Matthew 11:28-30

Saturday, April 26, 2008

I'm not a fan of the 'prosperity gospel' and yet reading this morning it becomes clearer to me what and where your prosperity lies.

msg. Matthew 13: 11-15 He replied, "You've been given insight into God's kingdom. You know how it works. Not everybody has this gift, this insight; it hasn't been given to them. Whenever someone has a ready heart for this, the insights and understandings flow freely. But if there is no readiness, any trace of receptivity soon disappears.

niv Matthew 13:12 Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.

It's not about stuff and things it's about knowledge of Him and the more of that we humbly receive the more prosperous we are.
