There has been a lot of teaching about prosperity over the years.  I have met people that have said to me, "I don't like those prosperity preachers."  If traditional religion has taught you that God wants you poor and oppressed, I have good news for you today. The Bible says, "God takes pleasure" in your prosperity. God wants you to prosper!

Please note I am not just talking about money.  But in every area of your life...spirit, soul and body.

God loves you and He has a job for you to do. He wants you to help meet the needs of mankind and He's smart enough to know that you can't give away what you don't have. You can't give to spread the gospel or buy food for the hungry when you're broke. You can't go out laying hands on the sick when you're lying in a hospital bed. You can't minister joy to others when you're being held captive by depression. No! You have to be blessed to be a blessing.

If you really want to tap into the riches of God today, make up your mind to be a blessing to others, and before you know it, you'll be receiving more from God than you ever dreamed.  Lay down your time and your money and your love for those who need it. Become a giver—and God will take pleasure in prospering you!
