As Christians, our challenge is to live in this world without becoming worldly. Someday the world and everything in it will pass away; however, the Word will never pass away. Therefore, we must train ourselves in the Word, just as soldiers train for combat. Satan is constantly seeking whom he may devour in these last days. If we are not living holy, we will be defeated by temptation.

God wants His people to be successful in every area of life. Many Christians have a difficult time accepting this; however, the Word contains many promises of total life prosperity. One of the first steps to receiving His promises is to believe that it is His will for us to prosper.

We can all live a radically changed life. All that is required is obedience to God. As we grow spiritually, there are levels of maturity He expects us to reach. He also expects us to move from fear to faith, in obedience to Him. He wants us to learn His Word and do it without wavering.

Many people accept insufficiency in their lives because they believe lack is simply a part of life. They erroneously believe that God teaches us lessons through poverty. However, this is far from the truth. Poverty destroys people and God is not the destroyer. Poverty is a creation of Satan. God wants to see His people prosper in every way, even beyond their own imaginations.

Prosperity is not just about money. God desires to prosper His people beyond their expectations; however, we must understand that prosperity in His Kingdom will require His standards. We cannot get around the fact that we must cultivate a relationship with Him, have faith, and receive His instructions. When we renew our minds with His Word, we take one of the first steps to receiving the God-kind of prosperity.
