GODS PLAN FOR PROSPERITY

Introduction:

All through the Bible God promises to bless and prosper those who trust and serve Him. In order to receive Gods financial and material blessings, we must learn to follow Gods rule of faith, which says : “Give and it shall be given unto to you” (Luke 6:38). We begin by giving back to God first tenth of all that we receive, in money and produce. This first tenth, set aside for God, is called our “tithe”.

Over and above this “tithe”, we bring our “offerings” to God, as the Holy Spirit directs us. As we do this in faith, God abundantly blesses us and supplies all our needs.
