I don’t mind telling you, the house we live in now is a testimony to the goodness of God. But we could have never built it on borrowed money. We would have had to cut back. Make it smaller. Downgrade some things. But because over the years we’ve learned to believe God and follow His plan, I was able to build exactly the house I desired and put in it everything I wanted. God’s Prosperity Plan Works God’s resources are unlimited, and He has a plan to make every one of His children wealthy. He has a plan for us that will put us on top financially and not on the bottom. God can get anything to us if we will lay claim by faith to the promises in His Word and do what He says. Remember what He did for the Israelites when He brought them out of Egypt? He made them rich. Although they’d been slaves for years, before their exodus He put much of Egypt’s wealth into their hands and “brought them forth…with silver and gold” (Psalm 105:37). He didn’t just decide to do that on the spur of the moment, either. He told Abraham centuries before it happened: "Thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years…and afterward shall they come out with great substance" (Genesis 15:13–14). Think of it: Before the Israelites ever became slaves, God already had a plan that would take them from poverty to riches. He already had a plan to bring them out of financial bondage and make them wealthy. He has a plan to do the same for you! “But Gloria, how could God possibly make me rich?” I don’t know. I just know that by His power and His Anointing He can do it. Read about the widow in 2 Kings 4 sometime and you’ll see what I mean. She was so broke and in debt that her sons were about to be sold into slavery. The only thing she had left in her house was one jar of oil. So God put her in the oil business! He told her to gather up all the empty containers she could, then He supernaturally multiplied the oil until they were all filled. She sold the oil, paid off all her debts, and wound up with plenty of money left over to live on. God is still doing those kinds of things today. One minister we know saw Him do it for a widow who attended his church. He was pastoring in Riga, Latvia, at the time, and economic conditions there were dire. Goods were so scarce that if a lightbulb went out, it might take months to find one to replace it. Yet God had instructed him to build a church building debt free. The widow wanted to help so she’d given him a check for $150,000. “This check is not good right now,” she said, “but I will call you when I have the money. Then you can cash it.” The minister knew that in the natural there was no way that woman would ever have that much money. But he sensed her sincerity and put the check in a drawer. Sometime later, at the very moment he needed it for his building project, she called him. “You can cash that check now,” she said. How had she gotten the money? One day a stranger had knocked on her door and told her he was a lawyer for a certain big oil company. He’d said a man who owned a lot of stock in the company had died and she was his nearest relative. She didn’t even know the man. She’d never heard of that oil company. Yet suddenly she owned part of it. She’d received an inheritance that made her rich! Can God do that kind of thing for you? Sure He can! He can do it for any of His children and He desires to. Wouldn’t you, if you were God? If you’d made this marvelous earth and all its resources for your children, wouldn’t you want to give it to them? Wouldn’t you want to transfer it out of the hands of those who are doing evil with it and put it in the hands of your beloved family so that they could use it to do good? Certainly you would. So give your heavenly Father the opportunity to do that for you. Keep putting Him first. Keep obeying His Word and dare to believe He meant it when He said, “To the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good” (Ecclesiastes 2:26). Dare to believe He truly is, as He said in Deuteronomy 8:18, “the LORD thy God…that giveth thee power to get wealth.” V POINTS TO GET YOU THERE: 1) Jesus is coming soon, and before He does, God intends for His people to walk in the fulfillment of all His promises. (2 Cor. 1:20) 2) One of the things God promised us is financial abundance. (Prov. 10:22) 3) Everything on earth belongs to God. (Ps. 24:1) 4) God’s end-time plans include transferring the wealth of the world into the hands of the righteous. (Prov. 13:22) 5) God can do for you what He did for the Israelites when He delivered them from slavery in Egypt. (Ps. 105:37) ************************************* ************************************* ********* ADVERTISEMENT ********* Sept BVOV Broadcast Calendar Featuring: Kenneth Copeland, Dr. Melvin Barney Aug. 29-Sept. 2 "Say His Name and Release His Power" Kenneth Copeland and Dr. Melvin Barney Sun., Sept. 4 "The Life of Faith Is Strong in The LORD" Kenneth Copeland Sept. 5-9 "The Simplicity of Faith" Kenneth Copeland Sun., Sept. 11 "Grief Has No Place in Your Life" Kenneth Copeland Sept. 12-16 "A Prosperous Mind" Kenneth Copeland Sun., Sept. 18 "You Were Created To Live in God’s Love" Kenneth Copeland Sept. 19-23 "A Book of Covenants" Kenneth Copeland Sun., Sept. 25 "The Healer Lives in You Now" Kenneth Copeland Sept. 26-30 "Attend to God’s WORD To Receive Your Healing" Kenneth Copeland * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Broadcasts subject to change without notice * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * WATCH ON VICTORY CHANNEL® Daily broadcast: Mon.-Fri. 3 a.m.; 7 a.m.; 11 a.m.; 7:30 p.m.; 10:30 p.m. Weekly broadcast: Sun. 6 a.m.; 8 p.m. also Mon. 4:30 p.m.; Sat. 7:30 a.m.; 8:30 p.m. ET WATCH THE SPANISH BROADCAST Enlace or es.kcm.org ****************************** 30 : BVOV
