DO YOU WANT TO PROSPER?
God gives many blessings to those who walk in His ways. One of them is to prosper.
God says in Deuteronomy 28:11 that "The Lord will make you ABOUND IN PROSPERITY" (NKJV, ESV). Praise God. We all want to prosper, don't we? However, God's idea of prosperity is often different to ours.
The first blessing of prosperity that He states is that He will prosper us "in the fruit of your womb." This is No. 1 prosperity in God's eyes. In fact, He not only wants to prosper, but to ABUNDANTLY prosper the fruit of our womb (NIV, HCSB). The NCV translation says, "The Lord will make you RICH. You will have many children."
He then goes on to say that He will also make us prosper "in the fruit of your livestock and in the fruit of your ground." These blessings, of course, are to provide for the No. 1 prosperity, which is the fruit of the womb.
