Your Greatest Blessing Ever Is at Hand
by Kenneth Copeland
Christians may differ on a lot of things, but most all of us agree on this: If we know what God's will is for any area of our lives, we should do it. That's such an obvious truth, I think it could draw a hearty amen from a whole multitude of believers—including me. :: I learned years ago that the secret to success (which is not a secret at all but is plainly stated in the Bible) is saying to God every day, "I am Yours to command, Sir. Your will and Your plan be done in my life today."
I also learned years ago that when it comes to embracing God's will, there's one area where a lot of really sincere Christians have trouble. Even though they love The LORD, they find it difficult to say, "Heavenly Father, it's Your will for me to prosper, so I'm going to do it!"
For some reason, that statement always thins out the crowd. Believers who are all gung-ho about God's will being done in other parts of their lives suddenly start hemming and hawing when the issue of money comes up.
"Well, I don't really need to prosper," they say. "After all, my little family and I don't require much to get along."
I never have figured out the logic behind such statements. What does the family budget have to do with it? If it's God's will for us to have financial prosperity, who are we to tell God we don't need it?
"Now, Brother Copeland," you might say, "I think you put that a little too strongly. It's not really the absolute will of God for every believer to prosper, is it?"
Yes, it actually is. The Bible says that "Jesus...though he was rich, for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich" (2 Corinthians 8:9). Look again at the last word in that scripture. What is it? It's rich. R-I-C-H...rich!
Quote: The economy might be bad on earth but heaven's economy is doing just fine; and that's where your financial supply comes form.
