Hello & 'Prosperous New Year', Everyone! I hope 2010 was a 'win-win-win' year for you in which you were a blessing to others, in addition to experiencing being greatly blessed! I hope that 2011 is 'like Heaven' on Earth for you and yours, meaning that I wish and pray that you and yours prosper physically (which includes mentally), financially and Spiritually!
Below, are some Scripts/Scriptures that can serve as a reminder that being rich (the right way) for great, good purposes is our Creator's idea and His desire for each of us, around the world! He desires for us to prosper in three major ways, simultaneously: Spiritually, Physically and Financially.
It's been said, repeatedly, "The rich are getting richer." Well, why don't we learn from the rich ones that gain their wealth morally & legally, do great good with it for others, their families and themselves and grow richer because of such wise generosity and usage of their wealth? If we will take the time to learn from them, all of us can become rich and join that group of the rich that become richer. Afterall, this is what our Creator desires for us, 'to be blessed to be a blessing' and 'to prosper financially and be healthy, even as our soul prospers.' (3 John 1:2).
