Prosperity with a Purpose
I believe God wants to remind His people at this time that He is ‘Jehovah Jireh’, our provider and He is a God of abundance.His desire is never for his people to live in live in poverty. Nowhere in the Bible do we ever read: “God blessed them and they were poor.“ No! It always reads: “God bless them and they prospered.“
While selfish greed and wasteful indulgence are certainly sin, money and wealth are a gift from God to be used for His Kingdom and for His glory here on the Earth. Our God is the God of overflow and more than enough. He wants to meet your needs and give you extra to meet the needs of others. He wants His people to be radically generous that you would be a channel or a conduit of His blessing to others. However, it’s difficult to be generous we are living in constant lack, debt and poverty.
Expect financial breakthrough, believe for provision today, break off any poverty mindset, declare God’s favour over your life, speak God’s Word about blessing over your finances. Give sacrificially, live generously and expect to reap abundantly.

“Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”
