God wants you to prosper.

"By now Abraham was old, and the LORD had blessed him in every way."

Genesis 24:1

Do you know that there are some people who hold erroneous beliefs that you have to be poor if you are close to God. That is a lie of the devil to keep God's people in bondage. Abraham was so close to God that God made reference to him as His friend in Isaiah 41:8, yet he was not poor, but rather, he was blessed in every way.

God is not against riches. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 8:9, "For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich." God wants you as a child of God to be abundantly supplied with all good things. What God does not want is for you to trust in riches. Do not trust in riches. Trust in God, He is the One who makes rich.

In Matthew 6:31-33, the Bible says, "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." God wants you to eat, drink and be well clothed, so do not go after such things. Let the kingdom of God and His righteousness be your priority and every other good thing shall be added unto you.

Therefore, your priority is what determines your prosperity. Divine prosperity is a function of priorities. Today, I encourage you to reorder your priority and make the kingdom of God and his righteousness your obsession.

Prayer

Dear Father, I cast down all my cares and worries because I know that by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ I am rich. Therefore, I am abundantly supplied with all good things in Jesus Name. Amen.
