Leave Foolishness Behind

Satan has had us in a poverty mentality so long that it is tough for us to grasp just how intensely God really does desire to prosper us; even though He has demonstrated that desire again and again.

Take Abraham, for example.  God made him an extremely wealthy man.  Genesis 13:2 says he was rich in cattle, in silver and in gold.

Then, of course, there was Solomon.  The Bible says he surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

God’s servant Job possessed such great wealth that he was called the greatest of all the men of the East.  That was before satan put him through the wringer.  Afterwards, God blessed him with more than double what satan had stolen.

The problem is, just the thought of the kind of wealth God gave to those men scares most believers today.  We are afraid it would destroy us.

God has said that “the prosperity of fools shall destroy them” (Proverbs 1:32).

However, that does not mean you should avoid being prosperous.  It means you should avoid being a fool!

I challenge you, in the weeks to come, to go to the book of Proverbs and find out for yourself what God says about the characteristics of a fool.  Let the Holy Spirit search your heart.  If you see ways in which you have been a fool, repent and make a firm decision not to be caught in that trap again.

“Evil pursues sinners, but the consistently upright and in right standing with God is recompensed with good”.  Proverbs 13:21 (AMPC)

Let the Word of God inspire you to leave foolishness behind and stir within you the faith to reach out and receive what you, as a redeemed child of the living God, have a divine right to; not the curse of poverty, but the blessing of prosperity!

“Father, I come to You in the Name of Jesus.  Thank you Lord that I can step out today in confidence knowing that You just want what is best for me.  I choose to renounce this curse of poverty in my life, and I thank you for Your provision and prosperity over my life.  I ask for the wisdom to steward that which I receive from in a Godly manner that will bless You and give You glory.  Amen.”

Lay hold of God’s Richest Love and Blessings in Christ Jesus.
