Kenneth Copeland — Reward For The Honest and Just

January 13th, 2010 Comments off

Kenneth and Gloria Copeland

Proverbs 11:25
KJV—The liberal soul shall be made fat:
and he that watereth shall be watered
also himself.

Amp—The liberal person shall be enriched,
and he who waters shall himself be watered.

Moffatt—A liberal soul will be enriched,
and he who waters will himself be watered.

NIV—A generous man will prosper; he who
refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

Proverbs 13:4
KJV—The soul of the sluggard desireth,
and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent
shall be made fat.

Amp—The appetite of the sluggard craves
and gets nothing, but the appetite of the
diligent shall be abundantly supplied.

Moffatt—The lazy man has longings, but gets
nothing: the diligent man is amply supplied.

NIV—The sluggard craves and gets
nothing, but the desires of the diligent are
fully satisfied.

Proverbs 13:11-13
KJV—Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished:
but he that gathereth by labour
shall increase. Hope deferred maketh the
heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is
a tree of life. Whoso despiseth the word
shall be destroyed: but he that feareth the
commandment shall be rewarded.

Amp—Wealth [not earned] but won in
haste, or unjustly, or from the production
of things for vain or detrimental use, [such
riches] will dwindle away; but he who
gathers little by little will increase them.
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but
when the desire is fulfilled, it is a tree of life.
Whoever despises the Word [of God] brings
destruction upon himself, but he who (reverently)
fears and respects the commandment
[of God] shall be rewarded.

Moffatt—Wealth won in haste will dwindle,
but, gathered gradually it will grow. Hope
deferred is sickening, it is new life to have
desire fulfilled. He who despises God’s decree
shall perish: to stand in awe of God’s
command is safety.

NIV—Dishonest money dwindles away,
but he who gathers money little by little
makes it grow. Hope deferred makes
the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a
tree of life. He who scorns instruction will
pay for it, but he who respects a command
is rewarded.

and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and

of Jerusalem! Believe in the Lord your God,
and you shall be established; believe and

As they advanced, Jehoshaphat stood and
said, “Listen, men of Judah and citizens of
Jerusalem! Take hold of the Eternal your
God and you will keep hold of life; hold by
his prophets, and you will prosper.”

NIV—Early in the morning they left for
the Desert of Tekoa. As they set out,

Judah and people of Jerusalem! Have faith
in the Lord your God and you will be upheld;
have faith in his prophets and you will
be successful.”

Deuteronomy 6:1-3

KJV—Now these are the commandments,
the statutes, and the judgments, which the
Lord your God commanded to teach you,
that ye might do them in the land whither ye
go to possess it: That thou mightest fear the
Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his
commandments, which I command thee, thou,
and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of
thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it;
that it may be well with thee, and that ye
may increase mightily, as the Lord God of thy
fathers hath promised thee, in the land that
floweth with milk and honey.

Amp—Now this is the instruction, the laws,
and the precepts, which the Lord your God
commanded me to teach you, that you
might do them in the land to which you go
to possess it; That you may (reverently) fear
the Lord your God, you and your son and
your son’s son, and keep all His statutes
and His commandments, which I command
you, all the days of your life; and that your
days may be prolonged. Hear therefore, O
Israel, and be watchful to do them; that it
may be well with you, and that you may
increase exceedingly as the Lord God of
your fathers has promised you, in a land
flowing with milk and honey.

Moffatt—Now here is the code, the rules
and regulations, which the Eternal your
God has directed that you are to be taught
to follow in the land which you are crossing
to make your own, a land abounding with
milk and honey, that you may reverence
the Eternal your God by obeying all his
rules and orders all your life, as I enjoin
them upon you and your sons and your
grandsons, that you may have a long life.
Listen then, Israel, and be mindful to obey,
that things may go well with you, and that
you may multiply greatly, as the Eternal the
God of your fathers has promised you.

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.
