PRINCIPLES OF PROSPERITY.

SCRIPTURE: But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day. Deut. 8:18
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If your relationship with God is out of order, your resources on earth cannot be guaranteed.
Nobody makes people to prosper like God. Everybody who worked with God came out unusually wealthy, from Abraham to Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Solomon, King David, Daniel and Esther. However, the wealth of God is founded on the principles of God. In the world, anybody can make money anyhow but in God, prosperity is established on principles. It is your root in God that determines your fruit on earth.
What is the first condition for godly wealth?
Looking at the life of Joseph, it is closeness with God. The Bible says, 'But the Lord was with Joseph' (Gen. 39:21). To be close to God is to be close to good; to be far from God is to be far from good. Psalm 84:11 says, 'For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly.'
Distance from God is distance from abundance. If your relationship with God is out of order, your resources on earth cannot be guaranteed. In the book of Luke chapter 5, Peter toiled all night and caught nothing, but the moment Jesus stepped into his ship, he caught multitude of fishes until his net 'brake'(Luke 5:6). When God steps in, you must step up. Relationship with God is the end of hardship on earth. Any pursuit of money and business that drives a man away from God is driving him away from good. Such people may get some money but that money didn't come from God and because it didn't come from God, its future cannot be guaranteed.
Remember this: if your relationship with God is out of order, your resources on earth cannot be guaranteed.
