PROSPERITY WEEK
Introduction
THE QUALIFICATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY.
Kingdom prosperity is not a about head education but about heart transformation. That in everything we do, we need to understand that God is after our heart FIRST. The scripture makes it clear that we should “seek FIRST the kingdom”. Which means we should seek after God’s way of doing things.
So, we are going to be looking at the kingdom way, God’s way of prosperity. Not the worlds way. The world has its own way of making money. But we want “the blessing of the LORD that makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it”. Proverbs 10:22 NKJV
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2 NKJV
God’s will is that we prosper in all things and be in good health so we can enjoy the Blessings He has already instore for us in Christ. He is not opposed to we having things to meet our needs on earth so we can finish our assignment on earth.
God made the Earth and all the wealth in it ‘yesterday, today, and tomorrow ‘for His children.
We will be looking at the purpose behind it and how we can obtain it.
Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy. 1 Timothy 6:17 NKJV
THE QUALIFICATION FOR KINGDOM PROSPERITY.
God’s blessings and prosperity belong to all who follow His principles
The first key to start prospering God’s way is to be:
1.Born again.
To become a kingdom citizen. And the only way is through Jesus Christ.
And then you start believing that it is God’s will to prosper you. You see God as your source and not man. We need to build faith in God through His word as our father (Matthew 7:9-11) When you start seeing God as your source and not man, He “..will supply all your needs according to His Riches” Phil. 4:19
God is not lack of resources. God is not poor. He made the Earth and all the wealth in it.
Second key is to:
2. Honor God
It means to put Him FIRST.
“Seek first the kingdom of God”. Matthew 6:33
Your heart has to be right toward God. What makes what we do or offer to God acceptable or unacceptable is your heart.
The Lord rejected Cain’s offering, which means there must be something wrong. Something that he did not do right. What He brought wasn’t his best. He just brought some left overs. Whatever we do for the Lord must be spiritual. It must be in Faith.
The Third Key is:
3. Wisdom
With wisdom comes wealth.
Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold; [11] For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her. Proverbs 8:10-11 NKJV
Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness. [19] My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver. Proverbs 8:18-19 NKJV
“And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.Deuteronomy 8:18 NKJV
You need to get wisdom first and grow with it.
Statistics in America of those who won the lottery, the majority lost all their money after three years and became worse than before.
That is what happens when you have more money than senses.
Many don’t have the wisdom so that they can keep it. You need to get wisdom first and grow with it.
And the place to find wisdom is in the word.
You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; For they are ever with me. [99] I have more understanding than all my teachers, For Your testimonies are my meditation. Psalm 119:98-99 NKJV
