Subject: Does God want us to prosper |
Bible Note: It's not our money. We are not possessors of anything, just stewards. He said He gives us power to get wealth so that His covenant may be established as He promised our fathers (Deut 8:18). Let's be honest, there is a fine line, but it takes money to establish and build God's kingdom here on earth. You have TV programs carrying the gospel (money), you have 3rd world countries that need our financial help (money), you need money for personal necessities to live, shelter, college, missionaries, your local church, etc. God even knew there was a need for money. It's not for our personal gain, but to help maintain his work on this earth so that people can be reached. And God does want us to prosper, prosperity is not just money, you prosper in your health, you can prosper in the knowledge of God, victory is prospering. |
