Prosperity vs. Discipline

Picking up from our last post on image and likeness, there’s been a prosperity movement in the Church that says God wants everything for us that our flesh wants because Jesus suffered so we don’t have to.  This is wrong and ignorant of many parts of scripture.  It’s a fleshly/worldly way of thinking.  What about […]

Questions for Revelation

How to Be Your Own Banker With Life Insurance

“Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest. 28″ ‘Take the talent from him and give it to the one who has the ten talents. 29For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have […]

Life Insurance

“Misfortune pursues the sinner, but prosperity is the reward of the righteous.

It shouldn’t surprise us to see that God wants us to prosper in every way.  As He does this, we have the ability and means to be helpful in the Kingdom and Family of God. It would be ridiculous to abandon our God-given talents in management or creative skills and let these lay dormant, when […]

How Does God Want to Prosper us Individually?

When God created Man, He created them in His Image and His Likeness.  But this was designed to be a process, just as when you have a baby, he or she is born of you, with your image, and as he/she grows he takes on more and more of your likeness, but is not fully […]

Eternal Riches

Just as Jesus taught spiritual principles using the example of being responsible to multiply our wealth, He also taught us to watch out for spiritual traps  – again using money as an example.   In both cases, these principles apply to money and to other areas of life as well.

Prosperity is a Double-Edged Sword

Yesterday we discussed the fact that being rich or poor wasn’t as an issue in whom Jesus taught – that what matters to Him is the heart of the particular person. Let’s look at His interesting encounter with the rich, young ruler in Mark. 17As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran […]

Jesus’ Teaching About Prosperity

We will start with Jesus’ own teachings, then look more closely at the teachings of the Apostles and draw some conclusions concerning prosperity in the Kingdom of God and in the world. We will not study this topic exhaustively, but will try to get at the essence. In Jesus’  time on earth, He never evaded […]

The Old Testament Explains Prosperity

Yesterday we discussed a prosperity which is attained by wisdom and insight into the secrets of God.  Such prosperity can only be obtained with a pure and devout heart.  Let us look at a Psalm to see how clearly this is taught in the OT. Ps 1:1-3 [NASB95] 1How blessed is the man who does […]
