Prosperity is a state of no lack; where all our
needs are met and we are in a position to help others. Prosperity is a
situation where all we require to fulfill our God-given destiny is fully
supplied. Prosperity is not a state of being full of money. It is using God’s power to meet the needs of mankind in every
areas of life. It is a state of encounter with the life of God. God’s true intent is to have His children fully
supplied and to be blessings to others (genesis12:2).
All resources in heaven and the earth belong
to God (Psalm 50:10-12) (haggai 2:8). As our Father, God has willed all the
riches of the world to His children from the time of creation (genesis
1:26-28). God created the earth for man to dominate (psalm 115:16). Man lost
dominion through deliberate sin in the
Garden of Eden but God in His mercies restored dominion first to Abraham and
his descendants; the Israelites(Deuteronomy 8:18), and then to all of mankind
through Jesus Christ.God is happy when His children prosper (psalm 35:27). Poverty
is not God’s
will for His children as is widely believed. As much as the love of money is
evil, money itself is part of the heritage of Gods children.
Poverty is part of the curse of the law (Deuteronomy
28:29-33,43-45) which Christ redeemed God’s
children from (Galatians 3:13-14). God has designed prosperity as a means of
spreading His kingdom (Zechariah 1:17). Jesus was sent to die for us to be made
rich (2corinthians 8:9).God has made provision for all His children will ever
need in life and all we need do is command our prosperity into being. Poverty
and wealth are states of mind which reflect in the reality. God has assigned
His angels to us to act on our declarations.
Obedience to God’s
Word is the ultimate key to prosperity (Deuteronomy 28:1-3). Understanding God’s word brings favour; which is an essential
factor of prosperity (proverbs 13:15).
