ReThink Prosparity

Matthew 6:19–34 (ESV)19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. 22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! 24 “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? 28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Prosperity is not measured in what we gain in life, but in life that we gain.

2 Corinthians 4:16–18 (ESV)16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Possessions Will break

Money Will Lose Value

Positions will Change

Jesus Teaches us not to focus on the material gain, but on our spiritual gain.

Your Job Should Be More About The Mission Then The Money.

Hebrews 13:4–5 (ESV)4 Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. 5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Reaching For our purpose will help bring you into your positions

Matthew 6:33 (ESV)33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Our pursuit should be about Gods Promise not our Possessions

Luke 12:15 (ESV)15 And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

How Do We Do This?

Don’t Let your future need keep you from your present path

Philippians 4:19 (ESV)19 And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Learn how to Abolish your Anxiety

Make Faith, Fulfill your life

start looking for God in your everyday, and your faith will grow

reconigizing Gods work around you will help you see it in you

Seeing Gods work in you allows faith to lead you

Hebrews 11:1 (ESV)1 Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
