The Purpose of Prosperity

Prosperity is not just money!

If your pastor believes that it is more holy to be poor and broke, you will find it difficult to break through that doctrine and have purpose-filled prosperity without feeling guilty & un-submitted in that place.

Trust your pastor’s motives and if he/she is helping to keep you accountable to God as 1st priority, don’t fight!

Our words tell off on us.

If we are talking more about business, profit, & opportunities than we are about God and how we are serving His purposes, we might be in a sketchy place in our heart.

Matthew 16:26 NKJV

26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Riches without Character is not a blessing

Riches without a God-purpose is not a blessing

Every dollar should have a destiny & a purpose from God.

The Pastor’s Heart for Prosperity:

I love the heart that John the Beloved communicates as a leader of the Early Church:

3 John 2 NKJV

2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

John 10:10 NKJV

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

Your Pastor should want you to prosper & should shepherd you into great stewardship & the abundant life - That’s what Jesus came for you to have.

When the members of the body increase, the whole body increases

Ephesians 4:16 NKJV

16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

Can/Should Pastors be Wealthy?

Joshua 13:33 NKJV

33 But to the tribe of Levi Moses had given no inheritance; the Lord God of Israel was their inheritance, as He had said to them.

When your 100% increases, your 10% also increases & so the Levites have more to sustain them.
