The Bible says, “The prosperity of fools shall destroy them” (Proverbs 1:32). Who is a fool?
Read Proverbs 14:9 from your Bible
Fools mock sin—“It doesn’t matter”, they say. And so He doesn’t allow them to move near it, He keeps it from them.
Fools in the kingdom don’t prosper. And we have seen that fools are those who make a mockery at sin, those who sin doesn’t move, those who are comfortable with it. But the righteous shall flourish, they shall enter into the realm of true prosperity.
It is cheap to connect purity with plenty. The Holiest of all is the wealthiest of all, even the Almighty Himself. He said, “The silver is mine and the gold is mine.” And we have heard it said that, “the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world and all that dwell therein, the cattle upon a thousand hills.” All these belong to God, the Holiest of all!
So we really don’t have to go far to understand that purity begets plenty. Personal purity guarantees personal plenty. Impurity is an enemy of plenty.
Many have preached prosperity, many can quote many scriptures on it, but very few experience it. Iniquity is one of the greatest reasons why it is so.
Your heart and habits go a long way in your desire for prosperity. If you can put your heart in line with God, and your habit under covenant control, you’ve got it. If only you can let go of all that lying and cheating, all that unholy and ungodly scheming you’re carrying on in your business, which are the reasons why you’re going around in circles.
But there’s victory for you today! You probably might have identified one area of weakness or the other, where the devil has been playing tricks on you; begin to use the blood of Jesus against it now. That anger, that fury, that vulgar language, begin to use the blood against them!
God is going to prosper His Church, but for Him to prosper you as a person, you must attain unto a level of consecration that will not let money bring you into corruption.
Friend, you can have money without money having you! It’s possible! Many have proved it.
God is the lifter of the righteous! We saw that in Job. He was a perfect man, one that feared God and eschewed evil, and he was so blessed of God that he became the greatest man in the east. Job was a hater of iniquity and a lover of righteousness.
When sin goes, lack dies! Giving will never be equal to prosperity until the foundation is in place, you can give from now till you die and not see any returns!
shalom!
