Read Prepare to Prosper: Moving From the Land of Lack to the Land of Plenty Page 3


  PSALM 112:3

  … but prosperity is the reward of the righteous.

  PROVERBS 13:21 NIV

  … but he who trusts in the Lord will prosper.

  PROVERBS 28:25 NIV

  Saying, Blessing I certainly will bless you and multiplying I will multiply you.

  HEBREWS 6:14

  And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

  HEBREWS 11:6 NIV

  Be sure you plant your seed into good ground. The Bible says in Deuteronomy 26:12–14 we should not give our tithe to the dead. After planting, expect to be blessed and say so. Confess frequently:

  I am blessed, and I am a blessing.

  Everything I lay my hand to prospers and succeeds.

  I am blessed when I come in and blessed when I go out.

  I have favor everywhere I go.

  God is multiplying me.

  I seek first the kingdom of God and He adds all other things that I need.

  I love to give.

  I always have plenty of seed to sow and bread to eat.

  My cup runs over.

  Goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life.

  I always have more than enough.

  By confessing these and other Scriptures you find and by making these personal confessions, you will build an image of prosperity in your spirit. Your spirit wants to work for you, but it can only produce what you put in it.

  When your spirit, mind, and mouth line up in agreement with God, you are undefeatable! As you develop a prosperous image, and keep an expectant attitude toward prosperity, you will begin to reap a harvest in abundance.

  NEVER EAT YOUR SEED! Each harvest produces seed to sow as well as bread to eat. Keep sowing, and you will eventually come to the place where you continually have a new harvest coming in.

  Amos 9:13 says: Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine and all the hills shall melt [that is, everything heretofore barren and unfruitful shall overflow with spiritual blessing].

  I believe we have entered those days. Jesus is coming back soon. He is returning for a glorious Church—not a poor, pathetic, broken-down Church. I have written this book to help you prepare to prosper. I know that prosperity is God’s will for each person.

  Prosperity is not just money, but blessing in every realm. Sow your seed, water it with the Word of God, expect a harvest and prepare to prosper!

  HOW CAN YOU COME INTO NEW LEVELS OF PROSPERITY?

  Many Christians have given their time and money for the sake of the Gospel. Some have given for years without seeing their own personal, social, and financial outlook c
hange. Others who have enjoyed prosperity have even greater levels of blessing in store for them. We know from the Word of God that our heavenly Father desires His children to do well and that when we give, it is given back to us abundantly. Why then do so many Christians still struggle to receive all of God’s promises?

  In this book, Joyce Meyer reveals an important basic principle and shows you how to experience God’s power in your own life. Discover:

  • WHY JOYFUL GIVING ENSURES FUTURE BLESSINGS

  • HOW PLANTING MORE SEEDS LETS YOU MEET MORE NEEDS

  • WHY COMPLAINING AND ENVY STEAL GOD’S BOUNTY

  • HOW CERTAIN SCRIPTURES WILL INCREASE YOUR HARVEST.

  Find out how to nurture the seed you sow—and prepare to prosper!
