Prosperity Pleases God

 Prosperity Pleases God




By Prince Eudes 

PSALM 35:27 NKJ 27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, Who favor my righteous cause; And let them say continually, "Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant."


Do you enjoy seeing your children -- or anyone you love -- suffer lack?


Jesus taught us that God our Heavenly Father's love for us is much better than any earthly parent's love (Matthew 7:11).


What kind of perverted being would God be if He delighted in seeing His people suffer? (The only kind of suffering that pleases God is when we are willing to be inconvenienced so that others will be helped.)


Ultimately, poverty is the result of an operation by the devil attempting to dis-please God. But it will not continue to succeed.


To achieve his plan, the devil has tried to confuse Christians into thinking that being poor pleased God, and that being poor was a sign of spirituality. This is a lie! (But being rich is not a dependable sign of spirituality, either!)


The Bible does warn against trusting in money, serving money, and covetousness, which is not just wanting more. It is really wanting to take what belongs to someone else.


But the Bible does not teach that we should be poor, or that poverty pleases God.


1 TIMOTHY 6:17-18 NET 17 Command those who are rich in this world's goods not to be haughty or to set their hope on riches, which are uncertain, but on God who richly provides us with all things for our enjoyment. 18 Tell them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, to be generous givers, sharing with others.


God has richly provided (through His creation, and through His redemption) all things for our enjoyment.


It is a lie that God wants us to be poor. This scripture tells the rich people in the church to be generous, but it does not say they should give everything away and become poor.


God enjoys our enjoyment of what He provides for us. God wants us to be happy about what He has given us.


God created things for us to enjoy. When we enjoy what God made and show our gratitude and appreciation to Him, God enjoys that.


SAY THIS: God is pleased when His people

 are happy and doing well.

How to Discern "Monitoring" Spirits and Overcome Them as Believers

BY PRINCE EUDES What exactly are Monitoring Spirits? Well, they are spiritual beings that operate in the supernatural realm, with the not-so-friendly task of observing and monitoring the lives of individuals. Their main goal is to gather information, take notes, and report back to the forces of darkness, seeking any vulnerability they can exploit in our lives. It's like they're running some kind of spiritual surveillance mission! Now, you might be wondering if this idea of monitoring spirits is biblical. You bet it is! The Bible sheds light on these malevolent beings in various passages, and it's essential to understand what it says about them to be equipped to deal with their influence. In the book of Job [ Job 1:7 ], we find an intriguing scene where the sons of God come to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also comes among them. The Lord Himself asks Satan if he has considered His faithful servant Job. This implies that there are spiritual beings constantly o...

Do All Things Work Together For Good?

Do All Things Work Together For Good? By Prince Eudes Do All Things Work Together For Good? Many Christians would instantly say "Yes!" And a quick look at Romans 8:28 in many Bible translations seems to confirm their answer. But is that what Romans 8:28 really means? ROMANS 8:28 NASB 28 And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. ROMANS 8:28 NIV 28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love⁶  him, who have been called according to his purpose. While several translations can give us a different view on this (like both of those above), it is not necessary for us to judge translations or learn the meaning of Greek words to realize some basic facts. First, if everything that happened was good for us, then God would never tell us to resist or refrain from anything. (And He does!) Therefore, everything is not God's will for us. Neither can we consider every...

God Rules in Your Circumstances

God Rules in Your Circumstances God's light often shines brightest through us in our darkest moments. November 12, 2023 Philippians 1:12-20 If you could change your present circumstances, would you? Most of us would say yes. Even if we’re experiencing relatively peaceful and comfortable conditions, we can always imagine a better life. And those of us enduring difficult, painful, or trying situations long to see the burden lifted. But as everyone knows, there are some circumstances over which we have no control. We can’t maneuver our way out, so our only option is to go through them. As redeemed children of God, however, it’s important to remember this: We are exactly where God wants us, because His sovereignty rules over all our situations at all times. Let’s look at Paul. He was sitting in a Roman prison, chained to a guard after a fruitful ministry of sharing the gospel. But even though the Lord brought him into difficult circumstances, His work in and through Paul didn’t stop. A...
