Genesis 39:22-23 (KJV)
“22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it.
23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.”
Still feasting on the message Brother Fisher p...reached at our homecoming. He preached about not giving up on our dreams. Though he did not use this Scripture he alluded to the message in this Scripture. Many have built theologies surrounding prosperity making it the text rather than focusing on the context of which it has in Scripture. The way I see it, prosperity is not about possessions as much as it is a spiritual connection driving us as believers. The connection in David is when he released the smooth stone taking the giant out, the connection in Rahab is when she let the men down by a cord from her window, Samson pushed the pillows, Daniel praying consistently three times a day, The little girl when she tells the defense minister dying with cancer about the prophet who instructed him to dip seven times in Jordan, etc… We have visions in our hearts given to us by God and as we pursue them prosperity takes place. Our wellbeing takes hold of prosperity in the steps we take in moving towards the vision we have in our hearts. This was the case with Joseph and it is the case with us when we connect with those things God drops in our hearts. As a result, with God given visions we are motivated to act and prosperity follows.
