From Here to Prosperity

“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 [Abrahamic covenant], as it is this day.” (Deuteronomy 8:18)

What is God’s reason for prospering His people? Is it so we can wear designer clothes, buy bigger houses and more luxurious cars? Establishing God’s covenant on earth by winning lost souls and giving to the needy – those are God’s purposes for prosperity! You may have thought, “Jesus’ ministry was poor.” In the Bible, God promised material blessings to anyone who would walk perfectly before Him, who’d obey His Word. If God had failed to bless Jesus financially, He would have been breaking His own Word. Jesus took care of all His disciples and ministry workers so we know He wasn’t poor. A poor man does not need a treasurer like Judas. A poor man does not have a seamless designer cloak that was so nice that soldiers cast lots for it.

Jesus was the greatest giver who ever lived, and we should be following in His footsteps. If we’ll start giving, if we’ll start taking care of the needs in people’s lives and pocketbooks, we’ll be far more likely to win their hearts. What will happen to a starving nation like Afghanistan when you bring in a 747 full of food, clothes, medical supplies and Bibles to them in the Name of Jesus and His love? The hearts of those people are going to soften from the ravages of Islam and they’ll be willing to listen to what we have to say about Jesus and the good news of salvation.

Don’t let anyone tell you it’s wrong to want to prosper. It’s wrong for you not to prosper when that prosperity can mean the difference between heaven and hell for billions of people, including your friends and family who are not saved. The purpose of prosperity is to display the wealth of God’s glory and to finance the great end times harvest of souls. Forget about your own needs, raise your vision and set your mind on giving to meet
someone else’s, on establishing God’s covenant on earth. Then stand fast in faith, obey the Word and get ready to enjoy the greatest prosperity you’ve ever known for the harvest is NOW. Not only can you enjoy prosperity when you obey God, but you can enjoy it From Here to Eternity too.
