So why does God want us to prosper financially? So we (those in Christ) can continue the work of His Kingdom that Jesus started here on earth.
Deuteronomy 8:18 tells us that God gives us power to get wealth to establish His covenant. If that's the case, why doesn't God just give us the wealth so as many of us do we don't have to struggle? Because most of us would use that wealth for our own selfish purposes.
Yes, God wants us to have an abundant life as John 10:10 tells us, but we first have to develop a heart for God, and follow His plan to establish His covenant - Use the wealth He blesses us with to further His Kingdom on the earth, and then He will bless us with more. This shows that we truly trust God as our source, and in the process we prosper financially as well and can have the abundant life God wants us to have.
So get it settled in your heart/spirit once and for all that God wants you to prosper (see Post #34). Then, understand and demonstrate that you trust Him as your source by using the wealth He blesses you with to further His Kingdom on earth, and you can be blessed as well (financially and otherwise).
We'll examine how God looks at money in the next Post.
