Growing Prosperity – Why on Earth Does God Want to Prosper Us?
Growing Prosperity – Why on Earth Does God Want to Prosper Us?
A Look at the Purpose Behind Our Prosperity
Growing prosperity is something most people seek after in life.
It is good to know God wants to prosper us…
but why on earth does He want to?
We should understand the purpose behind our prosperity.
This is important today…
more than ever before…
so let’s take a look.
Why God Prospers Us
Is it so we can watch our favorite shows on the big screen, in the ultimate personal home-theater room? Is it so we can wear the finest of clothes and shop in elite boutiques? Is it so we can eat the best, drive the best, and live in a huge home?
There is nothing wrong with enjoying nice things, but is that why God prospers us?
“God gives you power to get wealth; that He may establish His covenant.”
— Deuteronomy 8:18
Everything in the universe belongs to God. We simply manage what we’ve been blessed with. And God expects us to keep and use some of this abundance in our own lives. We should care for our families and prosper.
Yet, the desire to prosper should not come from a love for money or with a motive to greedily hoard it up. Our primary concern should be to extend and promote the Kingdom of God on earth.
God gives us power to get wealth, so that His covenant may be established and spread to all the people on earth. The gift of salvation is free, but frankly it takes money to send the good news throughout the earth for everyone to hear.
Blessed to Be a Blessing
Take a look around and it is quite obvious there are plenty of people in need. How can you be a blessing to the less fortunate if you are struggling in your own lack?
God wants us to be blessed to be a blessing. He is able to make all grace abound toward us so that we are always sufficient in all things – so that we can abound to every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8)
The goodness of God, which is shown by our kindness and generosity toward others, also leads men to repentance. (Romans 2:4)
And the kicker is: As we purpose to be a channel of God’s blessing to others, He will continue to send greater blessings to us.
The truth is: We should enjoy growing prosperity! The ability to gain wealth and prosper is God’s gift to us. It is a gift we are meant to enjoy in life, but also share with others.
May you use your God given power, to get wealth, to establish His covenant on earth and enjoy a life of growing prosperity!
God bless you –
Cheers,

Growing Prosperity – What Does the Attitude of Obedience Have to Do With Prospering?
Growing Prosperity – What Does the Attitude of Obedience Have to Do With Prospering?
The Heart of Obedience
Growing prosperity is the result of obediently taking the right action steps that lead to abundance.
Manifestation also comes a whole lot quicker and easier when obedience is combined with the right attitude.
How about we take a look at the attitude of obedience?
We know the blessing of God follows obedience to His Word, but the attitude you have in your heart is important too.
The Attitude of Obedience
Many people obey God’s commands but they do it with a bad attitude. 🙁
“If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.”
— Isaiah 1:19
Notice this verse also includes our willingness be mixed with our obedience; in order to prosper and receive abundance. When we step out and act in obedience to the Word of God, regardless of what area, we should do so with a cheerful heart. 🙂
God loves a cheerful giver! (2 Corinthians 9:7)
If you are giving tithes and offerings, or honoring your father and mother, or worshipping God, or walking in love, or forgiving, or praying, it should be done with a positive and willing attitude. When we do what the Bible says we will eat the good of the land.
The opposite side of cheerful obedience is to be grudging or unwilling. The person who obeys, but has a wrong attitude receives a different reward. Keep in mind; we do not have an excuse to disobey. We simply need to adjust the attitude of our heart to line up with our obedience.
Here is some good news: The Lord searches the whole earth to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward Him. (2 Chronicles 16:9) Perfect here means to have a completely willing heart before God.
Now is the time to start putting this into action. Let’s choose today to not only obey God, but to keep a right attitude when we do. God can do something with us when we have a willing heart. At this very moment He is searching to show himself strong on our behalf and help us prosper and abound.
May your willingness and obedience fill your life with growing prosperity!
Be blessed to be a blessing –

Abundant Prosperity – If You Want True Riches Hear What God Has to Say About Your Money!
Abundant Prosperity – If You Want True Riches Hear What God Has to Say About Your Money!
Want to Manifest True Riches?
Abundant prosperity is available in all areas of your life.
It is important that you don’t limit prosperity only to finances.
True riches equals much more than money or things: it also includes spiritual blessings like wisdom and peace.
If you want true riches in your life, you need to listen to what God has to say about the matter.
God has plenty to say about your money. He actually talks more about money in the Bible than even prayer. Yet it is a subject that most believers don’t want to talk about. Or at least they don’t want to hear what the Lord has to say about money.
Let’s look at a couple key areas you should pay attention to.
YOUR HEART FOLLOWS YOUR TREASURE
If you want to know what someone loves, look at what they spend their money on. What you invest your finances on is a reflection of what you love.
“Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
— Luke 12:34
Where and what you spend your money on does more than reflect the condition of your heart. Your spending also decides the direction that your heart will go. This is good news. You can choose where your heart will go, by choosing what you invest your finances on.
Where do you want your heart to be?
If you want it to be with your spouse, then spend money on your spouse. If you want it to be with your house, vehicles, toys, and possessions, then spend your money on those things. Do you want your heart to be with God? Then tithe and invest your finances in the things of God. Investing in Him brings great returns.
FAITHFULNESS WITH YOUR MONEY OPENS THE DOOR TO TRUE RICHES
Another key step you must learn is how to be faithful with your finances. If you are not dependable, reliable, generous, and faithful with your finances, God will not commit to you true riches.
“If you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?”
— Luke 16:11
Money is not really true riches. True riches are revelation, wisdom, favor, and other spiritual blessings of the Lord.
Are you getting this? God is saying if you are a faithful and generous giver, then you open the door for Him to do things in your life that money can’t do.
Unfortunately, Christians often don’t want to be talked to about how they handle their money; instead only about spiritual things. Yet, God is trying to tell you that He’s not going to entrust you with spiritual things if you’re not first faithful when it comes to your finances. They go hand-in-hand and you need to prove you are able to handle the money you now have in order to be entrusted with more and also the true riches of spiritual blessings.
Do yourself a favor and begin to listen to what God has to say about how you should handle your money. Then trust and follow His directions. Believe He will take care of you financially and know that following His plan will open the door to true riches and abundant prosperity in your life.
May your faithfulness result in spiritual blessings and continued growing prosperity!
Be blessed to be a blessing –

Growing Prosperity or Poverty? Thank Goodness You Can Choose the Abundance of God!
Growing Prosperity or Poverty? Thank Goodness You Can Choose the Abundance of God!
The Path of Growing Prosperity
Growing prosperity and living the abundant life is something most people desire.
Wouldn’t you agree?
Isn’t that why you are reading this right now?
But is it a bad desire?
Consider those who don’t seek a life of growing prosperity and the abundance of God. They often believe the desire to prosper is selfish. And yes, within the ranks of those that seem to be prospering will be a scattering of selfish and greedy people. We do not have to look far in this world to find a selfish person in any arena of life.
But get this: The same group of people that believe it is ungodly to prosper, also seem to think it is a spiritual quality to be poor.
Take note, you cannot be greedy and truly prosper. Part of the spiritual law of prosperity is giving to God and also being a generous giver with others. You simply have to give in order to receive.
Look at this Bible verse:
“There is that scatters, and yet increases; and there is that withholds more than is meet, but it tends to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat and he that waters shall be watered also himself.”
— Proverbs 11:24-25
What does this say? When you scatter and give, you’ll have increase. When you withhold and keep more for yourself than you should, it leads to poverty. When you are generous and bless others you will prosper.
Why do you want to have more money, a nicer house, closer relationships, more free time, a stronger faith? I think you would agree it is with the thought of others in mind more than yourself.
Growing prosperity provides the ability to give to others in a greater measure and in a greater quality. This in turn brings great satisfaction in life.
What a great feeling to be able to move your family into a nicer house in a safer neighborhood. There is nothing better in this world than a prosperous marriage. It is a great feeling to upgrade the car and know your family is driving a safe, dependable vehicle. And to have the free time to be spend with your family and serve in your community is so valuable. Having abundance financially to give generously to those in need is and wonderful position to be in.
The abundance of God is more than financial and material. It is God’s desire that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. (3 John 2) Prospering spiritually is the ultimate. There is nothing greater than strong faith and a close walk with God! And the closer you walk in obedience to God, the greater His involvement in your growing prosperity.
Thank goodness you can decide which path you’ll take in life. Even if you are currently in poverty, there is hope and expectations of better things to come. The abundance of God is waiting for you as you begin to honor the Lord and follow His principles and laws of prosperity.
May your life continue to abound with growing prosperity!

Growing Prosperity – Build Your Financial World a Little at a Time and You Will Increase!
Growing Prosperity – Build Your Financial World a Little at a Time and You Will Increase!
Abundant Prosperity a Little at a Time
Growing prosperity is the best way to have financial abundance.
Grow it step-by-step and little-by-little.
Lasting success comes a little at a time.
Have you been found guilty of chasing after some get rich quick schemes that sounded too good to pass by?
Well you are not alone.
People are doing the very same thing daily.
I must confess I have had my own share of chasing down the wrong path and I learned a valuable lesson!
Get Your Riches Quick – Lose Your Riches Quick
Wealth that is gained quickly diminishes and fades away. In most cases, it is the result of being spent foolishly with no long-term benefit. Proverbs has a verse that tries to warn us and help us with this.
“Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathers by labor shall increase.” — Proverbs 13:11
I’m not shocked that many people waste time looking for ways to get rich quick. But it is unfortunate. And one doesn’t have to look far to find something to chase after.
Do any of these sound familiar? Find out how to make a seven figure income monthly on autopilot with no work involved. Win a billion dollars in the lottery and be set for life. Or enter the latest sweepstakes to win lots of money.
Abundant Prosperity – A Little at a Time
When we build our financial world a little at a time, it will increase. A dollar may not look significant these days, but it is. Even the small things will begin to add up when they are added to each other.
Right off the bat we must value and manage the little before we can manage a lot. We have to be faithful stewards with the finances we have if we want God to trust us with true riches. (Luke 16:11)
It never fails; when we do honest work for our money, we increase. God says He will increase us when we gather by labor; just like the end of Proverbs 13:11 says in the quote above.
Honest work gets results. Notice also that the two words “honest” and “work” are missing from the get rich quick plans.
Do yourself a favor: Don’t trust in quick riches that are soon gone. Build your financial world a little at a time, and experience the long-term benefits of success and abundant prosperity. Doing things God’s way brings lasting success and financial abundance.
May you build your financial world little-by-little and experience growing prosperity!

Abundance of God! Can You Unlock Prosperity by 3 Tried and True Keys?
Abundance of God! Can You Unlock Prosperity by 3 Tried and True Keys?
Unlock Unlimited Abundance and Growing Prosperity!
The abundance of God provides material, physical, emotional, and spiritual prosperity.
Tapping into His source is tapping into a never ending flow.
How can ungodly people experience financial success?
This is a commonly asked question. You need to understand that anyone can reach a level of prosperity by simply following natural laws.
However, a supernatural prosperity is available by also following God’s spiritual laws for success.
Start enjoying the good life God has made available for you!
3 Tried and True Keys to Unlock Your Prosperity:
1.) TRUST GOD AS YOUR SOURCE
He owns everything. You need to recognize you only manage the things in your possession. All your abilities, talents, and possessions come from God.
Note, the one thing you are allowed to have ownership of, is your will. You can make your own choices and determine how you want to live. When you choose to partner with God and acknowledge Him, you cannot fail!
In Chronicles 26:5 it reminds us that as long as we seek the Lord, He will make us to prosper.
2.) OBEY NATURAL LAWS OF ABUNDANCE
God has set up natural laws for you to live by. These include laws, that when followed, help attract prosperity into your life. Time has proven them to be successful.
The four primary natural laws that determine your measure of abundance are: mind, money, time, and relationships.
First, you must get control of your thought life and manage your mind. Choose to think positive and envision the life you desire. These thoughts will then get planted into your subconscious, which goes to work making them a reality.
Manage the money you have. God says we have to be faithful with the little we have before we can be trusted with more. Learn to budget, tithe, give generously, shop smart, invest wisely, live within your means, etcetera.
Control your time and use it wisely. We all have the same amount of hours in a day. Make the right choices to plan and prioritize your day to accomplish more.
Your relationships can make you or break you. You should never underestimate the influence that those around you have. Choose your friends and companions wisely.
3.) OBEY SPIRITUAL LAWS OF ABUNDANCE
Have faith in the promises of God. They are true and like money in the bank. You can depend on God’s Word to come to pass. His Word has the power to bring riches greater than financial into your life.
“Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.” – 3 John 2
The measure you sow is the measure you reap, and you will reap what you sow in life.
Seek God’s kingdom first and turn your life over to Him. Psalm 84:11 tells us that He withholds no good thing from them that walk uprightly. Things don’t always manifest overnight, so learn to walk by faith and keep your trust in the living God.
Truth be told: Nothing is impossible when God is on the scene. So seek Him and partner up. Seeking and obeying God’s laws is the key to unlock unlimited prosperity and abundance.
May you tap into God’s unlimited abundance and continue to experience growing prosperity!

P.S. How are these working in your life?
Prosperous Living – Does God Want You to Prosper and Live in Abundance?
Prosperous Living – Does God Want You to Prosper and Live in Abundance?
Prosperous Living is Within Reach!
Prosperous living is a choice you can make.
If your life is in chaos and a big mess of bills and debt; it probably feels like God does not want you to prosper.
Do not be discouraged: God wants you to be blessed and live in abundance!
Once we grasp the fact that God wants us to prosper, we can begin to turn things around.
God Wants You to Be Prosperous
It is important to know that God wants His children to be blessed. Look at the following message He gave us and you’ll see what I mean.
“Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.”
— 3 John 2
Think about it: Just like a good father wants to provide for his natural children, our heavenly Father wants to prosper us. He wants us to always have what we need, and yet also be blessed to be a blessing to others.
Get Your Mind Prospering
This was like an undiscovered diamond to me for sure: The amount of prosperity we manifest and enjoy is directly related to how much of the Word of God we have put in our heart (spirit). This starts with filling our mind (soul) with these truths and then as we think and speak them they get planted in our heart.
What’s the explanation for this? The more of these truths we have in our heart, the stronger our beliefs and the greater our faith will be.
And here is where it gets really interesting: The greater our faith, the more we will be able to look to God as the source of our prosperity and tap into His supply.
As a result, we will trust that He will not withhold any good thing from us. He is just waiting for us to get in a position to receive so He can bless us. And it just continues to get better… because when we get blessed, we in turn can be a blessing to others!
No doubt about it: The abundance of God is a never ending supply. God’s greatest desire for His people is that we walk in the fullness of His prosperity. In order for us to prosper we must first be sure our soul is prospering. Soon we will experience the abundance of God and prosperous living.
May your soul prosper and your life be full of growing prosperity!

Prosperity – Can I Show You 4 Keys to Attract the Abundant Life?
Apply These 4 Keys to Attract ‘More Than Enough’ Prosperity!
Prosperity and abundance follow laws as exact as that of the law of mathematics.
It will not act unless all the necessary conditions are met.
If we obey the law, we get the desired results. If we don’t follow the law, things don’t equate to the correct outcome.
Are you with me still?
Attracting prosperity and abundance simply requires following its law.
The following four keys will help guide you on your journey.
#1 – Acknowledge the Source:
God is the creator and source of all supply. No doubt about it. Nothing is impossible when God is your partner. God wants you to prosper and He is the one who gives you the ability to gain wealth. He will direct your paths when you acknowledge him.
“God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
#2 – Get the Vision:
Our thoughts become reality. We are told in Proverbs 23:7 that we are what we think in our hearts.
What we think about is what we attract. That’s why it is so important to get a clear vision of the goal we want to prosper in. Make your mind a magnet that will attract your desired outcome. Do this by meditating, living and feeling the reality of your goal in your mind.
#3 – Take Action:
Make a plan of action and then put some physical energy into attracting your desire. Faith is backing up what you believe with action. Speak and confess your vision daily.
Remember, God’s Word is His will for you, so make sure you speak the same thing God says about you. 3 John 1:2 tells us that God wants us to prosper and be in health even as our soul prospers.
Start being a generous giver. You have to give to receive. God multiplies seed sown.
Psalm 1:3 says whatever we DO will prosper. So make sure you’re doing something.
#4 – Never Quit:
Don’t give up! Run to win.
Some things take time. Results don’t always happen overnight.
Don’t let doubts come in and short circuit the connection to your goal and attract the opposite. Poor thinkers are poor. Prosperous thinkers prosper.
Continue to speak only the desired results for your life and fight discouragement with positive affirmations daily. Speak success.
So there you have it: Develop yourself in these four key areas, then watch as prosperity and abundance is drawn to you and manifested in your life. With God as your partner, you have access to an unlimited creative power to have an abundant overflow onto you and those around you.
May you be blessed to be a blessing and have growing prosperity!
Soar higher,
Brenda
