Walking in Prosperity

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly  shall reap also sparingly;  and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.  Every man according as he pur­ poseth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity,  for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always  having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to ever good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness

Your Heavenly Account

Lay not up for yourselves  treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves  treasures in heaven,  where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if

thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of dark­ ness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! (Matthew 6:19-23).

The Established Covenant and the Established Heart

God has established  His covenant in the earth. Everything He does is deter mined by this covenant. Jesus of Nazareth was born into this world, died on the cross, went to hell, paid the sin price, and was raised from the dead because  of the

covenant God made with man. God does not show partiality by choosing certain people  to save or to heal; His blessings  are for all the people  who meet the conditions of the covenant (see

1 Peter 2:24).

The Laws of Prosperity

 As we begin this study of prosperity and how it functions according to the Word of God, let’s read the basic scriptures on which our whole study is founded. Let me mention here that we are putting the Word of God first and foremost throughout this study, not what we think it says, but what it actually says! When we see it in the Word, believe  it, and begin to act on it, faith is created. “Faith cometh by hearing, and  hearing by the word  of God”  (Romans 10:17).

The True Test of Your Gospel

The True Test of Your Gospel

Each person’s belief in the gospel is influenced and shaped by their exposure to it and by the extent to which their mind has been renewed, but unfortunately also by the earthly traditions they still hold on to.

…making the Word of God of no effect through your tradition which you have delivered. (Mar 7:13 NKJV)

Paul the apostle, who wrote most of the New Testament, preached a gospel that was revealed to him directly from God.

When Did the Old Testament End?

When Did the Old Testament End?

The Bible speaks numerous times about believers being heirs of God, or about them having an inheritance.

And if we are children, then we are heirs; heirs of God and joint-heirs with Christ; so that if we suffer with Him, we may also be glorified together. (Rom 8:17 NKJV)

…giving thanks to the Father, who has made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. (Col 1:12 NKJV)

Now it logically follows that in order for us to become heirs of God, He had to have a testament that specified that we would inherit from Him. The Bible has two Testaments, namely the Old and New Testament. Both the Hebrew and Greek words used for “testament” in the Bible can also be translated to mean “covenant”. Whenever the context had to do with relationship, it was translated as “covenant”. Whenever the context was about inheritance, it was translated as “testament”:

The Law Arouses Sin

The Law Arouses Sin

If a married man were to go on a business trip to a different country and one night after work, while he was sitting in a pub sipping a drink, he was approached by a very attractive woman with “cruel intentions”, what would be this man’s motive for staying true to his wife? The ring on his finger? The piece of paper that he signed on his wedding day? No! These external things will never keep a person from committing adultery. The strongest motivation for the husband to remain true to his wife would be if he loved her.

Did Jesus End the Law or Not?

Matt 5:17-18 - Did Jesus End the Law or Not?

Many people who still believe they have to live according to the Old Covenant Laws hav e thrown Matthew

5:17-18 at preachers of the grace message to try and prove their case. But what does the Bible really say about living under the law and whether we are still bound to it?

“Do not think that I came to destroy the law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till Heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. (Matt 5:17-18 NKJV)

Peter Ditzel from Word of His Grace1 explains these two verses as follows:
