FINANCIAL PROSPERITY

Memory verse: And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you power

to get wealth that he may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this

day. Deut 8:18.

Introduction: God wants us to prosper financially and do well in life, even more than we

want to! Many Christian have never entered into the dimension of prosperity that God intended

for them, and one reason they haven't is a lack of understanding in this area. You’ve got to do the

perfect will of God and this requires honoring and obeying God and acting on His Word. These

has to do with the way we think, talk, and act in line with God's Word concerning prosperity.

Success in God doesn't come overnight. And if you're not prospering in life right now,

your prosperity in God won't appear overnight either. But if you'll continually honor and obey

God and His Word, it will come.
