You Were Wired for Prosperity
What the Bible Really Says About Wealth and Work

Traditionally, as Christians, we do not think that Christianity and wealth could be considered partners in the Gospel. But in reality, they were meant to work together hand in hand. It is quite easy to miss if we only think on the surface and approach it too religiously. What am I saying?
Jesus actually talked about wealth and money quite a bit. Twenty-eight percent of Jesus’ parables spoke about money, wealth, possessions, or financial stewardship. And in all four Gospels, He spoke over 100 times on the subject of money and possessions. So, I would say that GOD is very much interested in not only our soul salvation, but our financial salvation and multiplication as well.
Ecclesiastes 10:19 states, “A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all things.” Now, this is not Jesus speaking, but through Solomon, the writer of this book, who is believed to be King Solomon, David’s son by Bathsheba. I believe the heart of this passage is saying that with money comes great power and influence. By this, I mean that Christians — whom GOD created and gave power to get wealth so that His covenant would be established in the earth (Deuteronomy 8:18) — have been given clout, impact, mobilization, persuasion, and authority.
Now, do you see how money can answer many of the problems in the world that should be solved by the solutionists of God — us Christians? Yes, this is how we are wired for prosperity. That means we are engineered for financial success and wealth. We were built, designed, and predisposed at a foundational level for abundance, and given the power — the innate ability — to create like our Father GOD. If our Father created wealth, then we can too, because He has deposited within each of us the ability — our wealth gift — to imitate Him.
This article just scratched the surface. If GOD wired you for prosperity, then you need a biblical roadmap to walk it out practically.
The Kingdom Mini Wealth Manual gives you the foundational principles, scriptures, and action steps to align your faith with your finances — so you stop leaving money and purpose on the table.
“Because wealth was never the enemy. Misalignment was.”
