• And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19, "AMPC"). “But Brother Copeland, you don’t know my situation. I live in an impoverished community. All the businesses have boarded up and moved out. I don’t even think God could get anything to me here.” Sure He can! His economic principles will work anywhere, anytime. All He needs from you is faith and obedience. He can and will do the rest. I’ve seen Him prove it time and again in places such as Shonto, Ariz. That used to be one of the poorest areas around! A seemingly forsaken stretch of desert, when Pastor Kenneth Begeishi started preaching the gospel in Shonto, the people there didn’t have much of anything and Pastor Begeishi didn’t either. He just painted the words White Post Church on a shingle, nailed it to a post and stuck it in the ground. Then, he went from hogan to hogan telling the Navajo people about Jesus and winning souls. By the time Jerry and I came to preach at White Post Church a few years later, the members had begun learning about faith. They’d learned about living to be a BLESSING, giving and believing God to prosper. Initially, they didn’t have any money, but they’d pick up pebbles off the ground, polish them and put them in the offering on Sunday. Or they’d wash and iron a treasured velvet shirt and make it their gift to Jesus. Before long, industry moved into the area and jobs became available. Companies began to hire employees and the White Post Church members got the best positions because they’d been taught how to serve and meet the needs of people. In a place where prosperity looked all but unachievable, they began to prosper. Eventually that place became White Post Church, Arizona! Why? Because they’d learned how to do business God’s way! V POINTS TO GET YOU THERE: 1) Business isn’t “secular.” God created Adam to be a farmer, not a preacher. (Gen. 2:15) 2) As the number of people on the earth grew, they could do different things and help one another. (Eph. 4:28) 3) God gave Abraham the job of being a BLESSING to all men. (Gen. 12:2-3) 4) God says if you seek Him first, you will prosper not only spiritually but financially. (Matt. 6:33, "AMPC") 5) God’s economic principles will work anywhere, anytime; all He needs is your faith and obedience. (Phil. 4:19, "AMPC") _____________________________________ _____________________________________ ******** ADVERTISEMENTS ********** God delights in prospering His people!

We have a desire to pursue supernatural power, and to find the path that leads to the greatest ministry impact on others. We have a desire to grow and mature in our faith and God’s grace. But as good as all these desires are, nothing is more important than desiring growth in our character. When we grow and mature in our character, all those other areas fall into place. I’ve heard it said that our character will determine how high we’ll go. I’ve seen that firsthand. I’ve had the opportunity to sit and speak to musicians and professional athletes who seem to have massive success…and yet they find themselves wondering, Why does it seem like I’m stuck? or Why does it seem like I can’t go any further than where I am right now? 9 : BVOV
