There are caution signs for things that hold us back and keep us in lack. Here are some things to avoid in order to live in greater prosperity:
- Loving Pleasure - Prov. 21:17 Those who love pleasure become poor; wine and luxury are not the way to riches. Buy now - Pay later; it will hold you back and keep you in lack!
- Talk - Prov. 14:23 All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. Idle chatter - all talk and no action. - Idle talk will hold you back and keep you in lack!
- Laziness - Prov. 10:4 Lazy hands make a man poor, but diligent hands bring wealth.
- Being Stingy - Prov. 11:24 It is possible to give freely and become more wealthy, but those who are stingy will lose everything.
- Get-Rich-Quick - Prov. 28:22 Trying to get rich quick is evil and leads to poverty.
Some of our life issues are only symptoms or results of wrong root issues in our life and some life issues are through no fault of our own!
CRUCIAL QUESTION:
When do I need to change? When do I need to hold on?
- One is STUBBORN (sin)
- One is FAITH (righteous)
Wrong Reasons to Change our Action:
- Fear: outcome OR others perception
- Pressure: from friends OR family
- Problems: "My life would be easier"
- People: "They are holding back my blessing"
- Potential Prosperity: "Show me the money"
We must be Led by:
- His Word - not the World
- Faith - not Fear
- His Spirit - not by Flesh
