Last week my pastor asked me to teach the Wednesday night service at our church while he
enjoyed himself at Bike Week in Florida.  I’ve learned not to panic anymore when he asks,
but it can certainly be a little intimidating to get up in front of people to teach.  I’ve gotten
much more comfortable with it over the years though. So I decided to talk about what I know
best, which is biblical wealth and prosperity.

Of course I don’t claim to be a world renowned expert on the subject, but I do have many
years of experience teaching what the bible has to say about it.

If you like, you can scroll down to the middle of this post and watch the video of my
teaching.

Wealth and Prosperity- A Touchy Subject

Talking about wealth and prosperity in the church is one of those subjects that tend to get
used and abused on a regular basis.
On one hand there are some who teach that if you just believe hard enough, you can have all
the wealth and prosperity you could ever want.  Of course, belief and faith are one part of the
equation, but there’s a lot more to it than that.

On the other hand some preachers try to convince you that being wealthy, successful, and
prosperous are something to be avoided- that the poorer you are, the more humble you are
and the closer to God you become.

Does God Want You to Be Wealthy?

But where does the truth lie when you’re talking about prosperity and wealth in the Bible?
How does it relate to your spiritual walk and your relationship with God?

Does God even want us to be wealthy and prosperous, or are we better off spiritually if we
stay away from it?

As it turns out, the Bible has a lot to say about wealth and prosperity. It actually puts forth
several key things you can do to achieve the righteous wealth and prosperity that God
actually does want us to have.

In fact, if we follow the prescription we find in the scriptures, He has no choice but to give us
a level of prosperity that fulfills our every need, plus guarantees an excess that we can use to
bless others with.

The Definition of Prosperity

Before I delved into what the Bible had to say about it, the first thing I decided to do is to
look up the definition of prosperity.  So I looked up the Webster’s definition along with
several versions found in Greek and Hebrew.  Here are some of the characteristics of
prosperity that I found:

 Plenty

 To be over and above, to abound

 Advance or gain in anything good or desirable

 Deliverance, salvation

 Peace

 More than enough

 Successful progress in business or enterprise

  Completeness, soundness

 Good fortune

As you can see, prosperity is not all about money.  Prosperity consists of so much more than
that.  It’s a comprehensive, all-encompassing variety of good things for your life, finances
included!

6 Keys to Guarantee Biblical Wealth and Prosperity- A

touchy subject for some people…
 

Here’s What I Found in the Bible

In my study, I found 6 key things you can do to make sure that God opens up the windows of
heaven for you and provide you with a blessed life that most people could only dream about.

Therefore, as I list each one I’ll have a few scriptures to back it up.  This is a fairly long and
comprehensive study on the subject, but I know you’ll appreciate the revelations you receive
as you get into it!

6 Keys to Prosperity and Wealth in Every Part of Your

Life
There are 6 key things I found that you can do to bring godly wealth and prosperity into your
life.  I’m sure there are others that I could include, but these seem to be the ones that crop up
over and over in the scriptures.  Here’s the list:

 Diligence

 Seek God in Everything

 Seek Righteousness

 Keep His Commandments (Walk in His Ways)

 Honor God With Your Wealth

 Develop Your Faith (Trust) in God

So let’s get started…

 
DILIGENCE

One of the first things I discovered that you must do to get God’s blessings upon you is to
practice DILIGENCE.

Now, when the Bible refers to diligence in these scriptures, it’s referring to consistency and
hard work.  The definition of diligence I found on Google reads “careful and persistent
effort”

DEUTERONOMY 28:1-2

“Now it shall come to pass, if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God, to
observe carefully all His commandments which I command you today, that the LORD your
God will set you high above all nations of the earth. And all these blessings shall come upon
you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the LORD your God.”

Key Phrases:

 Diligently obey

 Observe carefully

 Overtake you

Listen to what God has to say- in His word as well as in direct communication with Him
(prayer).  Be diligent to observe His commandments and He will set you above others that
don’t.  Do these things and His blessings will overtake you because you are diligently
obedient.

PROVERBS 10:3-4

“…the LORD does not allow the righteous go hungry, But He thwarts the craving of the
wicked. A slack hand causes poverty, But the hand of the diligent makes rich.”

Key Phrases:

 The righteous won’t go hungry

 Be diligent in pursuing God and Godly things, and He will reward you

 Lack of diligence causes you to come to poverty

When you’re being diligent to pursue righteousness God will see to it that you are fed. 
Diligence makes one rich (prosperous in every way).  However, lack of diligence will cause
you to come to poverty (lack of prosperity).

PROVERBS 13:4

“The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made
rich.”

 Desire without work will never allow you to have anything

 Diligence makes you rich (prosperous)

Wishing will get you nowhere, but hard work and consistent effort will always benefit you
and your situation.  God sees your diligence and rewards you for it instead of simply granting
empty wishes to someone not willing to do the work necessary.

SEEK GOD IN EVERYTHING

Seeking God in everything goes along with diligence, in that seeking God should be a
constant in your life if you want God to consistently bless you and your situation.

 
2 CHRONICLES 31:20-21

“Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and faithful
before the Lord his God.  And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God,
in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he
prospered.”

Key Phrases:

 Did what was good

 All his heart

Hezekiah sought God, did what was good, and served Him with all his heart.  When you are a
seeker God in every situation and you’re faithful, God will cause you to prosper in the same
way.

PSALM 1:1-3

“Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly; nor standeth in the way of
sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in
his law doth he meditate day and night. 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.”
Key Phrases: 

 Delight in the law of the Lord

Standing as a sinner, being scornful, and taking the advice of ungodly people are all things
that keep you from accessing God’s blessings.  But when you set your heart and mind on
godly things you are constantly nourished, always fruitful, and whatever you do prospers
because you have that Godly blessing upon you.

You will be constantly fed.  You'll be fruitful in due season.  You will not wither when things
get tough (in a dry season).  You will prosper in everything you do when you consistently
seek godly things.

Does the Bible teach wealth or poverty for believers? Here's

what I found…
 

SEEK RIGHTEOUSNESS
Righteousness simply means being in right standing with God.

PSALM 37:25-26

“I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, or his seed
begging bread. He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed”

Key Phrase-

 not seen the righteous forsaken

Righteousness is a state of moral uprightness that can only be achieved through belief in
Jesus and God’s plan of salvation.  Being righteous doesn’t mean you’re perfect, but it does
mean you follow God’s ways and believe in salvation.  You are always seeking God’s ways
and living them out in your own life.

When you practice righteousness:

 God will never forsake you

 You won’t be in poverty, your children won’t have to beg to meet their needs

 You'll have the ability to be merciful to people

  You will be lender, not a borrower

 Your seed will be blessed- meaning it will multiply and flourish, meeting all your
needs to the point of excess

PROVERBS 8:18-21

“Riches and honor are with me: yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better
than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. I lead in the way of
righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment; That I may cause those that love me to
inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.”

Key Phrase:

 Durable riches and righteousness

Walking in God’s path for your life brings riches and honor.  This means riches in
everything, not just material wealth.  He leads you into righteousness, and when you follow
His lead you will have durable riches as well.

 Durable Riches- Wealth that is gotten in righteous ways is lasting wealth, and will be
an inheritance to your children’s children

Keep His Commandments (Walk in His Ways)

Keeping God’s commandments (walking in His ways) is a very important part of leading a
good Christian life, but does it result in wealth and abundance?

PSALM 23:1

The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.

So when you allow yourself to be led by the Lord, you will never lack for anything.

1 KINGS 2:3

David’s Instructions to Solomon as He Was Dying

“And keep the charge of the LORD your God, walking in His ways and keeping his statutes,
his commandments, His rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses, that
you may prosper in all that you do, and wherever you turn…”

Key Phrases:

 Walking in His ways

 Thou may prosper in all that you do

When you do Godly things and follow Godly ways you will prosper in everything and
whichever way you turn.  David gave these instructions to Solomon (who followed them) and
ended up being known as the wisest and wealthiest man who ever lived!

PSALM 84:11-12

“For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing
will he withhold from them that walk uprightly…”

Key Phrase:

 sun and shield

Walking uprightly in the way of the Lord allows God to light your way (sun) and protect you
(shield).  It allows Him to extend you grace when you need it, and allows Him to bring ALL
good things your way.

LEVITICUS 26:3-5

“If you walk in my statutes and keep my commandments, and perform them, then I will give
you rain in its season, the land shall yield its produce, and the trees of the field shall yield
their fruit. Your threshing shall last till the time of vintage, and the vintage shall last till the
time of sowing; you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.”

Key Phrases:

 walk in my statutes

 yield fruit

Walk in my statutes, keep my commandments- I’ll provide the rain that produces growth and
abundance for what you have planted.  You’ll have abundance from one harvest that will
continue to the next harvest.  You will have more than enough.

 
 

Honor God With Your Wealth

God is a Giver.  We are made in God’s image, so we are made to be givers too.  God knows
we function at our best when we give of what we have, and he rewards us for it.

Proverbs 10:22

“The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it.”

Key Phrases- Blessing of the Lord

Of course, God is a giver of blessings.  How do you get the blessings of the Lord upon you?
By following His ways, being diligent, seeking Him, seeking righteousness, etc., He has to
bless you.  He has no other choice- His blessings make you wealthy in every aspect- He gives
it to you freely and joyfully without condemnation.

PROVERBS 3:9-10

“Honor thy Lord with your wealth, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy
barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”

Key Phrases:  Honor the Lord

There are many ways to honor the Lord (worship, good works, upright living…) but this one
specifically says to do it with your substance (your wealth).  Giving the first fruits (tithe) is
part of this, but also using your wealth in righteous ways (family, charity, etc.) is also
included.  Doing these things not only allows you to have enough, you’ll have an excess.

DEUTERONOMY 8:17-18

“then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this
wealth.’ And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to
get wealth…”

Key Phrases:

 My power

 He gives you power

Remember that all wealth comes from God.  He gives you the power to generate wealth, be it
a little or a lot.  Recognizing that wealth is gained through His power and not yours allows
you to stay humble.
This recognition opens up the doors for Him to bless your hard work.  Leaving God out of the
equation limits the blessing you get from all your hard work.  He can’t multiply it unless you
believe that ultimately it all comes from Him.

PROVERBS 11:25

“Whoever brings blessing will be made rich, And he who waters will also be watered
himself.”

Another form of giving is just being a blessing to others, which opens up God’s ability to see
to it that you are blessed in return.

Malachi 3:10-12

“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me
now in this,” Says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And
pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it. And I will
rebuke the devourer for your sakes, So that he will not destroy the fruit of your ground, Nor
shall the vine fail to bear fruit for you in the field, Says the LORD of hosts. And all nations
will call you blessed For you will be a delightful land, Says the LORD of hosts.”

Key Phrases

 Bring the tithe into the storehouse (Give to the church)

What Tithing Does:

 opens up the windows of Heaven

 Rebukes the devourer (instead of living paycheck to paycheck, you’ll have enough)

 Won’t destroy what you have (fruit) or your harvest that is on the way (vine)

 Others will call you blessed

2 CORINTHIANS 9:6-7

“But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully
will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or
of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.”

Key Phrases:
  Sow

 Reap

 cheerful giver

Giving is like spreading seed– if you only spread a few seeds, you get only a few plants and a
small harvest.  Sowing very little means you reap very little (you’ll just barely get by).  A
sparse harvest will cause you to consume all your seed instead of putting some back for more
sowing.

On the other hand, spreading more seed gets you a bigger harvest, producing an excess that
allows you to sow even more, gaining an even larger harvest.

Be cheerful when you give.  Negativity about giving actually cancels out your blessing. 
Always sow happily in anticipation of a great harvest.

Can you really guarantee biblical wealth and prosperity in

your life? Yep, here's how…
 

Develop Your Faith (Trust) in God

Trusting God to do what His word says He will do is extremely important to gaining godly
prosperity and wealth.  If you can’t trust God to live up to His word, then why do you believe
in the first place?

JAMES 1:5-7

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and up-
braideth not: and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, not wavering. For he that
wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think
he shall receive any thing of the Lord.”

Key Phrases:

 Gives to all men liberally

 he that wavers

Ask of Him, and He will give to you liberally.  You must ask in faith and not waver.  Being
unsure about God’s promises will not allow you to receive His liberal gifts to you.
 

MATTHEW 6:31-33

“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 seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom
of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Key Phrases:

 Take no thought

 seek first

Don’t sit around worrying about food, clothing, or basic needs.  Have faith, and trust that God
knows what you need and that He will provide it when you seek Him first.

PSALM 37:3-5,11

“Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.
Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy
way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.”

Key Phrases: 

 Trust in the Lord

 Delight in the Lord

 commit

Trust means you should have faith that He is on your side and will work on your behalf. 
Complete trust in God is a very difficult thing to do, but when you give it all over to Him,
that’s when He can do His best work for you.

Delight in the Lord- Commune with God often and experience the joy that comes with that
communion.

Commit- Don’t be double minded or wishy washy. Non committed people don’t get very far
at anything in life or with God

So do these things and He will give you the desires of your heart. He will bring it to pass.

 
TAKEAWAYS: 6 Keys to Ensure Prosperity and Wealth
 Diligence- Careful and persistent effort- consistent hard work- The key to all the
other keys below is to be diligent in doing them

 Seek God in Everything- Always seek to please God and delight in His ways. 
Seeking His guidance and will in your life allows Him to guide you and bless you.

 Seek Righteousness- Always seek to live an upright life and you’ll be blessed because
of it.

 Keep His Commandments (Walk in His Ways)-  Know what God’s ways of doing
things are, and when you live by those ways you’ll be greatly blessed.

 Honor God With Your Wealth- Be a tither, and give offerings over and above the
tithe.  We are made in the image of God to be givers, and when we do it opens up
windows for God to do huge things in our lives!

 Have Faith and Trust in God-  Giving every concern over to God is a hard thing to
do, but when you do it allows Him to act on your behalf better than you could ever do
for yourself.  Trust that what His word says will come to pass when you do the right
things.

The 6 Keys to Wealth and Prosperity

I’m sure there are plenty of other things you can do to ensure God’s blessings and prosperity
upon your life.  But I think these are 6 of the most important keys to godly prosperity and
wealth, especially since you can find them repeatedly in scripture throughout both the New
and Old Testaments.

Of course, these are spiritual laws that the more you follow them, the more you’ll find that
you’re blessed in every area of your life, including monetary wealth.

God Can’t Do it Without You

The most important thing you have to understand is that God can’t do it without you.  His
nature is to bless you when you’re doing the right things.  When you’re not, His hands are
tied and He can’t bless you like He wants to.

So remember to use these 6 keys if you want open up the windows of heaven and experience
all the wealth and prosperity God promises we can have!
