그리스도 안에 있는 당신의 형통하는 삶
YOUR PROSPEROUS LIFE IN CHRIST
그리고 하나님께서는 모든 은혜 (모든 호의와 세상의 축복)를 풍성하게 너희에게 능히 오게 하실 수 있으시니라, 그래서 너희가 항상 그리고 모든 상황 아래에서 그리고 필요한 무엇이든지 자족하게 [어떤 도움이나 원조를 필요로 하지 않을 만큼 충분히 소유하며 모든 선한 일과 관대한 기부를 위해 풍성하게 갖추어지게] 될 것이니라 (고린도후서 9:8 확대 역본 AMPC).
하나님의 계획은 그분의 자녀들이 풍성한 공급을 가지는 것입니다. 나는 성경 기록들을 찾아보았고 나는 그것이 가난, 결핍과 부족함이 하나님의 뜻일 것이라는 생각을 우리에게 주는 어떤 부분도 발견하지 못 했습니다, 성경에는 그것을 암시하는 것도 없었습니다. 심지어 마귀도 욥을 부요하게 만드시고 큰 재산으로 그를 축복하신 것으로 하나님을 비난했던 것 (욥기 1:9-10)을 떠올려 보십시오.
당신은 당신의 재정이나 물질적 형통이 하나님께 중요하다는 실재를 받아들여야만 합니다. 그분은 요한삼서 1:2에서 말씀하셨습니다, “사랑하는 자여, 무엇보다도 네 혼이 형통하는 것같이 네가 형통하고 건강하기를 내가 바라노라.” 그것에 관하여 6:17 이 세상에서 부유한 자들에게 명하여 그들이 마음을 높이지 말고 확실치 않은 재물을 신뢰하지도 말며 오직 살아 계신 하나님 곧 우리에게 모든 것을 풍성히 주사 누리게 하시는 분을 신뢰하게 하고

YOUR PROSPEROUS LIFE IN CHRIST
And God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation] (2 Corinthians 9:8 AMPC).
God’s plan is for His children to have abundant supply. I’ve searched the Scriptures and I find no place where it gives us the idea that poverty, lack and want might be God’s will; there isn’t even a suggestion of that in the Bible. Recall that even the devil blamed God for making Job rich and blessing him with great substance (Job 1:9-10).
You have to embrace the reality that your financial or material prosperity is important to God. He said in 3 John 1:2, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” Think about that!
Then Job 22:24-25 says, “Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust…and thou shalt have plenty of silver.” If you ever wiped a table clean of dust, you’d observe that after a while, dust settled again on the surface. It paints a picture of the kind of prosperity God’s people are called to experience—an unending and abundant supply.
It brings to mind the words of David in Psalm 23:1-2, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures….” That’s the way to think. You’re plugged into an unending supply. This has nothing to do with the country where you live; it’s the life you’ve been called to in Christ Jesus.
Recall again what we read in our opening scripture. God doesn’t want you conscious of need. You’re an heir of God and a joint-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17). 1 Corinthians 3:21 says, “…all things are yours.” Your heavenly Father owns the whole world and has willed it to you because you’re Abraham’s seed: “And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:29).
Choose the joyful, prosperous life in Christ. Don’t see your job or business as your source of livelihood but as a medium to bless others. In Christ, you’ve been brought into the life of superabundance; acknowledge and enjoy your inheritance.
PRAYER
Dear Father, you’re gracious and kind. I thank you for making me a joint-heir with Christ; the world belongs to me. I choose to live the joyful, prosperous life in Christ, for all things are mine, and nothing good is withheld from me. I dwell in the realm of superabundance and my life is a manifestation of your love and grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

2 Peter 1:2-3 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Psalm 23:1-2 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
1 Timothy 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
