As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor—this is the gift of God. Ecclesiastes 5.19

Out of one man, God made billions that inhabit the world today. The difference between them is not only in race, but also in the manner in which they live. While there are those who enjoy of the best things in life, there are many who struggle to survive, without enjoying what the Lord allowed man to discover or produce. Why do people live apart from the blessings if they are available for all? Truly, what separates these people is the fact that some have faith and others don’t.

Those who listen to the Most High are loved by Him (Jo 14.21). Therefore, we have to preach the Gospel in Its totality, leading all to understand that there are no favorites or rejected ones by God. The Lord only asks us to believe in His Word so that we may see His glory operating in our benefit. He always seeks those who are faithful to Him, in order to give these people what He has planned for those who love Him.

To be loved by the heavenly Father means that He will fulfill His promises in the lives of those who honor Him. With this statement, we can understand why many people cannot prosper or receive other gifts. Those who are not interested in learning and obeying the divine orders will receive nothing from the Omnipotent.

God has riches and wealth, but only blesses with such things those who fit in His plans. Therefore, it is necessary to understand and execute the Lord’s precepts. Thus, the believer opens the way for the divine operation in his life. Those who are diligent in observing the Almighty’s orders will see that when they strive to fulfill the commandments, He will bless them. He has set the rules; it is up to us to observe them.

To prosper is good, but it is not everything that God can give us. Furthermore, it is useless to have riches and wealth without being able to rejoice in it. The obedient will prove that it was worth dedicating to execute their mission, for besides prospering, they will live the Father’s orders. Whoever submits to the Most High sees how much He has helped them to have the conditions to rejoice in their work.

Do not have a slack hand when you receive your portion from the Father. Then, you will be honoring Him, and thus, will be even more blessed. Why should you despise the gift of God? It is good to remember that the Lord’s gifts are irrevocable (Rom 11.29). If someone has been given the gift of prosperity, but bankrupted, he can rebuild himself.

Your decision to serve the Most High or to deny Him will mark your life forever. Therefore, decide to fulfill His will. You will certainly see that it was very productive to have respected the Creator’s orders and dedicated yourself to fulfill them. After all, the faithful will always be rewarded by the eternal Father.

In Christ, with love,
