After studying the bible you'll notice that our Christian patriarchs and matriarchs didn't seek wealth rather they desired to please and honor the LORD by obeying the directions that He gave them for walking out their lives while on earth. This commitment to Him caused them to prosper in the calling He placed on their lives. They were provided with more than enough to carry out the duties necessary to fulfill their callings (which ranged from prophet to priest to king to intercessor to businessman / woman, tent maker, other work in the marketplace) including caring for their families and the people of God.
You're assured of God prospering you when your number one priority is seeking Him in praise, worship, and prayer. These disciplines will cause His will to become your plans and desires. Through them He’ll confirm that you should live by biblical principles such as:
• Working in the marketplace to provide for yourself and family.
• Tithing and offering to church ministry in His honor in order to help propel the gospel throughout the world and help those in need.
• Keeping a budget to ensure that your monthly spending is consistently far less than your monthly income.
• Taking action to totally eliminate your debts so you can live debt-free.
• Saving a portion of your income in seven or eight different investment vehicles with a greater emphasis on higher yielding equity ownership.
• Drawing up an estate plan to provide for your loved ones and the church after you die.
These are principles that wealth is built on and that you must take focused and incremental steps to achieve first in prayer, praise, worship, and then in action through relationships with accountability partners that seek to live by the same pattern and whose interaction will help encourage you to continue employing them in order to reach the promised land that the LORD has prepared for you.
Please pray for this ministry and email any questions. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!
