Well in Luke Chapter 6, Jesus shares some prosperity secrets to receiving overflowing blessings.   These are not just “Attitudes”, but “Actions” that we can take to create prosperity and abundance.

Have you ever read Luke Chapter 6 verse 38?

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

Although a lot of people remember and quote this bible verse many don’t recall the prerequisites given in the preceding verses.  Everyone wants to have blessings that are “running over”, but there are conditions that must be met first. Let’s see if we can uncover these secrets to overflowing prosperity.

Prosperity Secret – Actively Love Your Enemies

“But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,  Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.   And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.  Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.   For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.   And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.  And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.” (Luke 27-36)

If we look closely, Jesus gives us the key action  points:

• Love is an action verb.  Do good to them that hate you.  Not just think good, but do good. 

 

• Bless and pray for those who treat you badly. Everyone deserves a second chance (turn the other cheek , offer coat after they have taken your cloak).  After all, didn’t God gave us another chance?  It’s easy to love your friends, but everyone can do that.  Be different.  Show love to those who are against you.  

 

• Lend without expecting a return favor.  Money of course is intended here, but it could also mean time and energy.  Maybe a sincere word of compassion when needed?  Do you think because it is so hard to do is why Jesus says “and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest”?  

 

• Be merciful.  Don’t take advantage if you have the upperhand. God loves people, so should we.

Prosperity Secret – Routinely Practicing Small Kind Actions Creates Big Results

In Luke chapter six verses thirty-seven and thirty-eight, Jesus really sums up what is required to create “Running Over” blessings.

Consistent kind actions like:

1. Don’t judge others
2.  Don’t condemn others
3.  Forgive others
4. Give and men will give back to you.

“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:  Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Luke 6: 37-38)

Have you ever tried to fill a salt shaker?

It is very hard to do without spilling some over the sides. (At least, I always do).  Well, verse 38 can be likened to that salt shaker.  Every small kind action represents a small grain of salt.  It is not the individual action but the collective power of continuous actions that creates big results. 

Yes, “Running Over” blessings can be created!

Consider this amazing reaction.  Each small kind action is accumulated and pressed down, shaken together.  No void empty space is left. No room for hate just love and kindness.  Because of our actions, God will give us favor with others.  God will reward us according to how we collectively act to our enemies, not just our friends.

Go ahead and start practicing these small kind actions.  It may take some time, but each one counts and before you realize it, “Overflowing Prosperity” will be yours.

During our bible study and research, we discovered four prosperity laws. Below are these key prosperity laws with supporting bible verses for your review.  If you desire more in your life then read and meditate on these divine words for guidance on creating wealth and abundance.

 Prosperity Law #1:  Keep God’s Commandments

1.  “If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.  And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.”( Leviticus 26:3-5)   

 

2. “If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land:”(Isaiah 1:19) 
   

 

3.  “For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”( Isaiah 55:10-11) 
   

 

4. “And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.” (Deuteronomy 28:1-2 )

Prosperity Law #2:  Honor God with Your First Fruits

1. “Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.” (Proverbs 3:9-10)

And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.  And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.” (Malachi 3:10-12)

 

3. “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)

 

Prosperity Law #3:  Trust God to Reward Your Hard Work

1. “Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase”(Proverbs 13:11 )

 

2. “The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. ”( Proverbs 13:4)

 

3. “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good.”(Ecclesiastes 11:6)

 

4. “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:” (2 Corinthians 9:6-8)

 

 Prosperity Law # 4:  Mix The Word with Faith

1. ”Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?  (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” (Matthew 6:31-33)
   

 

2. “For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.”( Hebrews 4:2)

 

Consistently follow these prosperity laws and you will create abundance prosperity and wealth in your lives.
