Our
desire to purse a business venture or a job is
so that we may prosper, but let us not forget that Prosperity begins in
the house of the Lord:
Yes! You can prosper in all things! You can
have
peace of mind, good health, a worthwhile career a wonderful marriage, fine
children and, on top of all this, you
can have plenty of money to enjoy life.
Does
this sound too good to be true? Well, it's not, because God has
promised all this to us. Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in
health, even as thy soul prosper. (3 John 1:2). It
is God's desire that you prosper, but realize that
prosperity is not just about finances. It is taken from the Hebrew word
shalom,
which means to have wholeness and completeness in life. God
told Joshua to
"meditate on the Law
(God's Word) day and
night," and as a
result, you will be
prosperous and
successful
wherever you go"
(Joshua 1:7-8). "David
agrees with this, for he
writes, Blessed is the man
who meditates
"day
and night on the Law.
Whatever he does prospers"
(Psalms
1:1-3).
This
is what prompted Paul to
write, "Command those who are rich in this present
world not to be arrogant nor
to put their hope in wealth,
which is so uncertain, but
to put their hope in God,
who richly provides us with
everything for our
enjoyment" (1 Timothy
6:17).
I leave you
with this thought God said:
For I know the plans I
have for you,"
declares the LORD, "plans
to prosper youand
not to harm you, plans
to give you hope and
a future (Jeremiah
29:1).
I pray that you will
lean not on your own
understanding but in all
your ways acknowledge God so
that He may direct your path.
Read you bible daily so that you may
prosper and be in health
even as your soul prospers!!
