THE ORIGIN OF PROSPERITY
You cannot move toward prosperity without the seed of God's Word first entering your life. Your first concern must be the prosperity of your soul, which determines your position in life. When your soul is prospering, you will see results (tangible materials). God's Word is your foundation for prosperity and the water that your financial seeds need in order to grow.
A. Power is a necessary element to move you from one place in your life to another (Deuteronomy 8: 17-18): -
1. God has given you power to get wealth.
2. You must arise, or "change your posture and position", in order for prosperity to manifest itself in your life (Isaiah 60:1).
3. If you are born again, you are the seed of Abraham and have a right to the promises of God.
B. God takes pleasure in your prosperity because He is magnified in it (Psalm 35:27): -
1. Society has reduced prosperity to money, but God is interested in total life prosperity, which includes, but is not limited to, money.
2. Jesus came to preach the Gospel to the poor - those who were lacking something.
3. It is possible to be rich in material assets and poor in other areas of your life (Revelation 3:17).
4. If you take the seed of God's Word and put it in your heart, then wealth and riches will be in your house (Psalm 112:1-3).
C. The seed of God's Word controls the outcome of your endeavors in the kingdom of God: -
1. Prosperity is born out of truth - if you don't love truth, you'll never be free from trials (Psalm 45:3-4).
2. Wisdom and light lead to mighty works (Matthew 13:54).
a. Light comes when revelation knowledge of the Word enters your heart.
3. The Word of God is the all-controlling seed (Luke 8:11).
4. To prosper in any area, you have to have revelation knowledge of that particular area.
