Once you begin to believe it is
God's will to prosper you, you can't help but wonder how He is going to
do it. Is He going to put a check in the mail? Or start floating $20
bills down from the trees?
No. He's going to do it by prospering
your soul. He's going to plant the seeds of prosperity in your mind,
will and emotions, and as they grow, they'll produce a great financial
harvest.
Go to the book of Genesis and read the story of Joseph. It's a perfect demonstration of what I'm talking about.
When
Joseph was sold as a slave to the Egyptians, he didn't have a dime to
his name. He didn't even have his freedom. He'd been sold as a slave.
But, right in the middle of his slavery, God gave Joseph such wisdom and
ability that he made his owner prosper. As a result, the man put Joseph
in charge of all his possessions.
Later, Joseph was put in prison. There's really not
much opportunity for advancement in prison, is there? But God gave him
insight that no other man in Egypt had. That insight landed him a
position on Pharaoh's staff. Not as a slave but as the most honored man
in the entire country next to Pharaoh himself.
He rode along in a chariot and people literally bowed down before him. During a worldwide famine, Joseph was in charge of all the food. Now that's prosperity!
How
did God accomplish all that? By prospering Joseph's soul. No matter how
dismal his situation became, no matter how impossible his problems, God
was able to reveal the spiritual secrets that would open the door of
success for him.
That's what makes God's method of prospering so
exciting. It works anywhere and everywhere. It will work in the poorest
countries on the face of this earth just like it works here in the
United States. And you can be sure that it will work for you!
