The Prosperity Anointing
Manage episode 437856938 series 1193195
What is prosperity?
Prosperity is not just material success, it is having all our thoughts and actions being in line with God's Word. It is the result of commitment and dedication to the will of God, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers" (3 John 2). God has the power to prosper us spiritually, physically and emotionally. If we are seeking God with all our hearts, His thoughts and plans will be shown in our lives, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope" (Jeremiah 29:11).
Over the last several years, there has been an abundance of teaching on the subject of prosperity. Books, tapes, conferences and television programs have invaded the Christian world on this issue. Many of these messages seem to promise happiness and wealth as God's sign of approval and favour on us. On the other hand, there are others who insist that to be devout or pious, we have to be physically and materially poor.
What then should our attitude towards financial prosperity?
As the Lord helps me, I want to address this important subject. I believe there are principles of prosperity that we can apply in our lives that will guarantee our success, but above all, God is looking for a pure people, a new breed that is full of faith and the Spirit, who will become partners with Him and be partakers of His covenant to establish His Kingdom in this generation, believers who will be faithful to pay the price of obedience in achieving the fullness of His blessings!
Just because some have taken the prosperity message to the extreme (by perverting and polluting it into what I'll call a "carnal, self-centred gospel" do not negate the truth that it is the heart and will of God that we prosper according to His ways. It is time that we seek the Lord for who He is, not just for what He can do.
We need to seek the "Promiser" Himself, not just for the promises. Our pursuit is to know His heart, not just see His hand move. Today, there are those who are only interested in seeking signs and wonders, but let us cry out to the One who alone satisfies.
