3 John 2 says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” Proverbs 11:25 notes, “A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” Jeremiah 29:11 states, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Author Rich Brott begins with the fact that God wants to provide good things for His children. He wants for you to prosper and be successful in your God-given gifts and callings. But God is no vending machine, nor do His promises come without conditions.
If God cannot trust you with a hundred dollars now, how can He trust you with a thousand or a hundred thousand? Christians have access to unlimited and unimaginable resources. But with this access comes accountability. This is a lot of trust that God places in our lives. It is more than just finances. It is our entire life and how we handle it with faithfulness, responsibility, accountability, honesty, and integrity.
You can learn how to Receive the Prosperity and Provision of God!
Some people teach that we should give to get. Others teach that we should sacrifice and withhold from our family in order to give more. Neither extreme point of view is correct. We must provide for our family. We should not give to get. Our attitude should be one of obedience and liberality.
The best way to give to the Lord is to understand all that He has given to us, and then freely give back to Him. Author Rich Brott provides a very balanced perspective in his latest book, “Prosperity Has a Purpose.” He notes that we gain by giving and we lose by withholding.
When we freely give to God, regardless of our own personal need, we allow God to be big in our lives. We allow Him to provide for us. This can only happen as we buy into the principle of freely giving. If we are stingy in our giving and withhold from the Lord, we miss the many blessings and provisions He wants to shower upon us.

Biblical Principles for Success in Personal Finance is a blessed relief from so much of the world’s philosophy concerning finance, i.e. ‘how to get rich’ in so many lessons. Rich’s books are NOT like this. Instead, they are biblically based, full of spiritual principles, practical guidelines, and are careful to say that financial responsibility and integrity come by living a responsible lifestyle that is pleasing to God.
