I'll never forget the time
Gloria discovered that scripture. We didn't have any money at the time,
and the walls in our house were as bare as they could be. But she was
ready to decorate. So she took that promise, "Wealth and riches shall be
in his house" and laid claim to it by faith.
Suddenly, everywhere we went, someone was giving us a painting or some other little treasure for our house.
Unfortunately,
most believers aren't as quick to believe God for that kind of thing as
Gloria was. Some even claim God doesn't promise us New Testament
believers physical prosperity, just spiritual. But the truth is, you
can't separate the two. That's why Jesus says, "If you'll seek first the
kingdom of God and His righteousness, then all these [material] things
will be added to you." He knows the spiritual realm and the material
realm are connected.
The physical world cannot operate
independently from the spiritual world. What happens in one is simply a
reflection of what happens in the other.
Obviously, your spiritual
standing profoundly affects your financial standing. That's why, when
you get hold of the gospel and begin to prosper spiritually, you can
begin to prosper physically and materially as well.
Don't let
anyone talk you out of God's promises of prosperity. You don't have to
choose between financial and spiritual prosperity. Both belong to you.
Lay claim to them by faith. As a born-again child of God, dare to reach
out and receive the riches that belong to you!
