Message summary & scripture references
Does God desire for you to have lots of money? Why are non-Christians rich? Is financial prosperity meant for every Christian or just some? How long does it take to become prosperous? I address these questions and more in today’s Daily Word, which is part of my Belief series, where I discuss my beliefs about various spiritual and life concepts based on my understanding of Scripture. The concept I am sharing my beliefs on today is financial prosperity.
Genesis 3:17-19 KJV
[17] And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
[18] Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
[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.

[6] Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.
