Why Does God Want Us To Prosper?
• “Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually. Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant” (Psalm 35:27).
• This scripture tells us that the Lord takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant. The prosperity referred to here is not just financial, but rather a state of wholeness, completeness, and well-being in every area of life.
• The Hebrew word used for prosperity in Psalm 35:27 is SHALOM, which translates into English as “peace.” This means that the Lord desires peace and well-being for His servants.
• To fully understand prosperity, we must recognize that it is not limited to financial wealth, but extends to all areas of life, including health, relationships, and personal growth.
• Ultimately, God prospers us for a purpose. His desire is to release power, anointing, and ability as we walk in prosperity and fulfill the purposes of our lives.
