Kenneth Copeland — Prosperity’s Principles and Foundation

November 25th, 2009 Comments off

Kenneth Copeland

When it comes to prosperity, the Word of God
is the secret to your success. But just reading the
Word isn’t what makes you successful.

When God instructed Joshua about what to do
to become prosperous and have good success, He
told Joshua three things to do with the Word on a
continual, night-and-day basis. He said to speak
the Word, meditate on the Word, and do (obey)
the Word (Joshua 1:7-8).

When we get actively involved with the Word,
allowing it to fill our thoughts, direct our conversation
and determine our actions, that’s when
we really become doers of the Word. And God
promised us, the doer of His Word is who will be
prosperous and blessed.

Leviticus 26:3-5

KJV—If ye walk in my statutes, and keep
my commandments, and do them; Then I
will give you rain in due season, and the
land shall yield her increase, and the trees
of the field shall yield their fruit. And your
threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and
the vintage shall reach unto the sowing
time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full,
and dwell in your land safely.

Amp—If you walk in My statutes and keep
My commandments and do them, I will give
you rain in due season, and the land shall
yield her increase, and the trees of the field
yield their fruit. And your threshing [time]
shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage
[time] shall reach to the sowing time; and
you shall eat your bread to the full, and
dwell in your land securely.

NIV—If you follow my decrees and are
careful to obey my commands, I will send
you rain in its season, and the ground will
yield its crops and the trees of the field
their fruit. Your threshing will continue until
grape harvest and the grape harvest will
continue until planting, and you will eat all
the food you want and live in safety in
your land.

Leviticus 27:30

KJV—All the tithe of the land, whether of
the seed of the land, or of the fruit of the
tree, is the Lord’s: it is holy unto the Lord.

Amp—All the tithe of the land, whether of
the seed of the land or of the fruit of the
tree, is the Lord’s; it is holy to the Lord.

Moffatt—The tithe of all the land, whether
in grain from the field or in fruit from the
tree, all belongs to the Eternal; it is sacred
to the Eternal.

NIV—A tithe of everything from the land,
whether grain from the soil or fruit from
the trees, belongs to the Lord; it is holy to
the Lord.

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Romans 8:32

KJV—He that spared not his own Son, but
delivered him up for us all, how shall he not
with him also freely give us all things?

Amp—He who did not withhold or spare
[even] His own Son but gave Him up for us
all, will He not also with Him freely and
graciously give us all [other] things?

Moffatt—The God who did not spare his
own son but gave him up for us all, surely
He will give us everything besides!

NIV—He who did not spare his own Son,
but gave him up for us all—how will he not
also, along with him, graciously give us
all things?

James 1:17

KJV—Every good gift and every perfect
gift is from above, and cometh down from
the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness,
neither shadow of turning.

Amp—Every good gift and every perfect
(free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes
down from the Father of all [that gives] light,
in [the shining of] Whom there can be no
variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast
by His turning [as in an eclipse].

Moffatt—Make no mistake about this, my
beloved brothers: all we are given is good,
and all our endowments are faultless,
descending from above, from the Father of
the heavenly lights, who knows no change
of rising and setting, who casts no shadow
on the earth.

NIV—Every good and perfect gift is from
above, coming down from the Father of the
heavenly lights, who does not change like
shifting shadows.

3 John 2

KJV—Beloved, I wish above all things that
thou mayest prosper and be in health, even
as thy soul prospereth.

Amp—Beloved, I pray that you may prosper
in every way and [that your body] may
keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps
well and prospers.

Moffatt—Beloved, I pray you may prosper
in every way and keep well—as indeed
your soul is keeping well.

NIV—Dear friend, I pray that you may
enjoy good health and that all may go
well with you, even as your soul is getting
along well.

Proverbs 8:17-21
KJV—I love them that love me; and those
that seek me early shall find me. Riches and
honour are with me; yea, durable riches and
righteousness. My fruit is better than gold,
yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than
choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness,
in the midst of the paths of judgment:
That I may cause those that love me to inherit
substance; and I will fill their treasures.

Amp—I love those who love me, and those
who seek me early and diligently shall find
me. Riches and honor are with me, enduring

gold, yes, than refined gold, and my increase
than choice silver. [Wisdom] walk in the way
of righteousness [of moral and spiritual rectitude
in every area and relation], in the
midst of the paths of justice, That I may
cause those who love me to inherit [true]
riches, and that I may fill their treasuries.

Moffatt—Those who love me, I love them;
those who seek me find me. I hold wealth
and honour, position and good fortune; what
I yield is better than the best of gold, what I
bring in is better than rare silver. I deal right
fairly, justly do I act, enriching those who
love me, and filling their stores full.

NIV—I love those who love me, and those
who seek me find me. With me are riches
and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity.
My fruit is better than fine gold; what I yield
surpasses choice silver. I walk in the way of
righteousness, along the paths of justice,
bestowing wealth on those who love me
and making their treasuries full.

Ecclesiastes 5:19
KJV—Every man also to whom God hath
given riches and wealth, and hath given him
power to eat thereof…and to rejoice in his
labour; this is the gift of God.

Amp—Every man to whom God has given
riches and possessions and power to enjoy
them…and to rejoice in his toil, this is the gift
of God to him.

Moffatt—It is God’s own gift when a man is
made rich and wealthy and able to enjoy it
all…and to enjoy himself as he toils.

NIV—When God gives any man wealth
and possessions, and enables him to enjoy
them…and be happy in his work—this is a
gift of God.

Jeremiah 29:11
KJV—For I know the thoughts that I think
toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of
peace, and not of evil, to give you an
expected end.

Amp—For I know the thoughts and plans
that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts
and plans for welfare and peace, and not for
evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.

Moffatt—For I keep in mind my purpose
for you, a purpose of weal, not of woe, to
let you have hope for the future.

NIV—“For I know the plans I have for you,”
declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and
not to harm you, plans to give you hope and
a future.”

Acts 14:17
KJV—He [God] left not himself without witness,
in that he did good, and gave us rain
from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our
hearts with food and gladness.

Amp—He [God] did not neglect to leave
some witness of Himself, for He did you
good and kindnesses, and gave you rains
from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying
your hearts with nourishment and happiness.

Moffatt—As the bountiful Giver he [God]
did not leave himself without a witness,
giving you rain from heaven and fruitful
seasons, giving you food and joy to your
heart’s content.

NIV—He [God] has not left himself without
testimony: He has shown kindness by giving
you rain from heaven and crops in their
seasons; he provides you with plenty of
food and fills your hearts with joy.

Psalm 92:12-15

Amp—The [uncompromisingly] righteous
shall flourish like the palm tree [be longlived,
stately, upright, useful and fruitful]; he
shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic,
stable, durable and incorruptible]. Planted in
the house of the Lord, they shall flourish
in the courts of our God. [Growing in grace]
they shall still bring forth fruit in old age;
they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality]
and rich in the verdure [of trust, love and
contentment]. [They are living memorials] to
show that the Lord is upright and faithful
to His promises; He is my rock, and there is
no unrighteousness in Him.

NIV—The righteous will flourish like a
palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of
Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord,

is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no
wickedness in him.”

Psalm 115:11-16

trust and lean on the Lord! He is their help
and their shield. The Lord has been mindful
of us; He will bless us; He will bless the
house of Israel; He will bless the house of
Aaron [the priesthood]. He will bless those
who reverently and worshipfully fear the
Lord, both small and great. The Lord give
you increase more and more, you and your
children. Blessed be you of the Lord, Who
made Heaven and earth! The heavens are
the Lord’s heavens, but the earth has He
given to the children of men.

Moffatt—The Eternal’s worshippers trust in
the Eternal; he is their shield and succour.
The Eternal remembers us, and he will bless
us, he will bless Israel and Aaron’s household,
he will bless his worshippers, both high
and low alike. The Eternal will make you
increase, will multiply you and your children.
Your blessing comes from the Eternal, who
made heaven and earth, the heaven that
the Eternal holds himself, the earth he has
assigned to men.

Psalm 145:8-9

compassion, slow to anger and abounding in
mercy and loving-kindness. The Lord is
good to all, and His tender mercies are over
all His works—the entirety of things created.

Moffatt—The Eternal is gracious and pitiful,
slow to be angry, very kind; the Eternal is
good to all who look to him, and his compassion
covers all that he has made.
