Principles of Prosperity
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,the world, and all who live in it.” Psalm 24:1-2.
Remember the truth that God owns it all?
Sovereign!
When we have a firm grasp of this concept and apply it to our thinking and handling of money, we will have mastered the first principle of prosperity.
If we realize that everything we see in our world is His, then we will begin to realize that we literally own nothing; we are merely stewards handling the wealth of our Master.
Stewards!
As money managers, we must understand that we do not have the right to dictate how it is to be spent or invested; only God does.
He is still in control, and He wants to have the final word in the matter.
The second principle of prosperity is that God wants His resources used in a way that glorifies Him.
Submission!
Not only does He own it all and have the right to tell us how to manage it, but He also expects us to obey.
Our obedience in money matters brings Him glory.
The Lord wants us to keep this in mind as we put His resources into circulation to accomplish His work, to meet basic needs, and to provide enjoyment.
Ask God two questions:
How much do You want to be designated for Your work?
What proportion should go to meet my basic needs and the needs of others?
When we accept that God owns it all, that we are His money managers and our resources are to be used to glorify Him, then we will be satisfied with His choices for how to use the money we have.
How satisfied are you?
