Now is the time to make a stand and "let's roll"! I just added a new chapter on stewardship. It deals with wealth and prosperity. See Chapter 11 in "Overcomers".
Prosperity is where each of us needs to KNOW and BELIEVE in our success and wealth. Home person to person marketing is the only way for me, at age 72, to earn a living and to prosper. How about you? Besides I'm into refirement. What's your commitment level?
As you have seen network marketing is the way to "Get 'er done". I'm sure you can do it! Let's talk about prosperity as a goal.
The first thing I realized about prosperity is its okay! Gaining wealth and prosperity is progress and the more, the better, right? We must never worship money for the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
But why is that true? Just be ready for some big time giving! Oh, and I might add, sacrifice! Having said that, it is not your goal to get rich, but it is the process to do so that counts. God wants you to be a giver for your benefit, not His... He owns it all anyway!
Richness covers all aspects of life. all areas of living and not just financial wealth and prosperity.
In the first place, whatever you give is His, not yours. Your goal in this process is to be a great receiver and a big giver! Besides you can't out-give God. It will come back to you, as seed planted us later harvest. Harvest time is a good time.
Confused? Please don't be! This gets better...
How about prosperity to say $10,000 as a minimum per month? Is that enough to give you a desired life style. What about becoming a millionaire? To believe that giving away your wealth and prosperity is to know the only reason to receive it in the first place.
Donald Trump, the billionaire real estate mogul, once said, "money is only a barometer to judge my progress." I guess that's his understanding. Frankly, it's just hogwash. He had a rich Dad that gave him the playing field. Well, Donald, that may be all well and good for you, but in my book (the Bible) the promise is to receive blessings, wealth, prosperity, period...And not from my Dad. Then give as much as you can away, by not lavishing it on yourself!
Because you can't out give God. Basically we all need to get over ourselves and know what really is first in life! We need to seek first the kingdom of God and all things will be added unto you.
Why are blessings, wealth and prosperity so promised in scripture? To measure Gods' love for us? No! We need to know that He loved us first, period! Is it to make us happy? No! The joy I have from His presence in my life takes care of that. What then? Why are Christians so taken by wealth and prosperity when some other religions think it's evil?
I think I answered that already! But if it's still not clear read Overcomers. Just touch to get your FREE copy. Fill-in the form at the top..
And as you read, remember that "riches" covers all aspects of life. Blessings will lead to success, prosperity and abundance. Abundance comes when you know who provides it, and that's that!
Money can be one of the things that we harvest after planting good positive seed, a basic principle of the Kingdom of God. And lusting after money is a no, no, because your priorities are out of order according to Kingdom living. Read the Overcomers eBook and you will have it cleared up.
Oh, and Mr Trump, don't forget how hard you worked and how courageous you are, because that's the good part. The bad part may be where your future might be?
You have to position yourself so you can expect your miricle. It's interesting how the very wealthy formed foundations to funnel their wealth to improve humanity: Carnigy, Mellon, Ford, Rockafella, and Bill Gates to name the well known with extreme wealth. Some 10 years ago the Gates Foundation was formed with 20 million dollars to help public schools with PC's. You and I can do that... It's okay to dream big! We must have a vision. Write down your vision.
It's all good ( Rom 8:28). Such foundations have grown ever since they were formed. If huge givers do this to avoid taxes, fine, but the bottom line is they help others. So get started now! I just can't do it without the God of the Bible. But in network marketing the blessings are for others and blessings should be our goal.
So wealth and prosperity is born out of the need to give! You can't out give God. God is love and love is giving. It's that's simple.
Blessings and creating is part of our very essence! Blessings and creating manifest propagation, growth, progress, fulfillment and joy. Be positive and give of yourself. We are created in His image and he is the God of creation. So let's all start blessing and creating through a huge team, because our God is the God of Creation. Creation is the joy of living.
Love is being a 100% giver, and He will give you the desires of your heart when you pay it forward. A rich and full life can be the process. Who can you help today?
There is an island which is part of Ecuador that goes by the name of Puna. At one time this island was inhabited by aboriginal people but now it is inhabited by children who go around with no shoes on their feet and with their legs caked with mud. Not surprisingly, the area is inflicted with many flies which carry diseases and consequently many of these young people die young. It is sad to say that the children living on this lovely island were all too heavily involved in alcohol and drug use and they knew nothing about the God who loves them and cares for them. Our local director has said that keeping families together in this climate was very difficult and many families struggled with being united and loyal to each other. Pastor David had a vision to see this community transformed! As he received Bible League training, he was overwhelmed with compassion for the people. Just as the Lord promises in His Word, Pastor David longed to see light in the midst of darkness. Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man.(Psalm 112:4 NIV) Because Gods Word was foreign to the people of Puna, the pastors task was challenging. Although not immediate, soon people were strengthened by the Word of God! adds our director. Pastor Davids vision became a reality. He planted the seed of Gods Word in the lives of the natives in every town on the island. He continues training them, even today, to work together in service to Christ. And so real joy is now coming to this little community as children and adults and families together study God's Word. Men and women who at one time were without hope are discovering God's purpose for their lives and their marriage, and they are creating real loyalty and unity in their homes Has the sowing of God's Word resulted in anything happening? Yes indeed it has, as four churches have now been planted and a further six are in the pipeline, and Jesus Christ is being made known throughout the island
