Why would someone get up early on a Monday morning, get on a train packed to the gills with some really smelly people, travel an hour or more, go into an office and do a series of tasks under pressure? The reason is money. We all need money to live and survive in this world. And we all understand that money is normally earned. We go to school to learn and then we go to work.
Most people are making money by hard work, long hours and unpleasant circumstances. And the Bible is clear we should work, that is vital. But there is another way to make money – and it is so important to prosperity, and it is serving the Lord.
Psalm 35.27 says that the Lord has pleasure in the prosperity of HIS SERVANT. As we serve the Lord, the Lord delights in us prospering. The Lord delights in us having stuff. That means God has fun bringing stuff to you and inventing ways to making you rich!
Job 36.11-12 tells us that “if we obey and serve [the LORD], we will spend our days prospering”. When you serve the Lord, you should definitely prosper.
If you are not serving the Lord, not involved in local church, not on a rota, it’s time to start serving. If you are, it’s time to start expecting prosperity.
AMEN!
