“The Power to Get Wealth.”

When Bobby and I first started in our ministry, we were preaching on “street corners,” in small churches, and anywhere anyone would listen to us. We were “very poor.”

When we were preaching in our “open-air meetings,” we borrowed chairs from the “funeral home,” because we could not afford to rent them. We asked people to give what they could, and I kept track of the offerings each night… $2.00, $2.50, sometimes $5.00 (and we had two small children). We never really understood that it is “God’s will,” for His children to be “prosperous and in good health,” even as our soul prospers.

We have taught our own children to give and we have taught our Haitian children to give to the poor. We taught them that it is “God’s will” to bless them and for the Lord to prosper them in the future… “But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is to this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18

God wants us to prosper because if we are poor, we cannot “help the poor.” Have a great day and may the Lord prosper everything you touch!
