7 Proven Ways to Shortcut Your Path to Wealth

Growing prosperity is a process and a journey.

One of the paths, we all want to take on this journey, is the path to wealth…

And we want to reach this destination in life as quickly as possible.

So what are some shortcuts you can take on your path to wealth?

There are many time-tested and proven shortcuts that we can see the wealthy have in common. Some so seemingly simple that they are often overlooked in value. However, even though they may appear ‘simple’, do not underestimate the power they can have when put into action.

Without further ado, here are seven of the best ones I have discovered:

Top 7 Proven Ways to Shortcut Your Path to Wealth

1.) Acknowledge God as Your Source

Who is your source? Many people make the mistake of thinking that their job is their source of supply. But they need to realize that God is the source and uses their work as a means to let the funds flow to them.

Expect God to bless you. And remember problems and needs are opportunities for God to provide for you. His abundance is unlimited.

2.) Knowledge is Power

Is your knowledge limited? More often than not, our knowledge is far too limited to make the best financial decisions that lead to wealth.

Solomon cautions us in Proverbs 15:22, that without counsel, plans are frustrated, but with many counselors they succeed. By seeking the counsel and wisdom of others, we radically expand our knowledge and ability to make wise financial decisions.

3.) Honor God with Your Tithes

Are you a tither? Wealthy and successful people are found to give ten percent or more of their income to charity. Those that honor God with their tithe (10 percent of their income), have the right to stand on the promise in Malachi 3:10 that says, “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse… and prove me now, saith the Lord, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”

“Tithing seems to put a person in touch with some mysterious force that attracts money.”
— Norman Vincent Peale

4.) Be a Generous Giver

Do you exhibit generosity; the quality that receives more than it gives? Giving has been compared to waving a magic wand that manifests prosperity.

There is a well known proverb that tells us that those who give generously to others will gain back even more than they give. (Proverbs 11:24-25) Sound impossible? Just try it and see!

5.) Learn to Save

Have you developed the habit of saving? The discipline of consistently saving even small amounts, regularly over time, is a practice that leads to financial success. The savings habit, combined with growing knowledge to make wise investments, will shortcut your path to wealth.

6.) Stay Out of Bad Debt

Do you recognize that debt is a problem? The borrower is slave to the lender. (Proverbs 22:7) The majority of people in debt continue to get deeper in debt. The spirit of ‘keeping up with the Jones’ is a problem. Debt is your enemy.

“Debt is a merciless master. It will do everything it can to destroy you.”
– Napoleon Hill

7.) Be Thankful

Are you a thankful person? God gave you wisdom and He gave you ability. It is His will that you are blessed to be a blessing. Do you give Him thanks for your job; which provides you monetary gain? Do you give thanks to all that you have been allowed to be steward over?

Being thankful and appreciative for the little creates an atmosphere for future growth.

So there you have it: Why not use these seven proven shortcuts on your path to wealth?

May you shortcut your path to wealth and enjoy a life of growing prosperity!

Be blessed to be a blessing –

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,
Brenda

P.S. Have you recognized a time in your life that God blessed you to be a blessing and it resulted in a positive witness to the goodness of God? If so, feel free to share and leave a comment…

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

Build Your Financial World Little by LittleGrowing 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!

Be blessed to be a blessing –

Growing Prosperity – How to Reach Out and Grab Your Share of Super Abundance!

Growing Prosperity – How to Reach Out and Grab Your Share of Super Abundance!

Tap Into the Abundance Plan

Super Abundance of GodSuper abundance is just waiting for you to claim your share.

If your current situation is full of lack, that doesn’t mean it has to stay that way.

You can choose to step out of your plans that led you to lack…

and step into new found plans that lead to growing prosperity.

Choose the Abundant Life

Even if at this very moment, you are at your lowest point in life, you can choose to overcome.

The Creator of the universe created a plan for you to be a success in life. When you call out to God for help, His power is made available to help you overcome any problem that has kept you bound and it can move you to an abundant place.

“I called upon the Lord in distress: the Lord answered me, and set me in a large place.”
– Psalm 118:5

The same God that created the universe is more than able to meet all your needs.

He is able to give you the wisdom and strength to get a good job or build a successful business. He can move you from living paycheck to paycheck, with piles of debt, and into abundance.

Step out of the stress and frustration and let God pull you to a higher level.

Tap Into the Abundance Plan

Once you choose abundance and accept that it is God’s will for your life, then you need to understand His plan so that it can manifest in your life.

How do you do this? By spending time in the Word of God and in prayer; He will reveal His plans.

As your understanding increases, adjust your life and make changes as needed. Move forward in faith, not fear.

Consider God revealing His plans to Moses; plans to take the children of Israel out of bondage and into a super abundant land. When the 12 spies came back to report on the Promised Land, 10 came back with an unbelieving, bad report which caused the people to fear and believe the words of men instead of the Word of God.

Two came back with a good report; Joshua and Caleb. They understood there was serious wealth in the Promised Land that was laid up for those that God delights in. And God delights in those who live by faith. His plan is to reward them.

“He brought me forth also into a large place: He delivered me, because He delighted in me.”
– 2 Samuel 22:20

Today we face a similar challenge as we spy out the plan of blessing God has provided for us.

How long will it take before we decide to believe God’s promise of abundance? Regardless of what bad report we may hear, we must choose the plan of God.

  • God is ready to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20)
  • He provided a way for you to have wealth and riches in your house. (Psalm 112:3)
  • He did this so that you can be blessed to be a blessing and His covenant can be established on the earth. (Deuteronomy 8:18)

Go ahead; allow God to open the windows of heaven above you as you walk in His plan. Do not give up and do not let fear take you off course. Delight in his Word and grab your share of super abundance.

May your obedience to the Word of God fill your life with growing prosperity!

God bless,
Brenda

How to Attract Prosperity and Abundance with 3 Key Steps!

How to Attract Prosperity and Abundance with 3 Key Steps!

Unlock the Door to Unlimited Abundant Supply

Keys to AbundanceAttract prosperity and abundance in your life starting today.

There is no need to have poverty stricken thinking while there is unlimited abundance available to everyone.

The supply is there and already flowing right past your door…

…it rests with you to make the connection that will draw it to you.

Start making the connection today with these three key steps:

#1) SEEK THE SOURCE

God is the source of all supply. We need the power of God to gain wealth and prosper. Without Him the results we get on our own will be limited and half the time they will result in a mess.

We are told when the Lord makes a person rich He adds no sorrow to it. If we acknowledge God in our lives and seek Him, then He will direct our paths.

“Those that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.” — Psalm 34:10

#2) THINK ABUNDANT

The law of abundance and prosperity is as definite as the law of gravity. If you are not attracting the abundance you desire, you are most likely still under the mental bondage of limited poverty thinking. However, remember, there is no limitation in Him in whom all fullness lies.

“As a man thinks in his heart so is he.” — Proverbs 23:7

Think prosperous and allow yourself to believe and have confidence in God. You can flood your life with all good things when you have magnetizing faith to tap into the abundance flowing by you.

#3) STAY DETERMINED

You must DO everything to the finish and not quit!

You must believe you will prosper and you must practice what you believe, in order to get results. You must fling your energy into the work needed to reach your goals. Continue to maintain the right mental attitude, with a determination to turn your back on poverty and face toward the abundant life you desire.

You are a child of God, the creator and possessor of all things. His desire is that you prosper. So open your mind to the abundant current of supply He has provided for you.

Believe me: God knows not only what you need in your life, He knows how to help you attract it. Acknowledge Him daily. Let God do His part and you do your part. Then watch as you are blessed to be a blessing to others and attract prosperity and abundance.

May you continue to experience a life of growing prosperity!

Cheers,

Abundant Thinking – Will You Be Wealthy if You Win the Lottery This Week?

Abundant Thinking – Will You Be Wealthy if You Win the Lottery This Week?

Discover the Key to True Wealth!

abundance_of_god_wealthAbundance is something we can all tap into.

The prosperous, wealthy life is about money and finances, but, and make that a big but, it does not start or stop there.

So the question is: If you were to win the lottery today, or come into some great unexpected inheritance, of say five million dollars, would you be wealthy?

It is commonly known that the majority of lottery winners end up right back where they started or sometimes in even worst conditions.

A large sum of money, suddenly deposited into your bank account does not make you wealthy. It only adds some extra zeros to your account balance for a certain amount of time.

Money Is Not All It Takes To Be Wealthy

Are you saying about now “Just show me the money and I’ll be happy.”?

Money is a critical part of wealth and we all need it to live on. I agree. Nobody likes to be broke. However, as important as money is, it is only a part of wealth.

Money is just money.

True prosperity and wealth is the abundance of God. And as His child, God wants you to live in abundance and get out of the “poverty” mentality. God wants you to seek wisdom and be blessed with abundance in all areas of your life; spiritually, physically, and financially.

Deep down I’m sure you know this to be true. Now, unless you change some things in your life, you will stay in a cycle and always ends up right back where you started; before you came into money or any other blessing.

True Wealth Requires Wisdom and the Right Mindset

There are numerous stories of people that have prospered financially and then for one reason or another lost all they had. Yet they also had something else in their lives that allowed them to turn back around and become financially prosperous once again.

What set these successful people apart? They had wisdom and maintained the right mindset.

Wisdom and the right abundant, prosperous, and wealthy mindset allow you to manifest amazing results in your life!

No secret about it: Being wealthy requires filling your mind with the right thoughts. If you find yourself over and over in a position you do not want to be in, then it is about time you have an overhaul on your thought life.

Renew Your Mind

Renewing your mind is a process and requires work.

There are no magic thoughts or words that bring instant wealth. It is a growing process that changes you from the inside out and eventually becomes manifested in your life.

Are you with me still? The sooner you start the sooner you’ll experience the positive changes you desire.

Discover what the truly wealthy think about. Find out what the Word of God has to say about true riches. Then begin to activate your faith in these areas by speaking these things out loud to yourself and over your life. Put the law of attraction into motion.

A sample daily confession:

“Because I diligently seek the wisdom of God, riches and honor are with me, enduring riches and righteousness, my fruit is better than gold, and wisdom causes me to inherit wealth and my bank accounts to be full.”
(Proverbs 8:17-19, 21)

Get started today: Take control of your thought life and elevate your level of success. Be all that God intends you to be and be blessed to be a blessing. Watch your life transform as you seek wisdom and choose to think and speak abundance.

May you seek wisdom and renew your mind daily and continue to experience growing prosperity!

God bless you –

Cheers,
Brenda

How Do You Open the Door to Get Abundant Wealth?

How Do You Open the Door to Get Abundant Wealth?

Discover the Keys to Open the Door to a Prosperous Life! 

 Open Door to AbundanceAbundant wealth doesn’t have to be a dream . . .

It can be your reality.

A strong desire, backed up by faith,

has the power to . . .

open the door to an abundant life of prosperity.

 First Things First

We first need to seek the Source of all supply. We need the power of God to gain wealth and riches. Trying to gain it on your own will only bring limited success. Working with God is working under a supernatural law and obviously much more effective than just working under natural law alone.

Why seek God as your source?

  • He is the one who gives you the power to get wealth. (Deuteronomy 8:18)
  • God is also the one who will give you the desires of your heart. (Psalm 37:4)
  • Riches and wealth are a gift from God. (Ecclesiastes 5:19)
  • Those that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. (Psalm 34:10)

A Desire for Wealth

Do you have a will to gain wealth? When desire is in you it is a powerful force. If you desire wealth you will have an image of it in your mind. You give life to that image when you speak about it and back it up with faith.

When the desire comes from God’s Word, it is truly a tree of life. Then you will have supernatural help to reveal directions in reaching your desire. Your tree will grow roots that tap into the unlimited stream of abundance.

Just remember, you cannot serve both God and riches. But you can serve God and have riches. It is okay to have money as long as money doesn’t have you. Be blessed to be a blessing. If you seek God first, you will know His will and He will give you the desires of your heart and open the door to abundant wealth.

May you continue to experience a life of growing prosperity!

Be blessed to be a blessing,
Brenda
