Wisdom for prosperity.

“Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom. Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.”
Proverbs 23:4-5

There are people who do not believe in the blessing. All they believe in is hard work. Though it is possible for you to be rich through hard work alone but the wealth that comes from hard work alone without the blessing is not permanent.

There are others who believe in been mischievous and corrupt in other for them to be rich. Such wealth as well will not last. Any prosperity that is not based on God's principles has no guarantee because it has no sure foundations. Proverbs 13:11a (GW) says, “Wealth gained through injustice dwindles away …”

There are men who have amassed riches and money many years ago without the blessing; today we cannot even remember their names. Most of them went totally bankrupt before they died because their prosperity had no foundations. Do not envy those who may seem to be rising today without the blessing upon their lives, their end will be miserable unless they retrace their steps back to God.

If you are a child of God, your focus must be different from the rest of the world. You are not under the same economy with them so you should not operate the same principles with them. You rise by the blessing, so you must remain committed to the spread of the gospel through your material wealth because as you take part in furthering kingdom causes, not only will your prosperity be sustained, your children and their children's children will be great. It also guarantees the promise of an eternal reward for you.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that you grant unto me wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you, in Jesus' Name. Amen.
