3 Keys For Discovering Your Prosperity

3 Keys For Discovering Your Prosperity - Joshua mills

1. Consult God’s Wisdom
The Word of God is the wisdom of God. “Wisdom is
supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all
you have, get understanding” (Proverbs 4:7). The
spiritual principles and insight of God’s Word will
work for you if you will allow it to transform your
attitude and outlook. Never make any important
decisions, relocations, or major investments without
first consulting the Holy Spirit. He is the Spirit of
Wisdom, Knowledge, and Revelation (Colossians 2:2-
3). If you follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in your
personal and business matters, you will begin
discovering the abundant blessings that overtake the
Obedient. “He who gets wisdom loves his own soul;
he who cherishes understanding prospers”

(Proverbs
19:8). God’s wisdom brings clarity, creates peace, and
produces good fruit. Wisdom will guide you to places
of treasure that no one else has yet uncovered. “But
the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all
pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full
of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.”
(James 3:17)

2. Make Wise Investments
Everything God has ever given to you has been
deposited as a seed into your life. “For God is the one
who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to
eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase
your resources and then produce a great harvest of
generosity in you” (2 Corinthians 9:10, NLT). Your
time is a seed. Your talents and abilities are a seed.
Your love and compassion toward others is a seed.
Your testimony is a seed. Your finances are a seed.
What will you do with these seeds? A seed is created
to be invested, not to be ingested. The potential of the
seed will never be known until it has been planted
into the fertile soil of opportunity. It’s very important
to realize that the potential for harvest in your life is
continually surrounding you. You must discern your
seeds and discern your soil. What people, places,
ideas, or moments has God given to you as fertile soil
for your seeds?
When I was twenty-one years old, a mentor told me
something I will never forget. He said, “Never stay
where you’re tolerated; find the place where you’re
celebrated.” Do not sow your seeds into hard ground.
Do not invest into thorny places or ungrateful people
because it will choke your seed and cause your
dreams to die quickly. Find the soil that’s ready to
receive your precious seeds and make your
investments wisely. Also, do not sow into only one
field. The Bible instructs you to scatter your seed, so
spread it out and receive a return from many
sources. You never know which one may prosper
most. “Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening
let not your hands be idle, for you do not know
which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether
both will do equally well.” (Ecclesiastes 11:6)

3. Receive Your Returns
Every investment will bring a return. This is a
spiritual principle. “Don’t be misled—you cannot
mock the justice of God. You will always harvest
what you plant” (Galatians 6:7, NLT). If you invest
poorly, you will receive a return of sorrows. But if
you invest wisely, you will receive a return of
prosperity. Do not ignore your returns. Learn from
your mistakes and focus on your victories!
When you’ve consulted God’s wisdom for instruction
and you’ve been led by the Spirit to invest properly,
do not “feel guilty” about receiving the good benefits
of your wise investments. Luke 6:38 tells us that
there are seven supernatural levels for receiving (I
have an entire teaching on this in my profound book
Positioned For Prosperity). Just as you have learned
how to be a generous investor, you must also learn
how to be a generous receiver.
A few years ago the Lord showed me that after a
person has broken through a poverty spirit in the
area of their giving, often this poverty spirit tries to
defeat them in their ability to receive. A religious
spirit will make you feel bad about receiving nice
gifts or generous amounts of blessing. The Bible tells
us that the sole reason why God blesses His people is
not to make them greedy, but He blesses them in
order to enable them to be a blessing for others! You
can only give away what you possess. This is why
God wants to bless you with good things while you’re
here on the earth.
You have an assignment to the poor and the hurting
(James 1:27). You are chosen of the Lord to proclaim
the salvation of God and to release freedom for the
captives (Isaiah 61:1-3). You must break through in
your ability to receive! Recognize the harvest.
Discern your blessings. Receive them and utilize
them as another investment for the flow of unlimited
miracles!
