" TRUE SUCCESS "

JOS. 1:8

" If you are Faithful to God, you will be Rich." Is that the message God is giving to Joshua, the people of Israel and Believers through all History? The Answer is Yes & No.

Prosperity and Success come in many forms. Our Savior did not have a place to lay his Head (Mt. 8:20). The Lord of Glory was born in a stable and worked as a common carpentar. He never made the top ten list for wealthiest people of his day. Yet Jesus was both prosperous and successful. The Apostle Paul traded position and power in the religious establishment of his day for beatings, sleepless nights and the utter Joy of Planting Churches. Successful? {Prosperous? Absolutely!!!!

God's Promise to his People is that if they follow him and walk in faithfulness, he will bless them. This Blessing can take many shapes. Sometimes it will mean monetary provision. Many Biblical Characters experienced this. Yet it is a Bigger Picture than Just Dollars and Cents.

JUST ASK JESUS AND PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!
