THE PRINCIPLES OF PROSPERITY IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD<br />

M.M.NINAN<br />

Heb 6:12<br />

We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through<br />

faith and patience <strong>in</strong>herit what has been promised.<br />

If you have learned to give, learn also to receive. To give may boost<br />

your ego, but to receive is humiliat<strong>in</strong>g. Hence many have not learned<br />

to receive gracefully. K<strong>in</strong>gdom <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> is giv<strong>in</strong>g and receiv<strong>in</strong>g that<br />

our life may be made perfect. It is a lov<strong>in</strong>g giv<strong>in</strong>g, mutually edify<strong>in</strong>g<br />

mutually support<strong>in</strong>g system.<br />

5. BUILD ON THE ROCK<br />

At <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> his discourse on <strong>the</strong> pr<strong>in</strong>ciples <strong>of</strong> K<strong>in</strong>gdom liv<strong>in</strong>g Jesus<br />

told a parable.<br />

Mat 7:24 "Therefore everyone who hears <strong>the</strong>se words <strong>of</strong> m<strong>in</strong>e and<br />

puts <strong>the</strong>m <strong>in</strong>to practice is like a wise man who built his house on <strong>the</strong><br />

rock.<br />

Mat 7:25 The ra<strong>in</strong> came down, <strong>the</strong> streams rose, and <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ds blew<br />

and beat aga<strong>in</strong>st that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its<br />

foundation on <strong>the</strong> rock.<br />

Build<strong>in</strong>g a house on <strong>the</strong> rock is a slow process (especially <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> times<br />

<strong>of</strong> Jesus, when <strong>the</strong>re were no explosives or vibrators) But that is how<br />

you build on a rock foundation. That is how faith comes. You cannot<br />

become a 4000 acre farmer overnight. You start <strong>of</strong>f on a small patch<br />

first. As you grow <strong>in</strong> confidence you enlarge your field. But you need<br />

to start sow<strong>in</strong>g. If you can trust <strong>God</strong> with only one dollar , do start<br />

<strong>the</strong>re. And when <strong>the</strong> bless<strong>in</strong>gs flow <strong>in</strong> you will be surprised.<br />
