What is Money / Prosperity?
Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Making money is not an automatic thing
You aren't guaranteed money, or prosperity because you are a Christian.
Every endeavour will take some time, and involves instruments of production
What is one instrument of production that God has given every person? (your body)
Certain attitudes must exist in order to prosper
Who owns the gold, silver, cattle on a thousand hills?
How that will change your attitude about money?
We are stewards of the thing that God owns.
It has nothing to do with getting rich
It has nothing to do with the outward things you could get.
Prosperity, or making money is about producing in you the means of giving on an ever-larger scale.
1st peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
What is one attribute of Gods nature? He is a giver!
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Romans 8:32
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
IF YOU DESIRE TO ACCUMULATE A FORTUNE, YOU ARE FAILING IN THE FIRST PRINCIPLE OF PROSPERITY. I DON’T DESIRE TO MAKE A FORTUNE, BUT TO GIVE A FORTUNE.
