Generosity will bring forth financial prosperity in our life. The act of generosity will bring forth not only a blessing to the receiver but also to the one who gave. Give and it shall be given to you pressed down, shaken together and running over. Our God rewards those who are generous to others. It's near impossible to receive true financial prosperity without being generous.

Everything we do in life requires a level of faith. Faith requires us to have a positive outlook on life. Those with a victim mentality rob themselves of receiving God’s blessing. Faith for financial prosperity must have a prerequisite of spiritual prosperity. Financial prosperity without spiritual growth will bring trials. As our faith increases, so will prosperity in our lives.

We must avoid having financial prosperity as our primary goal for life. The Bible tells us that those who seek only riches will be led into temptations and destructive habits. Money is not evil but the love and craving for it has destroyed marriages and families. Our Lord prospers those who seek Him and He never adds sorrow to his blessings. He is a rewarded of those who bless others.

What does prosperity and success mean to you? Almost everyone desires to have both of these in their life. The Lord has a plan for His people to prosper. Our God wants us to be successful. Financial prosperity and success is the result of living a godly life. The elements of these are love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control.

Pray before we make financial decisions. All the financial decisions we've made to this point have determined where we are financially today. Always evaluate the good and bad sides of each decision. Seek counsel from others before making decisions. Make a list of all your good and bad decisions and avoid making the bad one’s again. Be thankful for the lessons we have learned from our past mistakes.

The Lord will bless those who deal with their finances in an ethical manner. Integrity, honesty and truth must be the goal of those desiring God's blessing for financial prosperity. We must always avoid any form of greed. We will live a prosperous life when we are ethical in our finances. Both sides should win in any financial transaction. Ethical prosperity requires spiritual prosperity.

We must listen to the instructions of the Lord. When we learn to look forward to instruction found in God’s word, it will bless us. The bible tells us to avoid any form of greed. When that happens, the Lord promises us a long and prosperous life. God wants us to prosper and be in good health even as our soul prospers. We must call forth those things that are not as though they are.

There are many steps to financial prosperity. This session provides several that are crucial to success in our finances. First, we must believe in prayer. Second, we must set a time to pray about financial decisions. Be consistent in your plan to be successful. It requires avoiding get rich quick schemes. Hard work and being obedient to the Lord’s financial plans for us will bring prosperity.

Without wisdom we will never experience wealth. Anyone can get rich by winning the lottery or eceiving an inheritance. However, it takes a lifetime to become wealthy. Often rich men take credit for their financial success. But what God calls wealth will come only to those who seek God for prosperity. Wealth is eternal and being rich in this world is temporal.

The prosperity message has been misrepresented by some around the world. On the other hand, it has also been taught correctly by those who base their teaching on God’s word. How do we know what is correct and what is false teaching? Biblical prosperity requires obedience to God. Without obedience to God and His plan to prosper us, we will never receive the true riches of our God.

We must all evaluate our definition of success. The same rule applies to our understanding of prosperity. First, we need to determine how God looks at prosperity and success. Through his word, we see clear instructions on how to obtain both. The Bible tells us God wants to prosper us in all things and be in good health even as our soul prospers. He wants us to prosper financially.

Since the Garden of Eden, God has desired to see His people prosper. Adam and Eve never lacked for anything and they experienced the greatest level of prosperity anyone has ever known. As long as they were obedient to God's word they prospered. To this day our God desires to bless us. Obedience, a plan of action and hard work brings forth His prosperity.

I've heard it said all my life that no one knows the thoughts of God. However, I believe we connect our thoughts to His thoughts when we allow the Holy Spirit to teach us. We know God's word says His thoughts are higher and greater than ours. But that is only because we refuse to yield our thoughts to His Spirit. In our financial decisions, we must seek the Holy Spirit's help to connect our thoughts to God's.

Our God has a different way to do things than we do. We need to draw close to His ways, operate in His ways and then receive the benefits. When we come to the realization of why God defines his ways as greater than our ways: we will be in a position to gain financial wisdom. The word of God is a financial encyclopedia for prosperity in our future. Allow God to instruct us in His ways by studying His word.

We must never forget God's word is filled with every type of instruction we will ever need for making financial decisions. Always invite God to become a partner in our financial future. As His partner He becomes a part of every financial action we take. Pray and seek counsel over any financial partnership where you are considering participation.

In order to understand God is our source, we must first understand His resources. When the Bible says God owns the cattle on a thousand hills, it is referring to the fact that God owns everything. If you are seeking financial gain through investing, real estate, silver, gold and other opportunities, never forget God is our source because he is in control of everything.

We all know that God is our source for financial blessings. The Bible tells us that every good and perfect gift comes from the father. There are those who don't understand how God can be our source to bless us financially. I believe it's because they don't understand that not only is He our source, but he has unlimited resources. We will examine how we can connect into the resources of God. Not only does He have unlimited resources, but He has an unlimited desire to bless us.

Have you ever had a partnership with someone? Some of those go well and others don't do well at all. Why don't we think about asking God to be our partner in our financial decisions? He will be a partner with unlimited resources. A partner who is just, honest, trustworthy, and wants to bless you. This podcast will help you understand how you can form a partnership with the God of all creation. He desires to be your partner in every area of your life.

There are many programs designed to help us acquire financial success. Unless these programs are based upon the word of God they are of no eternal value. Have you ever considered inviting the Lord to be your senior partner in your financial plan for success? Open your heart as you listen to this episode to see how God, through the Holy Spirit will help you experience financial success. We will explain how God's Word shows how a partnership with Him will guarantee success.

A lack of peace in our life will cause significant problems with our financial decisions. As a pastor, the number of individuals I counseled who were lacking peace in making their financial decisions was significant. We need to remove fear, anxiety, doubt and worry from making decisions. This episode will provide a road map to experience peace in our financial decisions. Our God wants us to have peace that passes all understanding. His peace will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

Every Christian must have a desire to receive the true riches of heaven we read about in the word of God. I believe we can experience some of these true riches as we live a Godly life and seek wisdom from the Lord. True riches may have nothing to do with our finances on Earth, but is it possible that the way we handle our finances could impact the true riches of heaven our God desires for us? We must be faithful today and our God will be faithful to give us his true riches in heaven and on Ear...

Often, I have spoken on the topic of why spiritual prosperity must always come before financial prosperity. As a pastor for over 20 years, I have seen Christians receive financial success and then turn away from attending church and reading God's Word. God's Word has a wonderful scripture helping us understand the significance of spiritual prosperity prior to financial growth. We find it in Matthew Chapter 6, verse 33 (NLT) “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else and live righteously and he wi...

Giving is far more than money. Some of the gifts our God has for us is eternal life, peace, joy, happiness, abundant living and the fruit of the spirit. When we decide to give of our finances to the work of the Lord, we can expect to receive all of these gifts. We will never be able to outgive our God. The blessings for giving are limitless. Our God created us in order to bless us.

Anytime we give something, we will receive something back. Our God set the standard for giving when He gave His son to provide the gift of eternal life for every believer. God is our source of every good gift. God loves a cheerful giver and we can never out give Him. The word of God shows us how important it is to give from what we have.
