Notes

Is it God's will for you to prosper?

3 John 2

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Psalm 35:27

Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, “Let the Lord be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

Job 36:11

If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasures.

Psalm 118:25

Save now, I beseech thee, O Lord: O Lord, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.

Joshua‬ ‭1‬:‭8‬ ‬‬

This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

What is the purpose of Biblical Prosperity?

To fulfill the Great Commission

Mark 16:15

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

Go requires money
God prospers us so we can do His work! His plan is for us to share the gospel with the world and help people in need.
Prosperity isn’t just about having more—it’s about using what we have to make a difference for God!

5 Prosperity Myths Exposed

Prosperity is automatic

Salvation alone does not guarantee financial blessing.
There are biblical principles to follow and practical solutions that should not be ignored.
The scriptures are filled with principles for prosperity, such as:
Diligent work
Tithe
Invest wisely
Create business plans
Be shrewd (forward thinking) in your business dealings
Save
Deal honestly with others
Do not co-sign
Be overwhelmingly generous
2. Only Tithe

When you made Jesus the Lord of your life, you also made Him the Lord of your money.
The tithe is 10 percent of your gross income that should go directly to YOUR local church to spread the gospel.
But you cannot do what you want with the remaining 90 percent of your money.
Say, "The Lord has authority over all of my money.”
How you steward 100 percent of your money will determine how wealthy you will become, not just how you steward 10 percent of your money.

3. All Christians are called to be very wealthy.

While God has called the body of Christ to steward great wealth, not all individual Christians can manage large sums of money.
Not everyone is called to become a multimillionaire.
But everyone is called to prosper and fund the gospel.

4. God wants you to prosper solely for your enjoyment.

Biblical prosperity is more about pleasing the Lord and funding the spread of the gospel than it is about acquiring wealth for personal happiness.
If you seek first His kingdom with your finances, then He will add things to your life

1 Timothy 6:17 NLT

Teach those who are rich in this world not to be proud and

not to trust in their money, which is so unreliable. Their

trust should be in God, who richly gives us all we need for

our enjoyment.

5. Money is the key to breaking the spirit of poverty
