THANKS THAT LEADS TO PROSPERITY

While reading this Psalm the Holy Spirit impressed on my spirit that God's desire for us is to prosper. Most of the time when we think of prosperity we immediately think of money. Money is sometimes a part of our prosperity but sometime, out of context, money could be a part of our downfall. But truly prosperity means to progress in the things of God in every area of our lives, including our finances. In order for us to progress it is important that we begin to give thanks to God for is mercy. His mercy is his goodness, lovingkindness and his faithfulness. Just think about how good He has been to us. I have posted this Psalm in it's entirety so you can read it online and see how God is going to lead you into prosperity as you give him thanks for the mercy that you have already experienced.

Psalm 118

[1] O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever.[2] Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.[3] Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.[4] Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever.[5] I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place.[6] The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?[7] The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me.[8] It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.[9] It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.[10] All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.[11] They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.[12] They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of the LORD I will destroy them.[13] Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.[14] The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.[15] The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.[16] The right hand of the LORD is exalted: the right hand of the LORD doeth valiantly.[17] I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.[18] The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.[19] Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:[20] This gate of the LORD, into which the righteous shall enter.[21] I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.[22] The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.[23] This is the LORD's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.[24] This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.[25] Save now, I beseech thee, O LORD: O LORD, I beseech thee, send now prosperity.[26] Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.[27] God is the LORD, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar.[28] Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.[29] O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Just take a moment to thank God for his goodness, and then be silence and allow God to flood you soul with the power to prosper (progession in the things of God). May you prosper in every area of your life. Be Blessed.
