Prosperity Gospel in the WORD OF GOD

Today in the Christian world we heard of a lot teachings and doctrines regarding prosperity gospel. They were taught that by giving tithes and offerings alone will bring prosperity in our lives. Many of us think that by having a lot of money, that is prosperity. Let's see what the Bible says about prosperity

"This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success." (Joshua 1:8)

Here the Bible says that when we meditate on GOD's word we will have good success. Success comes through the WORD OF GOD not by giving tithes and offering you get success but by living according to His WORD.We never find anywhere in the bible that says that in order to be properous you need to have great wealth. In the WORD OF GOD,wealth is not connected with prosperity. Prosperity means that when GOD with you all the time,that itself is a prosperity.

"And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian." (Genesis 39:2)

Joseph was a prosperous man when he was in the foreign land the reason is because GOD was with him all the time. When we experience the triune GOD dwelling in us, we have prosperity because all our worries, burdens and cares are taken care by the LORD. A simple life in the fear of GOD is better than a rich life with tonnes of headaches.
