(Psalms 2:8) “Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance.” Real Prosperity is the SOULS OF MEN. THE MOST PRECIOUS JEWEL OF CREATION IS A SOUL. (Malachi 3:17) “And they shall be MINE, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up MY Jewels”. Meaning the most precious Jewel has nothing to do with Gold, Rubies, Safire, or any of these types of Jewels. You can replace rubies or diamonds, BUT ONE CAN NEVER REPLACE A SOUL. THERE IS NO PRICE TAG ON A SOUL. We all have loved ones that have died and there is no amount of money that can replace them. I miss my mother more than anything she went on to be with JESUS years ago. Such a Great Mother and Woman of GOD.
(Isaiah 53:12) “HE hath poured out HIS soul unto death:” In this scripture we see a deep Love where JESUS poured out HIS soul unto death, poured it out as water, so little account did HE make of it, when the laying of it down was the appointed means of our redemption and salvation. HE loved not HIS life unto death. HE felt we were worth dying for. HE knew the value of a soul and no amount of money could purchase it. HE did purchase it HIMSELF. HE would be the only one that could have something valuable enough to purchase the Souls of men. (Acts 20:28) states, “which HE purchased with his OWN BLOOD.” YES, “GOD’S” OWN “BLOOD”.
(II Corinthians 4:7) “But We have this Treasure in Earthen vessel,”. Important documents were stored inside of these vessels of clay in that age. They would put their deeds or receipt of purchase of something inside of the vessels of clay. Where the important documents would not get wet, the weather and elements would not be able to destroy the documents.
The Emphasis is on the contrast between a Frail Vessel of Earth and the Priceless Treasure of the Power that Dwells in us.
REAL Prosperity = Is the Treasure that is Within You which is “JESUS”. (Luke 17:21) “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the Kingdom of GOD is within You.” Spiritual not carnal or natural.
Revelation 12:9 “Satan DECEIVETH THE WHOLE WORLD.” So many are Preaching the Treasure is Prosperity and Things, but “JESUS” is the Real Treasure and Prosperity. (Matthew 24:4, 5, & 24) let no “MAN DECEIVE YOU”
(Galatians 3:14-16) “That the Blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through JESUS CHRIST; that we might receive the promise of the SPIRIT through faith.” Now we must see and understand the REAL BLESSINGS of Abraham was to Abraham and to his SEED. SEED is singular and his SEED was JESUS CHRIST. HE is the Blessing that was promised, not all the Material things. When we get the SEED which is JESUS, this SEED supplies all our needs. (Phil. 4:19) “But My GOD shall supply all Your “NEED” according To HIS riches in glory by CHRIST JESUS.” Now we see the word Need is Singular. But what do we really need? It’s JESUS CHRIST.
When we have JESUS, we have everything we need. We have salvation, healing, deliverance, and real prosperity, which is now not just natural but Spiritual as well. So, JESUS is the REAL PROSPERITY through HIM everything is supplied. Here we must understand that Prosperity is not just money and riches but JESUS. Satan has simply had ministers to focus the people’s attention on the riches and not on JESUS. When REAL PROSPERITY is having JESUS. Through HIM we have access to the natural things, as well as the spiritual things of GOD.
Over 20,000 Deaths in Turkey and Syria where the Earthquake devastated that region. There is a Prosperity where JESUS can keep us, where (Psalms 91:7) “a Thousand will fall at thy side, and ten thousand at our right hand; but it will not come nigh thee.” My point is what good is millions of dollars when you are buried beneath the Earth by an earthquake? JESUS wants us to have real prosperity where HE can keep us in times of Earthquakes, Tsunamis, Tornadoes, Floods and War when the Bombs and Radiation are falling. When DEADLY DISEASES are spreading REAL PROSPERITY keeps you alive because JESUS IS REAL PROSPERITY not money or material things, they cannot save us in time of trouble.
Steve Jobs the Apple Computer Guru said on his death bed while watching the lights on the life support machine, that he had pursued money when he had enough money many years ago. But now the money could not save him he told people to pursue something else, to enjoy family. He had realized all the Billions of dollars and all the awards he spent his life achieving could not buy him any more time. (Mark 8:36) “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul? 37. Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”
JESUS IS REAL PROSPERITY:
(III John 2), “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
The Revelation and key here are as “THY SOUL PROSPERETH”! When Material things out run our Spirituality, we are in for a wreck. A very important concept to understand is JESUS controls the balance here regarding us prospering AS OUR SOUL PROSPERS. HE governs this according to this scripture “AS THY SOUL PROSPERS”. When material things and success out run our soul prospering, we are in for spiritual disaster. I have seen this far too many times. I have seen so many things that it was a Blessing from GOD, but they ended up losing their marriage and family, so many backslid as this was the trap to get them away from GOD. Some have lost their Ministry and Church all for what they thought was GOD blessing them. Satan which DECEIVETH the Whole world. (Rev. 12:9). Some have even lost their lives and burning in hell all for what they thought was GOD Blessing them with prosperity. Satan plays for keeps he comes to steal, kill and to destroy. (John 10:10): He has lured far too many with fools’ gold, artificial prosperity. (Matthew 16:26, Mark 8:36) What do it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? I would rather have JESUS.
(Matthew 24:4 & 5) “And JESUS answered and said unto them, take heed that no Man Deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying I am CHRIST; and shall deceive many.” (Matthew 24:24) “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Realize that JESUS does not take you from HIM and your Dedication to increase your prosperity!
(Proverbs 10:22) “The Blessings of the LORD maketh rich and HE addeth no sorrow with it.”
(Deuteronomy 8:18) “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy GOD: for it is HE that giveth thee Power to get WEALTH, that HE may establish HIS covenant which HE sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” POWER = is the Ability or Strength to accomplish an action, Wealth = is abundance of Possessions or Resources. The Scripture is explaining to us that GOD gives us the Wisdom and Ability to obtain Abundance Possessions and Resources.
The SPIRIT of GOD is anointing us to obtain wealth. GOD is our source. Meaning if you took a bucket and placed it under the faucet and turned the faucet on full force the bucket would fill up and run over. If you emptied the bucket it would continue to fill back up and run over because of the water supply coming from the faucet. Now GOD is our source HE is causing “Good Measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom.” According to (Luke 6:38). Now let’s step into Deep water since GOD is our source when there are no resources from man to give to us GOD produces the resources. HE sent the Angel to feed Elijah! HE rained down manna from heaven, man did eat angel’s food, HE sent the quail, HE filled the meal barrel and oil cruise for the widow woman. HE made a RIVER in the desert.
HE is a GOD that knows how to bless us Supernaturally far above anything we can ask or think. (Ephesians 3:20) “Now unto HIM that is able to do EXCEEDING, ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, according to the power that worketh in us.” Real Prosperity is having JESUS, and the most precious JEWELS are the souls of men. GOD is blessing us so that we can win SOULS. Not so we can just have big homes and cars and material things but so we can get the Gospel to the world. So that we can reach souls and help souls as we must remember its more BLESSED to GIVE than to receive. The scripture says in (Luke 6:38) “GIVE and It shall be GIVEN unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, shall men GIVE into your bosom, for with what measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Real Prosperity is GIVING JESUS to a dying and lost world; and reaching the souls of men. Yes, JESUS will Bless us, but we must always remember the Words of the LORD JESUS in (Acts 20:35) “It’s MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE!”
