Life Of Prosperity by Joagbaje(m): 10:49am On Nov 03, 2012
Psalm 35:27
...Let the Lord be magnified, which hath pleasure in theprosperity of his servant


Job 36:11 declares of God’s children: "...They shall live their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures."

God has called you to a life of prosperity. You’re not meant to struggle or labour to live a prosperous life; it’s your birthright. If you’d serve the Lord diligently and delight yourself in Him, you’ll live your days in prosperity and your years in pleasures. This is the heritage of every child of God. Not only is prosperity God’s desire for you, it’s been given to you freely as the seed of Abraham. Abraham, the Bible says, was blessed in all things, and so are you

, Galatians 3:29 ,
"And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise."

You didn’t have to struggle for this blessing; it was bequeathed to you as an inheritance, being an heir of God, and a joint heir with Christ (Romans 8:17). It’s important to realize that prosperity is more than having money. Being rich, wealthy, or affluent is just an aspect of prosperity. Prosperity is all- encompassing; it means to be safe, well and sound; to fare well in life, and to live happily in health, peace, riches and favour! It also means to have an excellent life, and experience wholeness in every aspect of your life being successful in all you do:

"3 John Vs. 2
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth" ().


The words of the psalmist in Psalm 1:1-3 further describes the beautiful life of prosperity the Lord has given you:

"…And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."

Romans 8:32
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Re: Life Of Prosperity by nuclearboy(m): 1:28pm On Nov 03, 2012
Moses (Friend of God) - Prince who became Shepherd! Struggled till he died!

Joshua (slave in Egypt) - Bible doesn't tell us he enjoyed. He was always at war which is a struggle

Elijah (Prophet) - hunted for years - a man who lived in animal skins and for whom things were so difficult that an Angel had to find food for him!

Abednego, shadrach etc - thrown in fire! Where was their "prosperity"?

John the Baptist (called the greatest man by Christ) - his head served like ice-cream! Prosperity indeed!

Simon Peter (Fisherman) crucified upside down! "Silver & Gold, I have not"

Paul the Apostle - life of prosperity as a tent-maker who worked to feed himself even while founding Christianity amongst the heathen? ?? "Riches in Glory, not in banks"

Okay, David who fought most of his life and all he got, he FOUGHT (struggled) for!!

Christ Himself! ?? ?? No comment

___________________________________

Todays "pastor" - 100 Million dollars, 2 scandals every week, fake miracles AND a theology that his life is meant to be just about "prosperity" even if his sheep are starving

So I ask, what "god" is this that's different from the One those followed? Mammon? Lucre? The Belly?

John 7:12
And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people
.

Satan hasn't changed his color. Jesus had his scandal with false witnesses. It's part of the price. It's a honor .

2 Timothy 3:12
Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

God bless u, people are struggling because they have refused to access the free gifts of God.
Re: Life Of Prosperity by Nobody: 2:16pm On Nov 03, 2012
There is nothing wrong with gaining wealth from hard work.

The problem is gaining wealth by stealth of the tithe fraud , acquiring mansions, cars and starting businesses with money meant for the work of GOD , fleeced from the sheeple that attend these 'churches'.

Better to struggle and make two ends meet than to be a 'crook who lives in prosperity , derived from the blood and sweat of the poor.

Shame on You , I have earned my money through hardword , Monday to Friday , 9 - 5 and sometimes even weekends.

That some charlatans who preach the gospel should dare live in opulence and grandeur for disseminating the word of GOD is nothing short of FRAUD and Thievery.

Here's Paul's advice for you :

"For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." - 2 Thessalonians 3:10

" Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you," - 1 Thessalonians 4:11

Paul and the apostles never believed that you should live on the tithe or offerings, they accepted donations, but this was the exception and not the rule.

Many of these so called MOG cannot even kiss the feet of Paul , yet they think they know better .

Jesus christ, our High Priest was a carpenters son but did he continue as a carpenter.
Jesus went about healing the sick and preaching the word of God alone. Yet he ate the best, rode on the choicest of mules, wore the best linen. How did he get all this mate, people gave them to him and his disciples to propagate the gospel
Re: Life Of Prosperity by Nobody: 2:58pm On Nov 03, 2012

Frosbel, dont mind the tithe thieves. Just look at Joagbaje preaching that you dont have to struggle for blessing just to buttress his MOG's easy life of receivong tithes.

And you forgot to add that Jesus had no home of is own.........

Jesus trekked if you didn't know......Jesus moved from place to place performing miracles on impromptu basis....he didn't settle under a magnificent building waiting for the poor and down trodden to come meet him....

And Jesus didn't ride on chariots just as the rich did back then....

Tell me you don't know that if the MOG's we have today existed in the times of Jesus they wouldn't have owned chariots and used roman soldiers as escorts......

That's what folks don't know. Living by your sweat is a curse.

Genesis 3:19
In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.


Hebrews 4:10-11
Those who entered his place of rest also rested from their work as God did from his. 11 So we must make every effort to enter that place of rest. Then no one will be lost by following the example of those who refused to obey.

Pastor Anita

fraud stars are at it again o!

Christians are to look for God's kingdom and not a promise land like the Jews did.

"After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. " (Matthew 6:9-10).

They are using the blessing of the past promise land to preach in a world that is passing away:

"Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever." (1 John 2:15-17).

This is fraudulent.
Prosperity is not the christian goal according to christ:

"Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seeksmiley for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. " (Matthew 6:30-32).

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. " (Matthew 6:33).

And 3John below is about prospering in the truth of God's word.

"3 John Vs. 2
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth" ().


note the full passage
below :

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." (3 John 1:2-4).

Hmmm!
Wanders shall never end, even here in this forum they are at it

What exactly is the message here? The Christian should be loaded. Okay, what next? You have not told them how to achieve it. They should go back to bed abi? The money will fall from heaven abi?

Obviously you are one of several mis led christians for you not to know that tithing has no place in christianity and most especial the man made version of money from income being preached by charlatans today. I challenge you to quote one single scripture that instructs christians to tithe of their income without twisting or adding to the scripture.
