Prosperity with a purpose.
“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”
1 Timothy 5:8
One of the reasons God prospers you is for your needs to be met and for you to be able to take good care of your family. As God prospers you, He expects you to care for your family and those in your house. Proverbs 13:22 says, “A good man leaveth an inheritance to his children's children …”
God also prospers you so that you can help the poor. Therefore whatever you give to the kingdom or to the poor goes into your future.1 Timothy 6:17-19(CEV) says, “Warn the rich people of this world not to be proud or to trust in wealth that is easily lost. Tell them to have faith in God, who is rich and blesses us with everything we need to enjoy life. Instruct them to do as many good deeds as they can and to help everyone. Remind the rich to be generous and share what they have. This will lay a solid foundation for the future, so that they will know what true life is like.”
2 Corinthians 9:8-9(AMP) says, “And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]. As it is written, He [the benevolent person] scatters abroad; He gives to the poor; His deeds of justice and goodness and kindness and benevolence will go on and endure forever!”
Confession.
Dear Father, I declare according to your Word in 2 Corinthians 9:8 that you will cause all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) to come to me in abundance, so that I may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation]. Amen.
