Prosperity- A Personal View

Someone  spoke of Prosperity- the Gospel of Prosperity and that got this writer's ears all pricked up ! When one speaks of prosperity, what do you want to hear?? the sound of fresh crisp notes whoosh! whoosh! whooshing into your bank account, your pockets, your treasure chest or an avalanche of gold roaring into your strongroom?

Either one, sounds good to YT and she would love to sit down and be educated . Won't mind the extras!after all, in today's materialistic world, SOMETIMES, money speaks louder than even blood ties, relationship etc..etc There are tales aplenty, how even the closest ties had been  severed all because of money. No money no talk!So could anyone be blamed for wanting to master the art of attracting prosperity???

Whatever it is, prosperity, does mean , never knowing the meaning of hunger...well provided for ...giving us that much needed leverage, in life. But then again, over indulgence could proved cancerous. Indeed riches, is one of the idols, the Holy Teachings reminded  us not to be overly attuned to, lest, we lose our soul and forget the meaning of love and what humanity is all about. Lest, we lose our lives and drown in the sins of our own desires, sniffing out the light, which gives life its meaning.

But good Sir , it is sometimes good to hear the lyrics of  prosperity, because  it is very much faith, belief and positiveness, confidence that God in his goodness provides and that trust strengthens anxious minds, especially when needs and wants overwhelms- and of course we need money every breath and every step of our journey. Sad but true.

But fret not, followers of the Light will never lose sight of what the cross represents.....what love has given us... life ; when our tasks on earth is finally done  and in more ways than one, we try to follow the teachings imparted us but , this journey has also taught us that the reality of life's living cannot be dismissed...the parable of the talents has significance.and it is imperative that we  make good and enhance the gifts and  resources given us , to justify our very existence here on earth.

A successful businessman, a Christian brethren when asked the secret to his success said,  the words which inspired him to rise out of the ashes of poverty to what status he had attained, came from the teachings of faith and trust, the words of the Lord Jesus " Truly I say to you, if you have faith and never doubt, you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree but even if you say to this mountain, " Be taken up and cast into the sea, it will be done. And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith." Matthew 21:21-22

This writer truly believes that prosperity comes from trust and faith, belief in self, and in our good Lord and God above. The definition of prosperity and how it much controls your mind,and your life, is something very individual. It is in a way, subjective just like the happiness and the wealth word. In the eyes of Yours Truly,  Prosperity in its sufficiency and in the right dose, is   good for the soul-and with needs taken care of,  peace and contentment flows in.  And Peace is Great Prosperity.
