You don’t have to talk God into the idea of
prospering you. Since the Garden of Eden, prosperity
and blessing have been His idea.
Many times in the Bible, God promises His people
that He will bless them. And that word “bless”
encompasses a wide range of good things that He
wants to do for us. In Vine’s Expository Dictionary of
Biblical Words, “bless” is defined as “to prosper, to make
happy, to bestow blessings on.” Webster’s Dictionary
defines “bless” as “to set apart or consecrate for
holy purposes, to make and pronounce holy, to
make happy, to make successful, to make prosperous
in temporal concerns or pertaining to this life,
to keep, to guard, to preserve.”
God has always prospered His people. He made
the earth for mankind—for His people. He delights
and takes great pleasure in prospering you.
As you study the Scriptures, you’ll see that it
is clearly God’s will for you to prosper spiritually,
mentally, physically and financially.
He wants you to experience His abundant
provision in every area of your life.
When you believe God is not only able, but
also willing to meet all your needs, your life
will overflow with the abundant blessings
He always intended for you to enjoy.

Deuteronomy 7:13

KJV—He will love thee, and bless thee, and
multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit
of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy
corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase
of thy kine, and the flocks of thy
sheep, in the land which he sware unto
thy fathers to give thee.

Amp—He will love you, bless you, and
multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of
your body and the fruit of your land, your
grain, your new wine, and your oil, the
increase of your cattle and the young of
your flock, in the land which He swore to
your fathers to give you.

Moffatt—He will love you, prosper you,
and multiply you, he will prosper the fruit of
your womb and the fruit of your ground,
your corn and wine and oil, the young of
your cattle and the lambs of your flock, in
the land which he swore to your fathers
that he would give to you.

NIV—He will love you and bless you and
increase your numbers. He will bless the
fruit of your womb, the crops of your land—
your grain, new wine and oil—the calves of
your herds and the lambs of your flocks in
the land that he swore to your forefathers
to give you.

1 Chronicles 29:11-12

KJV—Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and
the power, and the glory, and the victory,
and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven
and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom,
O Lord, and thou art exalted as head
above all. Both riches and honour come of
thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine
hand is power and might; and in thine hand
it is to make great, and to give strength
unto all.

Amp—Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, and
the power, and the glory, and the victory,
and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens
and the earth is Yours; Yours is the
Kingdom, O Lord, and Yours it is to be exalted
as head over all. Both riches and
honor come from You, and You reign over
all. In Your hand are power and might; in
Your hand it is to make great and to give
strength to all.

Moffatt—Thine, O Eternal, is the greatness
and the power and the glory and the preeminence
and the majesty, for all in heaven
and earth is thine; thine is the dominion, O
Eternal, and thine the supreme authority!
Riches and honour come from thee, who
reignest over all; in thy hand lie power and
might, and in thy hand it lies to make all
great and strong.

NIV—Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and
the power and the glory and the majesty
and the splendor, for everything in heaven
and earth is yours. Yours, O Lord, is the
kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
Wealth and honor come from you; you are
the ruler of all things. In your hands are
strength and power to exalt and give
strength to all.
