Be Sweet Spirited

A prosperous spirit is a spirit that is in unbroken fellowship with God, sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit at all times. The prosperity of the mind means that we are emotionally stable and free from hurt and unforgiveness.

It is God's will that we prosper in our bodies, spirit and soul (which is the mind). When we are prosperous in our bodies, we become strong, healthy, full of vigor and vitality, even when aged.

Live a life of obedience and righteousness. As we live righteously before God, obeying His leading and instructions, we find that these blessings become our reality in life.

Righteousness means putting God first in our lives, our homes, our work and in our finances. Yes, in our finances! The essence of God’s blessing is so that we can glorify Him and also be a channel of good to others.

A righteous person is a cheerful giver because giving is the result of walking in obedience to God. You cannot love God and be stingy with your resources. You will be prudent because God hates waste but not stingy.

How can we give when we feel we don’t even have enough for ourselves? You must remember that giving is an action of faith, trusting that God is our source and will supply all our needs

As we give, we must keep our eyes and hearts fixed on God’s promises, not the temporary difficulties around us "And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart" (Galatians 6:9)

Giving and helping others in need is proof of our love for God and that we are true disciples of Christ. Jesus said "By this all will know that you are my disciples if you have love for one another" (John 13:35)

.

I pray that you receive grace to do God’s Word and the blessings of obedience will manifest in your life in Jesus name!

In His Love.
