From society’s point of view, prosperity is only defined as financial success; however, the God-kind of prosperity, while including financial success, extends to every area of life. We can prosper mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, and financially in the Kingdom of God. A fool is a person who refuses to accept God and His wisdom. Therefore, the worldly-kind of prosperity, which consists only of money and material things, destroys the fool.

How do we live the blessed life? We must first believe that God wants to bless us. According to His Word, His plan has always been to bless His people. However, when we refuse to believe it, we separate ourselves from His provision. God’s best for His people includes a life of abundance, not lack. This truth is confirmed throughout the Bible.

Simplemente leyendo las promesas de Dios no vendrán a pasar, sin embargo, encontrando la promesa que necesitamos en la Palabra de Dios es el primer paso para recibirlo. Una vez que recibimos la promesa, debemos creerlo, declararlo, meditar en el y aceptarlo. Debemos estar seguros de ser obedientes a la Palabra de Dios y hacer lo que es agradable en Su vista para así ver las promesas manifestarse en nuestras vidas.

Simply reading God’s promises in the Bible does not make them come to pass; however, finding the promise we need in God’s Word is the first step to receiving it. Once we receive the promise, we must believe it, speak it, meditate on it, and accept it. We must also be sure to be obedient to God’s Word and do what is pleasing in His sight to see His promises manifest in our lives.

The term “the fear of the Lord” describes the attitude we should have concerning God and His ways. It is an attitude of respect and reverence that moves us toward holiness. It is also the mind-set that hates what God hates and loves what He loves. When we take His side against evil, He rewards us by honoring us, blessing us, and empowering our lives.
