A WORD FOR YOUR DAY! [PASTOR CHRIS ]

Prosperity Means More... ...As poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things (2 Corinthians 6:10). Prosperity isn�t the multiplication of your finances or other material things; prosperity is an ability. The reason most people often equate prosperity with material things is that material possessions are often the most common indication of prosperity. You can be in prison and be a prosperous man.
You can be working for someone and be the reason your employer is prospering or even be more prosperous than your employers. Jacob made Laban to prosper while he worked for him. Laban, acknowledged this much when he said, "... for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake" (Genesis 30:27). Joseph also made Potiphar to prosper: "And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the Lord blessed the Egyptian�s house for Joseph�s sake; and the blessing of the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field" (Genesis 39:5). So, prosperity is not just the multiplicity of your material possessions, but the ability to glorify God in all and any situation and help others fulfil God�s purpose for their lives. This ability, working in the lives of Jacob and Joseph, was what made all the difference such that, even though they operated from the humble position of servants, they made their masters rich. It follows, therefore, that if their masters became rich in terms of material possessions, because of them, then, certainly, they had something in them that could make anyone rich-the ability of God. This ability working in them is prosperity and it�s unquestionably greater than material things. The Apostle Paul alludes to this supernatural ability to make others rich when he said, "...as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things" (2 Corinthians 6:10). This ability to make others rich is the Spirit of dominion at work in a man�s life. If you have this Spirit working in you, there�re no riches in this world that can compare to what you have, for the world and all of its riches are under your feetNo wonder, 1John 4:4 says "Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." What this means is that you�re greater than the world, therefore live to please God, and fulfil His perfect will for your life; that indeed is the meaning of prosperity.
