Prosperity and Poverty? Keep walking with Jesus and don’t fall into a ditch!

Posted on 03/09/2009 by David Lee Martin in Featured Articles, Jesus - Provider

The word ‘prosper’ in this verse of 3 John is “euodoo”. Euodoo comprises two Greek words, ‘hodos’ meaning road, and ‘eu’ meaning ‘good’. Essentially then it means to have a ‘good journey’. It does not specifically mean ‘financial’, yet encompasses the thought that one’s journey through life would be adequately supplied in every way. The same word is used in 1Cor 16:2 referring specifically to finances.
While we walk this road with Jesus, we must be careful not to fall into the ditch either side, and focus our heart and mind on Jesus Himself, all the while expecting good things to come to us as we do so.

The Futility of prosperity without a purpose – Solomon’s musings on materialism

Posted on 03/09/2009 by David Lee Martin in Jesus - Provider

The book of Ecclesiastes is not an easy book to comprehend. Solomon’s musings swing between lucid insight to downright disillusionment with life in every temporary aspect. And this is the key that unlocks the whole book. When we consider things only ‘under the sun’, and not from a higher, eternal perspective, they do indeed often ring of futility and meaninglessness. From a higher viewpoint however, with an eternal purpose in mind, things make more sense. Anyway, check out what Solomon says concerning materialism…

Prosperity – A comprehensive list of Scriptures concerning the prosperity of the Believer

Posted on 03/09/2009 by David Lee Martin in Jesus - Provider

Our God has provided for our every need in and through Christ Jesus. 2 Corinthians 8:9 says that Jesus became poor that we might be made rich, and then 9:8 tells us that He will make all grace (unmerited and unearned favour and blessing) abound toward us, that we would always have all sufficiency in all things. Why? So we can abound to every good work and charitable donation, helping others. Deuteronomy 8:18 clearly states that God has given His people the power to get wealth, and again states clear motivation for this; to establish His covenant and will of love in the earth. Any way, here are the scriptures…

John Henry Newman

Our problem is this: we usually discover him within some denominational or Christian ghetto. We meet him in a province and, having caught some little view, we paint him in smaller strokes. The Lion of Judah is reduced to something kittenish because our understanding cannot, at first, write larger definitions.

Calvin Miller

As the print of the seal on the wax is the express image of the seal itself, so Christ is the express image – the perfect representation of God.

St Ambrose

A rule I have had for years is: to treat the Lord Jesus Christ as a personal friend. His is not a creed, a mere doctrine, but it is He Himself we have.

Dwight L. Moody

There is something so pure and frank and noble about Him that to doubt His sincerity would be like doubting the brightness of the sun.

Charles Edward Jefferson

Despite our efforts to keep him out, God intrudes. The life of Jesus is bracketed by two impossibilities: “a virgin’s womb and an empty tomb”. Jesus entered our world through a door marked,”No Entrance” and left through a door marked “No Exit.”

Peter Larson

When Jesus comes, the shadows depart.

Geza Vermes

After I set out to refute Christianity intellectually and couldn’t, I came to the conclusion the Bible was true and Jesus Christ was God’s Son.

Josh McDowell

No one else holds or has held the place in the heart of the world which Jesus holds. Other gods have been as devoutly worshipped; no other man has been so devoutly loved.

John Knox
