Health, Wealth, Prosperity

 

Health, Wealth, Prosperity

Hebrews 11:37  “They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;”

     Some of the richest people I know still walk this planet.  Giving homage to the ones who have gone before us, they too brought their riches with them to the sky.  “You can’t take it with you” is a bunch of hogwash.  Paul’s trophies lay with him in dust, yet they made the jump with him at the end.

     So what of the health, wealth, prosperity talk?  Jesus must guarantee us this or He isn’t much of a god.  Don’t people bow at the golden Buddha’s feet and kiss the fruit offered to the India gods?  Don’t we make up some “higher being” in our imaginations that we may placate our fears and get?  Santa Claus is known all over the world, just in different robes.

     Jesus wore one.  I don’t think He drank Coke-a-Cola, but He could have run a great ad.  Imagine the Master of the Universe promoting high fructose corn syrup.  Neat huh?

     Easter has left me.  I see more rabbits in my back yard.  Cadbury took a hike and that funny green plastic grass went in the garbage.  I mourn.  How many children’s heads are thrown to the garbage because their brief attentions are wrapped up in what’s hidden in the weeds?  THE HUNT!  The hunt for what?

     Materialistic nation!  Awaken and see that God is good!  Without your required bells and whistles.  He is most grand.  Ever see the ocean lately in its placid lay?  Seen the gulls in their feathered breeze about a sun beach?  He is a God worth recognizing.

     Health.  I once was spiritually dead.  I hated God as a child.  I was rebellious.  Now I’m alive.

     Wealth.  He has given me relationships.  Those are forever.

     Prosperity.  I bear His fruits of love, joy, peace and so on.

     Others may come and burn my house, take my wife, steal my 401 K but I live the message.  I live the health, wealth, and prosperity message.
