"The more they increased, the more they sinned against ME; I will change their glory to shame" (Hosea 4:7)
When you increase without a Godly character, you will sin against GOD. If you become prosperous against GOD's Will, and you don't have the Righteousness of CHRIST, you will also live a more ungodly life. That's why GOD doesn't want to make you too prosperous than you can handle. Your Godly Character is the Spiritual Gift that grants you power to Control your physical blessings in a Godly manner. So, if you want to live a more abundant life, don't go looking for money or financial prosperity, go looking for JESUS and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS. I tell you, even if you become prosperous, if you're a Believer and you're not Abiding in CHRIST, you will end your life in misery, sorrow and dismal failure. PROSPERITY WITHOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL DESTROY YOUR DESTINY "When you become Saved, GOD Blesses you Spiritually First, before HE Blesses you physically. GOD Changes your Character first, before HE gives you Prosperity. So, the Primary focus after Salvation is Development of Character, Righteousness. THE LORD Wants to Transform us into the Image of HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, having HIS Character and Manifesting HIS Fruit of the Spirit (Romans 8:29; Gal 5:22) Thus, your role as a Believer is to Submit to THE HOLY SPIRIT so that GOD can change your Character, Put HIS DIVINE Spiritual Nature in you and then Bless you. If you resist GOD From transforming your Character, then GOD Will refrain from Blessing you also. Because GOD doesn't want to Bless you when you continue to live in unrighteousness and rebellion to HIM. If GOD Blesses you in your unrighteousness, then you will be a bad ambassador of HIS KINGDOM. If GOD Blesses you in your perpetual sin, satan will use you to cause evil, rather than Glorify GOD. Therefore, if you want GOD to Bless you physically, you must First Permit GOD to Bless you Spiritually. Hence why GOD Said we must SEEK HIS KINGDOM and RIGHTEOUSNESS FIRST (Matthew 6:33). The Abundance of your Physical blessings will therefore be determined by the Magnitude of your Spiritual Transformation into the image of CHRIST. This doesn't mean that the more prosperous you are, the more Godly you are, wrong. In fact, there are many unbelievers in this world who are very prosperous and financially wealthy, but they don't have the LIGHT OF CHRIST, they have gained the world and lost their soul (Mark 8:36) But you are a CHILD OF GOD, YOU ARE DESTINED FOR EVERLASTING LIFE IN HEAVEN WITH THE LORD. This means that as a Believer, the Stronger your Relationship with CHRIST, The Greater your AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN, and the More Fruitful and Abundant your life on earth. This is the Biblical Principle to DIVINE PROSPERITY. Stop Seeking for Prosperity from other sources. If you're a Believer, THE LORD Has already granted you far abundant Heavenly Blessings and Prosperity to accomplish the task HE Destined for you (Ephesians 1:3). Just FOLLOW JESUS Wholeheartedly, and HE Will Use you Mightily. GOD BLESS --Ulysses
