The more I learn the more I discover “I Don’t Know” diddlysquat!

Did you know that Romans 8:26 says we don’t even know what to pray?  “…for we know not what we should pray…” 

But thank God for His Holy Spirit within that does know what to pray.  “… but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us…”

How many times in life have you done something kind for another person… simple words of encouragement, picked up something another person dropped, held the door for the next person, and so on? 

Many times the Lord has led me to someone for one reason or another, and it wasn’t until after the fact that I realized it was His Spirit within working through me to that persons benefit. 

When I least expect it, God uses me.  I want more of that… His grace!

I don’t even know what to pray.  How can I ever expect to yield entirely to his will?  How can I even see the opportunities? How can I even take action?

I can’t.  I simply don’t know how.  Unless of course I’m willing to serve Him.  His grace is sufficient for me. 

It’s His grace that moves me!

THE LAST LAW OF PROSPERITY I WILL MENTION IS TO “HONOUR THE LORD WITH THY SUBSTANCE, AND WITH THE FIRST FRUITS OF ALL THINE INCREASE” (PROV. 3:9-10).

If we do this we have the promise, “So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”

*NOTE.  This post has been corrected since it’s original posting on Wednesday, August 19th.  A reader commented on the original post pointing out the fact that “Honouring the Lord with thy substance”, as it relates to today’s Church, is a matter of one’s heart vs. any obligation under the Old Covenant Law.  There’s no doubt in my mind that God does bless a cheerful giver, but to grab a hold of the promises of Malachi 3:10 would constitute the acceptance of the whole Old Covenant Law.

With that said… 

The question to consider is not whether to give or not to give, but whether our giving is done under grace or are we obligated to pay a tithe (one tenth) of our income under the law.

TITHING is under the law of the Old Covenant, and GIVING is under the grace of the New Covenant. 

Romans 6:14 says, “…for ye are not under the law, but under grace.”

Every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ has the privilege of giving “… as God has prospered him” (1 Cor. 16:2), and “… according as he purposeth in his hear…” (2 Cor. 9:7). 

We should give of a ”willing mind” (2 Cor. 8:12),  and cheerfully and freely (2 Cor. 9:7). 

Every believer in Christ has the privilege of giving to the Lord’s work because we have received His unspeakable gift (2 Cor. 9:15), and have given ourselves to Him.  There is nothing wrong with giving a “tenth”, so long as it is understood that we are not “legally” bound to any tithing ordinance of the Old Covenant.

There you have it.  We cannot practice these 10 laws of prosperity without being prosperous. 

If you want to prosper, set your house in order.  In other words, set your priorities.  What’s the most important to you? 

Follow faithfully the 10 laws of prosperity.

Soon God will lead you into blessings that you never thought possible. 

So there you have it… the 10 laws of prosperity!

THE SEVENTH LAW OF PROSPERITY IS TO OBEY THE GOLDEN RULE.

It doesn’t get much easier than this.  This means that you will always do unto others, as you would have them do unto you.

You must be a real human being and make people feel that they would like to be around you. 

If you let Christ live in and through you, He will make you free from all dullness and will fill your life with charm and influence.

These qualities cannot be put on every morning when you’re starting your day.

They must come from the inside.  It’s good to be as attractive as you can be outwardly, but let the greatest attraction… “be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.” (1 Pet. 3:4).
