THE GOD KIND OF FAITH FOR PRODPERITY !

THE GOD KIND OF FAITH FOR PROSPERITY: The first part of Deuteronomy 28 list the many ways the Lord will bless His people if they would obey Him. He promised to bless their children, their crops, and Cattle. He promised to bless and protect them in battle. He promised to make them "plenteous in goods," and to bless them in "all that thou settest thy hand onto." These blessings was all-inclusive, but it also was conditional. They must keep all of God's commandments. And in that dispensation of time, all they had was the book of the Mosaic Law. Which are based on works ! They must be a holy people, not staying from Him and seeking after other gods, but serving Him with all their hearts. The reminder of this chapter, verse 15 through 68, list the curses that will fall upon His people if they did not keep His commandments. When I first realized this truth and saw the prosperity, material, spiritual, that God has planned for His people, and that every born-again believer in Christ Jesus is an heir to this promise. I could hardly contain my joy ! I was thrilled to find out that I was redeemed from the curse of the law, from the curse of property, and that Abraham's blessing is mine. We As Believers need not suffer financial setbacks; we need not be captives to poverty or sickness ! God has provided healing and prosperity for his children if they will obey His commands of the New Testament law of faith. When Jesus was here on earth He said, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, HOW MUCH MORE shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him ?" (Matthew 7:11). How many of us who are parents want our children to go through life hungry, sick, or afflicted, never having enough to get along ? No parent wants that. In fact, we work and sacrifice to try to help our children get a better education than we had so they can make a better living than we did. God put all the cattle here; all the silver and gold. It is reasonable to think that He did all of this only for the ungodly ! Certainly He loves the sinner, but does he love the sinner more than His own children ? No. God put all these things here for His people. He said to Israel, "if you be willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land" (Isaiah 1:19). And if God wants His children to eat the best, He wants them to where the best clothing; he wants them to drive the best car; he wants them to have the best of everything.
