A Mentality Of Prosperity
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger (Leviticus 19:9-10).
In the above scripture, God was giving some instructions to the children of Israel on what they should do when they harvest their grains. He said to them,
..Thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleanings of thy harvest. In other words, Dont harvest everything; dont gather the gleanings. He didnt want them scratching for the leftovers; and it was a law. They were to leave some in the field, for the poor, the fatherless, and the widows.
Therere people who dont know why they havent made much progress in their lives. Some of them have prayed and prayed, yet no change. But you see, God doesnt fellowship with a man who has a mentality of poverty. Theres a mentality of prosperity and theres a mentality of poverty. For instance, some people would use their clothes until those clothes are torn to tatters. How sad! It could be any personal belonging; they use it until its not good enough to be given to someone else. Such a mentality attracts poverty, and it has kept many in a despicable state for a long time.
Whatever God blesses you with, no matter how small or big it is, when you use it, let it be good enough for someone else. When you give such things to others, be sure theyre in an excellent state to be used with dignity. Thats the way to live. There should never be anything that you own that you cant give out.
God wants you to always be a blessing to others who arent as blessed as you are. Therere things you havent used in a long while, yet youre keeping them. Thats not a prosperity attitude. Do the Word; get into your closet and search out belongings youve piled up and probably wouldnt even use for another one or two years. Give them out, and watch your life take an upward dive.
PRAYER:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed me with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ! I have received of His fullness, grace heaped upon grace. Im a blessing to those around me, and as a result, I grow bigger and stronger in prosperity, in Jesus Name. Amen.
