INTRODUCTION
...A pastor auctions off, for thousands of dollars, three “blessings” of God. These are characteristic of a message which is being preached ever more widely: that God's blessings are for sale. God's grace is lost; God sells His services to believers, according to some. Not only is the gospel of God's grace lost through these false teachings, but Christians become confused about God's role in their prosperity. The following study is given with the purpose of clarifying God's way of prospering His children.

He is our heavenly Father, and He has in His hands all the wealth of the universe, of that which is spiritual and that which is material.

Only when the Christian 1) has this kind of faith and 2) learns to use good practices, will he or she will be able to enjoy the great prosperity that God wants to provide.

THE LORD WANTS TO PROSPER HIS CHURCH
Up to this point, the focus of this study has been on the prosperity of the believer as an individual and as a member of his or her family. Each individual is precious to the Lord; He even knows the number of hairs on one's head Matthew 10:30
