Let
those who favor my righteous cause and have pleasure in my uprightness
shout for joy and be glad and say continually, Let the Lord be
magnified, Who takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.
– Psalm 35:27, The Amplified Bible

If traditional religion has
taught you that God wants you poor and oppressed, I have good news for
you today. The Bible says, "God takes pleasure" in your prosperity. God
wants you to prosper!
Not just in the financial realm but in every area of your life...spirit, soul and body.
No matter where you are or who you are, God wants to see you delivered from every adverse situation.
Why?
Because He loves you and He has a job for you to do. He wants you to
help meet the needs of mankind and He's smart enough to know that you
can't give away what you don't have. You can't give to spread the gospel
or buy food for the hungry when you're broke. You can't go out laying
hands on the sick when you're lying in a hospital bed. You can't
minister joy to others when you're being held captive by depression. No!
You have to be blessed to be a blessing.
If you really want to
tap into the riches of God today, make up your mind to be a blessing to
others, and before you know it, you'll be receiving more from God than
you ever dreamed.
That's what happened to me. I decided years ago,
first and foremost, to be a giver. I developed a lifestyle of giving.
Today, I literally "live to give." And I don't mind telling you, God
dumps blessings on me by the truckload!
He'll do the same for you
if you'll become His servant—if you'll lay down your time and your money
and your love for those who need it. Become a giver—and God will take
pleasure in prospering you!
