Find Your Place to Prosper
Today at 12:21pm
Did you know it is God's (Yahweh's) intention that His people prosper. Yes, that word "prosper" also means financially as well as all other areas of our lives. We prosper by obeying and following His ways and precepts for Spiritual, Physical, Mental, and financial wealth, health, and well being.
It is not a sin to be "rich". Truly, I believe, it is more of an issue to be poor and in continued lack. Jesus said we would always have the poor with us. But, that does not mean that they would or should remain poor.
People are in lack financially because of a lack in knowledge. People perish for lack of knowledge.
It is God's gift to prosper. "Be fruitful and multiply"! The Biblical word "blessing" means "prosperity".
Today, Yahweh is speaking to His people about prospering in all areas of their lives including the abundance of financial wealth. Open your ears to hear which path He will put in front of you to attain your prosperity. He said, "If you will listen diligently to His voice, and obey, you would be blessed, or prosperous".
I am on my path, and it is prospering. However, my path may not be your path and visa versa.

Been a while since I made a post to this blog. Just doing other things at other places. Yahweh is awesome and continues to work on maturing His Church to do the work and complete the mission of gathering. It is currently a day for reaching out. In my case, it is to reach out to those who have not yet been baptized in the Holy Ghost. Sorry folks, but being saved and being born again are not the same. Scripture is very clear on that regardless of many of the denominational doctrines floating around the church world. If you have questions about this subject, email or post me and I will explain the Biblical understanding the this much needed blessing from God.

(John 15:13 KJV) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Life is all about giving. Giving of your own self. The giving away of self, for the benefit of another. This is what life is about and is what creates rewards in heaven. Family was designed for that very purpose. To show the true meaning of life. A husband and father gives of himself, and the wife and mother gives of herself. Each for the benefit of the family. What can I do for you, versus what can I get from you.

The Strait Gate
(Mat 7:13 KJV) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
(Mat 7:14 KJV) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

"Strait" comes from Greek "stenos": narrow (from obstacles standing close about)
"narrow" means: to crowd (fig: afflict, throng, suffer tribulation, trouble)

Luke says it this way:
(Luke 13:24 KJV) Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.

"strive" means to struggle (compete for a prize); to contend with an adversary; to endeavor to accomplish something; fight, labor fervently

The Christian walk is a narrow walk, a narrow way. It is not easy. We are to maneuver around any and every obstacle that would cause us to stumble, or impede our walk in any fashion. We are encompassed about with many worldly temptations. We must avoid them. Fighting the good fight means I will not become entangled with the things of the world that are anti-Christ.
The broad way is the "anything goes" way. All things are acceptable because Jesus will forgive me of it. This mindset allows any and all worldly lust and temptation fertile ground, and will soon take root and widen the narrow path.
I leave you with this question!

HOW WIDE HAS YOUR PATH BECOME?

(Mat 7:13 KJV) Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:(Mat 7:14 KJV) Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Whether we like it or not, Christianity is an effort. We have do's and don'ts. Some of us have never even begun to enter the narrow gate because of all it's restrictions. We prefer the broad because it is easier and allows us to dabble a little in the world and with worldly things. I've always had this question, "Why did not Lot leave Sodom if it so vexed his soul?" The answer is clear to me...He and his wife enjoyed it there. Lot raised a worldly family not a Kingdom family. Proof of this is his two daughters incestuous acts with their father. A God minded person would not have thought of such a thing, or at least would not have committed it.
So, that brings me to this question. How wide have you allowed your gate to open?
