actors seem to be only about one race of people that has nothing to do with today's world. That's not true. Study the New Testament books in greater detail. You will find that Abraham is known to be the father of Faith and if you have faith--you too can partake of this promise. That's right. The promise stated in Genesis 12:2-3,'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 of the earth shall be blessed.'--this is yours if you believe.
People say that God espouses poverty and points to select Bible verses to prove their point. This cannot be true because there are many scriptures that show God rewarding His faithful people with prosperity and promises of abundance."Chronicles 22:13 If you obey the laws and teachings that the LORD gave Moses, you will be successful. Be strong and brave and don't get discouraged or be afraid of anything. Mark 10:29-39 'I tell you the truth', Jesus replied, 'no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields-and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life.'
Prosperity scriptures come with caution to those receivers of the promise. You need to be good stewards and not prioritize money over God and neighbor. Wise counsel that balances the desire of God for our personal abundance. Jesus said, 'The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.--It is a promise worth claiming.'
