God wants you to prosper and bear much Fruit for His glory: From Daniel Neilson Brown

God wants you to prosper and bear much fruit for His glory!
From: Daniel Neilson Brown




Even though we read about the wealth of Job,

Abraham, David and Solomon, some argue that

Jesus was poor and that poverty is a sacred position.

 

Nonsense! Jesus was NOT poor, but maybe

wealthy in His own right. He only became

poor at the cross when He took our povert upon Himself.

 

He had a job as a carpenter (He probably

owned the company) and was a good steward of

His money. I'm sure He paid His bills on

time, stayed out of debt, did not overspend,

and helped the less fortunate.

 

John 19:23 states that Jesus had a seamless

robe so valuable that the Roman soldiers

gambled for it at the cross!

 

This designer robe that Jesus wore should be

an example for us! God wants us to have nice

things. He just doesn't want nice things to

have us, for He is a jealous God (Exodus 20:5).

 

Even though we should have and enjoy nice

things, some of us are driving around in a

beat-up car with bald tires, living in a

home that's too small, paying on high

interest credit card debt, and consistently

looking at a checkbook with a zero in it...

 

All because we've been ignorant of what

God's Word says about our prosperity.

 

You can be prosperous, and you should be!

It's not only your God-given right, it's an

obligation, for Jesus said in John 15:8, "By

this is my Father glorified that you bear

much fruit and so prove to be my disciples."

 

Some may argue that this Scripture only

refers to winning the lost to Christ. When

we look again at John 10:10, "Jesus came

that we may have life and have it more

abundantly," we have confirmation that he's

interested in our personal increase.

Another Scripture that gives us

clarification on God's will for our increase

is found in 1 Thessalonians 4:10-12.

Paul writes, "We beseech you, brethren, that

you increase more and more; and that you

study to be quiet, to do your own business,

and to work with your own hands as we

commanded you that you may walk honestly

toward them that are without; and that you may have lack of nothing."
