Hello saints.
I am responsible now, I realize, to share what GOD tells me to share to His People. So real short, GOD spoke to me and revealed to me one of the secrets of prosperity.
This is what GOD told me.
"One of the secrets to prosperity is being content."
The Bible says that Paul received an offering from the Philippians, and he rejoiced . . . but not because he was in need. Why wasn't he in need? Because he had learned, whatever his situation, to be content.
I realized that much credit card debt, consumer debt, and foolish spending comes from a spirit of discontentment. Not being content with what you have. Not content with just a cell phone, but a cell phone with a camera, one that can play music, etc. Next year a new one will come out, and even though there is nothing at all wrong with the one we have, we will get the latest model.
Not being content with your job, so you don't excel. No excellence, no promotion for a saint . . . because we don't lie, cheat or sleep our way to a promotion.
Not content with your ministry, so you don't excel and train others. You don't train others to help you, you can't get promoted yourself because you are doing everything yourself. Not content with the church we go to, so we run around giving money / time / talents to every one when if we had been stable at one place, that ministry would be so much more of a blessing to everyone.
Churches aren't content with the musician they have, so they spend bigger bucks to bring in a hireling who is playing for money and, by the way, will leave as soon as the church down the street waves fifty more dollars under his / her nose. Meanwhile, the current musician who is working like crazy (and getting resentful too, by the way) can sense the spirit of discontentment . . . so instead of growing in their own anointing, they spend money on CD's trying to play the latest songs.
The Bible is true. Godliness with contentment is great gain.
Be Blessed, everyone
