True Prosperity Depends on How Well You are Connected With God

Any human being who is genuinely connected with God (the creator of all things) would have ultimate peace and true prosperity. God is spirit and we can’t see him! In fact, his invisibility makes many people feel like he doesn’t exist. But he’s there! Right out there! He’s connected with men and women who also play (or played) their own little part in maintaining that strong connection. Through the ages, God has been quite close to a number of people, too many for us to recall from history; but one important thing to take note of is that irrespective of any challenges encountered, irrespective of any attempt(s) that enemies put up against those connected with God, they conquered at the end of the day. Another remarkable quality that people of God have is the genuine feeling of rest, peace, and sense of fulfillment which they get from any other place. Their foundation doesn’t rest on material things: on the material aspect of creation. Anything that has a foundation outside of God is just temporal vanity and would pass away or cease to exist from a particular date in the near future. Whatever anyone has, no matter how little it might appear in the eyes of other people, it would always be sufficient to accomplish every plan that God has called or destined for that particular person to execute in this world.

Everything that God gave everyone at birth, and while they are alive, is a seed which has to be sown, fertilized, continuously catered for, and groomed to maturity. We must prosper if we have the mind-set that with what we were given, we can efficiently accomplish God’s purposes for our lives. Plant your seed and it must produce a bountiful harvest, good or bad. True prosperity and abundance are beyond the acquisition of material possessions; it isn’t defined by the number of cars, industries, houses, lands, assets, women, or property that anyone has; otherwise those who have the largest amount of material possessions in the world, would always be the most happy, joyful and fulfilled people. Unfortunately, most materially successful personalities haven’t been so happy, neither have they felt inwardly fulfilled in their lives.

Read through history and you will observe that a lot of popular people, with an abundance of “earthly possessions,” have had high blood pressures, gone crazy or even committed extreme acts like suicide! Many of them have been dependent on drugs in order to try and control their minds and feelings. These few descriptions show that man cannot depend solely on what he externally possesses if he wants to have real joy and livelihood! Many people who have/had great possessions, were really empty on the inside; if not they wouldn’t resort to empty remedies like drugs and suicide. The treasures of this world all have their expiry dates, and really, not all that glitters is gold. There are many men and women who have been frustrated in life because they measured themselves by the world’s symbols of prosperity. In all your prosperity, or lack of it, let your total dependence be on God, then you’ll have everlasting treasures that no amount of money can buy.
