Introduction
ОглавлениеMy greatest desire is for you to know God and to love and serve Him with all of your heart. Understanding the truth about God’s plan concerning every area of your life such as ministry, career, family, community, and even your finances, is very important. Yes, God has a plan for your money and He wants to reveal it to you. I am making this clear from the get-go – I am not all about money nor do I want you to be. Over the years, speaking on the topic of prosperity, specifically money, has gotten a bad reputation in the Church. While we should not put money above God, we need to understand this – God wants us to prosper and to excel in all that we do. Wealth and riches are part of God’s plan for His Church, and if you do not agree with me, keep reading and you will have that same revelation.
First, I want you to know this:
The purpose of this book is to set you up to prosper the way God intended!
There is a path that God has lined up for you to follow and you must walk in that path in order to experience the abundance that He has for you.
Second, before we dive in, I want you to understand the definition of prosperity. According to Merriam Webster’s dictionary, prosperity is “the condition of being successful or thriving.” To prosper means to be successful in an activity; to flourish. It is to arrive at the level where you are growing abundantly and excelling in what God has designated for you to do.
God does not only want you to prosper financially; God wants you to prosper spiritually, martially, mentally, and physically. He wants you to prosper in your ministry, in your relationships, and in your heart and mind; He wants you to be full of peace and joy. If you are married or desire marriage in the future, God wants you to prosper as a wife or husband. If you are or will be a parent, God wants you to prosper in your parenting and build a strong family. He wants you to thrive in your career and business, in your education and learning, and in everything that matters to you – from the smallest to the biggest area in your life. While the principles in this book can lead you to prosperity in all areas of your life, the primary focus of this book is financial prosperity. Why?
God instructed me to write this book to prepare you for the wealth He wants to release unto you. God has told me and showed me many times that He has great wealth stored up for His people and He is ready to release it, but many are not prepared to receive this great wealth.
As you walk through this book, you will learn Wealth’s Greatest Secret and have a plan to build a prosperous future for you, your children, and future generations. I believe that the Holy Spirit is with you and that He will speak to you through this book. You will learn to shed the wrong mindset and take on the correct view of wealth and your finances. Ready? Let’s get started!
