I used to find it confusing when people talk of money and the religion in the same breath. There are a lot of scriptures that talk about spiritual matters; and many wear poverty as a badge of piousness that should be admired. Does that make having money a bad thing? Do you either have money on earth or your soul in heaven?

Its a good thing that as we progressed in knowledge; the light of true biblical prosperity was also revealed. The good news is we dont have to be poor to earn Gods favor. Quite the opposite, God wants to pour out abundance and prosperity in our lives.

So where do we find what God says about money and possessions? The scriptures clearly outline several principles on biblical prosperity that will help us find out. First of all, there is no doubting that God wants to see us prosperous (Genesis 12:1-3; Psalm 35:27; John 10:10). Once upon a time, God called a man named Abraham to follow Him, promising to bless him abundantly. And God did. More than that, God gave Abraham a miracle in his old age– a beloved son. Can you see this? God will not only cause you to succeed in life, He is more than willing to give you your most cherished desire as well.

You will always find tithing as a foundational principle in attracting wealth. Today we may call it different things but the fact remains: you give and more will be given to you. God has no need for our money and possessions. Tithing is a sign of our trust and obedience to Him. Give God 10% of your money and watch the storehouses of heaven pour out such blessings you will not have room enough for it (Malachi 10:10; Leviticus 27:30).

Prosperity is then a return of your investment in God (Luke 6:38; Deuteronomy 28; Matthew 6:33). Your tithes and offerings, your obedience to His law, partaking in His work here on earth– these are all seeds planted on fertile ground. It is all accounted for and a bountiful harvest is coming your way. You do not give in order to be ‘paid back’. No, you can afford to give because you know God is abundantly generous to give you more than what you asked for.

Before God can bless you with prosperity you need to ask yourself honestly, can God trust you with it? You need to be a faithful steward even with the little you have (mark 10:17; Luke 12:48; 1 Timothy 6:17) so that when your breakthrough comes your heart is prepared. Enjoy the comfort things and material possessions can give you, but do not let it take first place in your life. It’s not bad to have money, but do not make building your fortune your life. You cannot serve both God and money so serve God and make money serve you.

Finally, God empowers us to create wealth (Deuteronomy 8:18; 2 Corinthians 8; Philippians 4:14-18). He wants to bless us so that we ourselves can be a blessing to other. As we allow ourselves to be used by God, expect grace and favor to abound supernaturally in your life.

Abundance and prosperity should never be utilized for self gain and pride. That is not what it’s for. Take pleasure in the work of your hands and the fruits of your labor; however never forget that it cannot replace relationships with God and your fellow man. True wealth is about being healthy, being generous and being happy in God. Be all that you can be and money will find its way to you.

Let me tell you a truth that changed many lives for the better-abundance and prosperity is God’s desire for you. I’m not talking about barely getting by; I mean extravagant blessings overflowing in your life. Where did I get this information? A very reliable source called the Bible. You might ask, is there a special prosperity prayer that come with it? I’m sure you want your prosperity today.

Wait, before you start reciting every prayer you have ever heard,you need to know that its not so much what you say but why and how you say it. God is not after your words or any offering you might give–He wants your heart. He is eager to see you blessed so there is no need to beg for meager resources to get you by. See the whole world as this overflowing abundance of gifts designed with you in mind. Knowing God’s goodness will allow you to trust in His providence for your life.

Now you have abundance and prosperity deposited in your account; how can you withdraw from it? By praying according to His promises as stated in the Bible. Agree with His Word and speak prosperity over your life. There is nothing more effective in bringing about change than divine creative word given full reign in somebody’s life. Acknowledge your position as a rightful heir to these promises and watch the power of your prosperity prayer begin to manifest. You can use this prayer as a guide:

Father God, I honor You for who You are to me. You are a holy and mighty God, (Luke 1:49) Nothing is impossible for you. (Jeremiah 32:27) All things on earth you have given for man to enjoy, (Psalm 115:16; Jeremiah 27:5) You want only the best for me. (Matthew 7:11; Luke 11:13) It is Your desire to prosper me (Proverbs 28:35) All because You love me. (Jeremiah 31:3; John 1:17; Romans 8:31)

So here I stand claiming your promises; You are God and You cannot lie. (Titus 1:2) You make a way when no way is visible to us, (Joshua 2:10) And you empower me to produce wealth, (Deuteronomy 8:18) Beyond anything I could ever imagine. (Ephesians 3:20)

Your Word is Power itself, (Hebrews 1:3) The world was formed through It; (Hebrews 11:3) And I speak it out to change my situation. Thank You Lord, Amen.

Remember, do not feed the negative energy that will come against you in whatever form it chooses to take. When you feel frustrated and impatient that you don’t see anything happening in your life; think of things that you are grateful for and start being thankful for all that you have, even with the smallest blessing. You will find peace of mind and increased favor in all the areas of your life.

This prosperity prayer can be prayed wherever and whenever you can. Keep in mind that it is not a password that when recited often enough will get riches to drop down on your lap. This prayer is to stir you up for the prosperity about to come in your life because they surely will. Feel free to add scriptural verses that speak to you personally”it is your message to God. Now rest. God is moving mightily to bring you and your family the blessings that will exceed even your imagination.
